EMCS Online
EMCS is the European electronic control system for moving goods in duty suspension and is a legal requirement in all EU member states.

If you are shipping alcohol, energy or tobacco products in duty suspension, you will need to comply by submitting your shipment details online.

Our software has been recognised by HMRC up to the current Phase 2 (FS2) level and will continue to be updated in line with HMRC plan to add further functionality during 2012.  

Phase 3 (FS2) released 1 January 2012
From January 2012 changes to EMCS allow traders to split a consignment of energy products when they are going to more than one destination (IE825). Traders can now also send and receive an alert or rejection message, before receipt when a consignment is found to be either incorrect or incomplete (IE819).

Phase 2 (FS1) released 31 December 2010
Since 1 January 2011, all UK traders have been using EMCS to dispatch or receive duty suspended excise goods within the EU.   Intra-UK movements that previously required a W8 form or commercial equivalent must also use EMCS, except for movements of energy products or those meeting the criteria for simplified arrangements. Consignors can cancel a movement or change the destination using EMCS.   Use of the eAD document was mandatory from 31st December 2010 although some EU Member States (including the UK) were able to send an eAD before that date.

Phase 1 (FS0) released 1 April 2010
This stage introduced EMCS to record the dispatch and receipt of duty suspended excise goods between EU Member States using an electronic Administrative Document (eAD). Not all Member States, including the UK, were able to dispatch duty suspended excise goods using EMCS and paper AADs and manual receipts continued until 1 January 2011.
