Customs API Integration & Compliance for Integrators & Express Carriers — Europe

Modern customs API for Integrators & Express Carriers in Europe

Belli rebuilt customs API from first principles for integrators & express carriers in Europe — not as a bolt-on to a legacy core. Customs compliance is increasingly complex. Belli provides direct API integration with customs authorities in 50+ countries. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

Operators routing through Paris CDG (CDG) — carriers in the class of IAG Cargo, Air France-KLM Cargo — face the same pressure: more volume, tighter slots, and zero tolerance for a load plan that leaves revenue on the ramp. Belli's customs API targets a measurable outcome — 50+ countries automated — and goes live in 10 days for teams operating in Europe, not 12–18 months.

The operational reality in Europe

The friction is specific, not generic.

• Fragmented visibility between air line-haul and ground last-mile — compounded in Europe by EU ICS2 mandatory pre-arrival cargo data filing
• Billing reconciliation across millions of low-value shipments — compounded in Europe by slot-constrained airports requiring precise capacity planning
• Customs filing bottlenecks on high-volume e-commerce shipments

What changes with Belli

Belli replaces that with a single platform tuned for Europe's requirements:

• Bulk PLACI/ICS2 customs filing for e-commerce volumes
• Integrated capacity planning across fleet and belly space
• Automated exception handling that keeps sortation moving

Before Belli: Manual customs filing creates delays and compliance risks. Each country managed separately. After Belli: Automated filing across 50+ countries from a single system. Zero PLACI compliance failures.

How Belli's Customs API works in Europe

The mechanics are built for throughput, not paperwork — whether cargo moves through Paris CDG (CDG) or a dozen stations.

In practice, that means canada PACT and UK PreDICT support, US ACAS/ACMS integration, and EU ICS2 full compliance. Belli also covers pre-arrival cargo information filing (PLACI) against Europe's specific constraints. Every step is auditable, and changes deploy continuously rather than in quarterly batches.

Built for Europe's requirements

Europe is not a single market — it is a set of regulators, hubs, and carrier models that punish one-size-fits-all software. European air cargo is governed by the most complex regulatory environment in the world including EU ICS2 and ACC3 requirements.

That shows up in the details: GDPR compliance for all customer and shipment data processing; ACC3 designation required for all carriers operating into EU airports; and EU ICS2 mandatory pre-arrival cargo data filing. Carriers such as IAG Cargo, Air France-KLM Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo operate against exactly these conditions.

Going live in 10 days in Europe

Go-live is measured in days, and the date is contractual. The first days are spent migrating live bookings, tariffs, and message flows. By go-live your operators are trained on the same workflows they already run in Europe. Post-launch, changes ship continuously rather than waiting for a quarterly release.

The bottom line for Integrators & Express Carriers in Europe

For Integrators & Express Carriers in Europe, the math is simple. Each delayed integration is margin that never shows up on the P&L. 50+ countries automated is the outcome Belli is engineered to deliver. Carriers like IAG Cargo, Air France-KLM Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo already operate at this standard. The next step is a working demo, not a six-week sales cycle.
