TIRANA, April 22 – Albania’s customs administration is advancing reforms to align with European Union standards. The changes aim to improve control of goods and streamline procedures.

Deputy Minister of Economy Enkeleid Musabelliu said businesses will use a single digital entry point through the e-Albania platform. The system will remove paper documents and reduce waiting times.

Authorities are upgrading border infrastructure and digital systems, including the Single Window platform. The plan also covers land and maritime transport, with new monitoring tools to improve safety.

The project runs in two phases. The first phase, worth about €17 million, is near completion, while a €40 million second phase is under preparation, with full rollout expected after 2030.
