AN-PN-TS Module

AN-PN-TS Module

To enhance trade efficiency and comply with the Union Customs Code (UCC), the Malta Tax & Customs Administration (MT&CA) has launched a new electronic customs system within the Customs Electronic System (CES).

This system mandates electronic submission of specific freight information, simplifying the entry of non-EU goods into the EU.

The Shireburn Freight System, with its AN-PN-TS Module, fully supports this new requirement.


For troubleshooting errors with the AN-PN-TS Module, please refer to the AN-PN-TS Errors Article.
