🇬🇧 English

This law requires French customs agents to use a secure electronic device for processing and signing customs documents. The device ensures secure access with personal codes and digital identification, guarantees all signatures collected are not modified once captured, and it encrypts and deletes all data post-transmission to prevent unauthorized access. Customs officers and signatories of customs acts are directly affected, necessitating them to follow the new secure digital procedures to ensure compliance and data security.
