ADM says circular 18/2026 is suspended and under review
Regulation · SectorWire deskSource published
Summary
Italy's ADM said Circular 18/2026, adopted by its Customs Directorate, was suspended and is being revised, so it does not cover activities dating from the Covid-19 epidemic. The agency issued the statement after former extraordinary commissioner Domenico Francesco Arcuri addressed a parliamentary inquiry committee. ADM added that products bearing unlawful EU-conformity indications cannot be cleared from customs into the EU market.
Why it matters
The clarification limits how the suspended customs circular can be applied to Covid-era procedures, affecting operators handling product clearance.
