A simple definition<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>SAD was a standard customs form of the European Union<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIt grouped all the data necessary to declare goods for import, export, and transit.<\/p>\n<p>The SAD has not been fundamentally abolished, but it has been dematerialised and integrated into European customs IT systems as part of the modernisation of the Union Customs Code.<\/p>\n<p>The term SAD is still used by professional habit, but legally and technically, <strong>it is now an electronic customs declaration compliant with the UCC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The reference to the SAD boxes has been abandoned since 2025, making way for data sequencing through the import customs declaration H1 and the export customs declaration B1 within the framework of DELTA
