Software developers: the schema for entry messages will change

On 2 September 2023, changes will be made to the response notifications for temporary storage declarations and to the unloading report message. This will bring about changes to the optionality of data elements and to the schema. After 2 September 2023, the old schema will no longer be supported in production.

The new message implementing guidelines (message descriptions) for temporary storage and for the presentation notification (v. 2.5) have been published on the Finnish Customs website. See all message implementing guidelines.
