Blue Belt pilot project: Evaluation report

The Blue Belt pilot project, set up to see if providing ship information could simplify customs formalities for ships trading within the EU, was evaluated from a technical, operational and legal point of view to assess how the service was being used by the customs authorities.

The Blue Belt Pilot Project provides ship notification reports to customs authorities of all EU Member States, with the aim of supporting customs by providing verified
information about the voyages of vessels engaged in intra-EU trade.
