EMCS solution
Our application for the entire EMCS process.

Imagine you had a good connection to customs. You could transmit administrative documents automatically. Handle the EMCS procedure with ease. Speed up the transport of excisable goods. And how would it be if the good connection became a digital leased line? Our certified software ensures seamless connections. With VTA-EMCS, you can integrate the computerized transport and control system into your business processes and easily meet all requirements - without having to introduce new workflows or train your employees.

EMCS is a major challenge for many companies

From decades of cooperation with tax warehouse operators, mineral oil companies or breweries, we understand how time-consuming it is to transport excisable goods. In particular, you need to ensure that the EMCS process has been successfully triggered before the products leave your warehouse or plant. Starting with the registration number, through the excise duty item, to the expected duration of the transport: countless details have to be entered before your goods are allowed to start moving. Sure, the European Union's EMCS is helpful - but it doesn't allow you to store loading data. So you're forced to enter countless pieces of data by hand over and over again.

  • Delays in delivery due to EMCS failures.

  • Error-prone, time-consuming and repetitive entry of data

  • Incorrect or missing registration in the EMCS process leads to penaltie

  • Insufficient transparency in the transport process

  • Complex integration of the EMCS procedure into existing business processes

Frequently asked questions

Excisable goods are subject to excise duties when they are produced or traded. In Germany, these include tobacco products, alcoholic beverages and petroleum products such as gasoline or diesel fuel.

VTA offers three interfaces to handle the EMCS procedure:

Webservice
The web service is a service that allows your program to connect directly to the VTA interface and exchange data automatically.

File interface
The file interface requires you to create an EMCS file and forward it to us. 

Web portal
The web portal is an environment where you enter data manually. Which interface is right for you? That depends, among other things, on the number of promotions or the existing IT infrastructure. For larger companies that already have automated systems, the web service is suitable. The file interface is mostly used for customers without a direct connection to the VTA. Smaller companies that do not have a suitable interface are more likely to use the web portal.

No. However, it is also not necessary to continue using the customs web portal. After all, VTA offers its own system that conveniently handles all EMCS processes.

The login time depends on the interface you use. With the VTA Webservice, you fully automate your EMCS operations, so you usually receive a response from customs within a few seconds. If, on the other hand, you use the web portal, you have to enter some data manually - this process takes correspondingly longer.
