Do you manage your company's imports and want to improve efficiency while complying with customs regulations? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by the complexity of pre-clearance procedures? If so, find out how ANTES can transform your day-to-day business!
Launched by the DGDDI, the ANTES system (Notification de Présentation des Marchandises et Dépôt Temporaire) aims to simplify and secure import formalities by dematerializing several essential stages. ANTES is gradually replacing the PNTS (Presentations Nationales en Transit Simplifié) system, for a more modern and efficient management of goods flows. In this article, we'll explore ANTES' functionalities, its benefits and how to prepare for it effectively.
ANTES is an online platform that centralizes two main import formalities:
ANTES consists of four modules:
The system is aimed not only at freight forwarders and customs representatives, but also at companies involved in import/export, carriers and temporary depot managers.
By interconnecting with other systems such as ICS 2 (Import Control System), ANTES considerably reduces administrative duplication. For example, operators can automatically import data from sea or air manifests.
ANTES guarantees complete traceability of goods, from the moment they enter to the moment they leave the temporary warehouse. This reduces the risk of fraud, facilitates customs controls, and contributes to the fight against terrorism and the trafficking of illegal goods.
With the option of submitting a DDT in advance, or combined with a notification of presentation, ANTES speeds up formalities. You avoid delays caused by incomplete or incorrectly filled-in documents, which optimizes your operations and reduces your delivery times.

If you're using a cargo community system (CCS) in ports or airports, don't worry: ANTES is compatible and allows for a seamless transition.
ANTES represents a major step forward for logistics and international trade professionals. By simplifying procedures and reinforcing traceability, this system helps you to manage your imports with peace of mind. Take the time to familiarize yourself with its functionalities today, so you can be fully operational when it is deployed.
