Advantage Customs - Your customs solution for ATLAS

Advantage Customs with dbh Logistics IT AG

Advantage Customs, the customs handling system of dbh Logistics IT AG, can illustrate all current IT-supported customs procedures. Our software is aimed at achieving quick, reliable and secure customs clearance. Utmost importance is also attached to usability, so that your employees will get used to the system quickly.

The customs application data is collected by means of clearly designed input masks in Advantage Customs. Before your data is sent, the system does a plausibility check in order to recognise any possible mistakes at an early stage. A further test takes place on entering the ATLAS system which is carried out by the customs authority. You can display the status of your data at any time.

To avoid multiple input of the data and thus reduce sources of error, Advantage Customs can be linked up to your ERP system. This way many sequences can be automated. In addition, Advantage Customs can be adapted to your individual requirements.

Regardless of whether you are a power user with a large amount of customs applications or only deal with a few customs applications per month, we have the suitable solution for every kind of enterprise.

What is ATLAS actually?

ATLAS is the IT system of the German custom authorities and stands for automated rate and local customs handling system. ATLAS is gradually being implemented for all procedures of customs declaration. For importing companies it is already obligatory to handle their processes using ATLAS. Exporting companies will also have to switch over to ATLAS by 1st of July 2009 at the latest. Then customs registrations on paper will no longer be possible.

As ATLAS is the internal IT system of the German custom authorities, you need your own software certificated by the customs authority in order to be able to send customs registrations to ATLAS. This software is provided by private suppliers, such as for example dbh Logistics IT AG.
