G/TFA/N/MDA/4/Rev.1
On 1 January 2024, the Order of the Customs Service No. 559-O/2023 came into force, establishing the mechanism for declaring international postal items in digital format and pre-arrival processing in the case of international postal items transported by express operators. According to the described procedure, in SIIV ASYCUDA World, the modules "Manifest" and "H6" – customs declaration with a reduced set of data were additionally developed, with the support of UNCTAD. Postal service providers are connected to the Customs Service Information System "ASYCUDA World", "Manifest" module, for the electronic exchange of advance data on international postal items entering the territory of the Republic of Moldova, implemented as of 1 August 2024.
Goods brought into the country via international postal items by individuals, with a value of up to EUR 150, shall be declared on the basis of the postal manifest with the set of data established by the Regulation on the declaration and customs control of international postal items approved by Customs Service Order No. 559/2023, submitted to the Customs Service by the postal operator at least one hour before the introduction of the items into the territory of the Republic of Moldova, which allows for prior risk analysis and distribution to control lanes depending on risk criteria.
Accordingly, when declaring goods in international postal items on the basis of the H6 reduced data set customs declaration or the H1 standard customs declaration, the customs declaration data is transposed into the postal manifest for each corresponding waybill, thus ensuring the recording and statistics of declared international postal items.
Also, starting 1 August 2024, individuals can declare goods in international postal items received, with an intrinsic value of EUR 150.01-1,000, based on the H6 reduced data set customs declaration, which is an electronic customs declaration and can be submitted to the ASYCUDA World Information System through a representative (customs broker or postal operator).
It should be noted that, as of 24 March 2025, the Customs Service has offered individuals the possibility to declare international postal items received in their own name through the public customs portal.
The provisions of Article 7.8, which establish a comprehensive, end-to-end digital framework for expedited shipments, are implemented.
