For every feeder, shortsea, bulk and general cargo vessel from outside the European Union, a declaration of all goods on board originating from outside the EU must be submitted to Customs authorities in the first port of call in the EU, four (4) hours before arrival there. Customs then uses this declaration to carry out a safety and security scan.
