2. Customs Control Equipment Instrument
​​​

The Customs Control Equipment Instrument allows Member States to purchase, maintain and upgrade state-of-the-art customs equipment such as new scanners, automated number plate detection systems, teams of sniffer dogs and mobile laboratories for sample analysis.
​
2021-2027 Budget:  € 1.01 billion
Programme

​The instrument aims to fund equipment that is not intrusive and allows for efficient and effective customs controls. Possible equipment that Member States can purchase, maintain or upgrade include scanners, automated number plate detection systems, teams of sniffer dogs and mobile laboratories for sample analysis. Equipment needs identification and policy relevant policy discussions are financially supported through the Customs programm, which runs alongside the Customs Equipment Instrument.

​The customs control equipment made available under this fund can also be used for other compliance controls such as visa and police provisions where applicable, maximising their impact.

Equipment is eligible for purchase only if it relates to at least one of the six following purposes: non-intrusive inspection; indication of hidden objects on humans; radiation detection and nuclide identification; analysis of samples in laboratories; sampling and field analysis of samples; and handheld search. This list can be reviewed as needed. The instrument will also support the purchase or upgrade of customs control equipment for testing new pieces or new conditions on the ground before Member States start large-scale purchases of new equipment.
The Customs Control Equipment Instrument (CCEI) specifically provides financial support to the customs authorities of European Union Member States for the transparent purchase, maintenance and upgrade of customs control equipment. This includes innovative detection technology equipment for border crossing points, inland customs offices and mobile customs units, such as
​
  • x-ray scanners
  • automated number plate detection systems
  • other non-intrusive soft detection equipment
  • a variety of customs laboratory equipment for goods analysis

This financial support can also encompass:
​
  • testing of new equipment or new functionalities in operational conditions
  • introductory staff training included in the purchase contracts
  • software and software updates directly necessary to use the customs control equipment
