Using together the electronic customs clearances and the simplifications notably reduces the necessary time, energy and the cost of customs clearances.

Those who are not able to keep up, their efficiency decreases in such a large measure, that they loose their clients in the sharp market competition in a short time, as this really happened with many companies in the last few years because of this reason.

Customs regulations have already made possible for secure economic operators the using of simplified customs procedures before our joining to the EU, but the initiation of electronic customs (E-customs) is undeniably in the interest of economic operators and of the customs authorities as well, which came to the front in the last few years
