TheExciseMovement and Control System (EMCS) for monitoring the cross-border movement of excisable goods within the EU has been operational since thebeginning of the year. Implico has integrated in OpenTAS all of the electronic customs handling functions required by this system. These cantherefore run automatically in the background as part of the loading and shipping processes of a tank terminal or refinery. Compared with web-based EMCS solutions, this integrated, end-to-end application not only minimizes error rates; it also enables tank terminals to operate round-the-clock and ensures that data reaches customs much more quickly.
