The Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (FURS) has issued an official notice concerning amendments and supplements to the Regulation on the implementation of customs declaration, electronic operation of the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia, and other forms used in customs formalities. The notice, published in the Official Gazette, outlines several key changes that will affect customs agents, importers, exporters and other economic operators. Among the amendments are updates to the electronic filing protocols, revisions to the list of required data fields, and clarifications regarding the validity periods of customs declarations. The new provisions also introduce additional control mechanisms to enhance the accuracy of data reported to customs authorities and to streamline the processing of declarations in line with EU-wide standards. A significant aspect of the notice is the specification of a transition period during which both the old and the new formats will be accepted, after which only the revised format will be considered valid. The notice further details the responsibilities of customs agents in ensuring compliance, including the need for staff training and system updates. Failure to adapt to the new requirements may result in administrative penalties. The document also provides guidance on the handling of exceptional cases, such as corrections of previously submitted declarations and the submission of supplementary information. By publishing this notice, FURS aims to ensure a smooth implementation of the updated regulatory framework, reduce administrative burdens and improve the overall efficiency of customs operations across Slovenia.
