We would like to inform you that economic operators who intend to submit formalities related to the entry and import of goods into Cyprus in the new customs systems in a “System to System” manner, should fill in a relevant form and send it to the email address helpdesk.cyprus@customs.mof.gov.cy. This process takes place within the framework of the national plan for the installation of electronic systems required for the implementation of the Union Customs Code, which entered into force on 1 May 2016.

It should be noted that the development and deployment of electronic systems aims to adapt existing customs formalities and procedures to a completely paperless electronic environment.

Please find attached the announcement of the Customs Department for the submission of the formalities.
