Meaning
Multilingual online management tool facilitates the tracking and certification of animals and plants moving within the European Union. The traces platform centralizes the health certificates and customs documents required for the import of specific bio-based polymers. This digital system streamlines the communication between importers and exporters.
Border Digital
Digital entries replace paper documents to speed up the clearance process at the port of entry. By using the traces platform, a manufacturer can submit their safety declarations and origin certificates in advance of the shipment’s arrival. This reduces the time the goods spend sitting in the terminal and lowers the risk of demurrage charges.
Certificate Official
Official health inspectors use the system to verify that the incoming materials meet all safety and environmental regulations. Every certificate issued through the traces platform is traceable back to the original producer and the specific batch of material.
System Integration
Integration with national customs systems allows for a seamless flow of data across the entire European market. This connectivity ensures that all member states have access to the same information and can act quickly if a health risk is identified. Modern sourcing relies on these digital tools to manage the complexity of global trade.
