EurTradeNet is the global ear&voice of the Customs-Related Service Providers. As active member of the Trade Contact Group, ETN is highly participative at exclusive consultation fora of the European Commission and Parliament, and international observer at expert committees of the World Customs Organisation and standardisation workforces of the United Nations.

In Brussels EurTradeNet is a professional brother-in-arms of the well established International Associations globally representing air and sea freight, express integrators and postal services, freight forwarders and rail/road unions; widely the foreign trade industry. And at the National level ETN is also linked to the local discussions on eCustoms, either via direct presence of EurTradeNet as acknowledged International Association, or through ETN Members and Affiliates based there.

All ETN Members have equal rights on professional representation and specialised information. And there is no exclusivity at EurTradeNet: in most European countries there are several ETN Members, and even a collaboration agreement with the National groupings of CRSPs when existing and aligned with the ETN neutral non-profit professional mission. In some relevant EU countries, straight opening an ETN National branch or local knowledge cluster is decided as the best platform for the direct CRSPs info&lobby actuations up there.

So far EurTradeNet has ETN Affiliation agreements with both AFSS in the United Kingdom and CRSNP in Belgium. As a knowledge-branch affiliation, EurTradeNet officially launched ETN-Italia in November 2015, starting with five Italian CRSPs, and more to adhere step by step. ETN-Italia was the first to carry on as a National branch of EurTradeNet, globally co-ordinated but locally independent. And right initiated year 2017, ETN Czech Republic follows the Italian path.
