Newsletter (February 2026)

DAKOSY GE / ZODIAK GE

All Newsletters

Starting on February 24, 2026, we will be rolling out Release 2025.3 with enhancements and new features for all customers of our DAKOSY GE / ZODIAK GE software solutions. Newly included in this release are the Client Messages module for all users in Germany and Switzerland and the “Transport Declaration” customs procedure for our customers in Switzerland.

 We will also be phasing out the current HDS and GM01 interfaces at the end of the year. These will be replaced by the new Port Order XML interface, which has already been implemented in the Sea Freight Export module. For more information, please refer to the most recent EMP Newsletter 02.

New in Release 2025.3

Client-Nachrichten (Germany and Switzerland)

The Client Messages module can be used to authorize a user to send messages and notifications to other users within their own company.

• immediate or delayed display of the message
• single or repeated display each time you log in to the application
• see the news in a dialog box or as a message in the toolbar at the upper right

For more information about these new features, see Release Note 2025.3. 

New analysis tool for CBAM

The regulatory phase of the CO₂ border adjustment mechanism became effective on January 1, 2026. The regulation stipulates that if the annual transport volume of certain goods exceeds 50 tons, only approved CBAM declarants may import these goods into the EU. The ZODIAK GE customs software provides an analysis tool that supports CBAM reporting. You can find the analysis tool under the statistics queries.

Transport Declaration (Switzerland)

For customs clearance in Switzerland, you can use the “Transport Declaration” to submit an advance electronic declaration to customs for a truck or loading unit containing all goods being transported. This advance information provides Swiss customs with greater transparency and reduces the administrative workload. As a customer, you benefit from significantly faster and simpler customs clearance.

Customs topics

Re-export system (WKS) mandatory as of July 1, 2026 

Effective July 1, 2026, all exit summary declarations (ASumA) and re-export notifications (WAM) must be submitted via the new ATLAS procedure WKS (re-export control system) in accordance with the legal requirements of the Union Customs Code (UCC).

DAKOSY is already working on preparations for the changeover. The plan is for the first customers to migrate to the new procedure in March/April. The process should be completed for all customers involved by the end of the second quarter. The ATLAS application EAS will still be available until the end of the year, but new (first time) declarations must be submitted via the new WKS procedure from July onwards.

You will receive a short notification as soon as WKS is available, and similarly in the case that the date for the shutdown of ATLAS EAS is postponed.

Tipps and tricks

Column views can be customized (no additional costs) 

You can customize the columns in overviews according to your individual preferences. Right-clicking on the row with the column header opens the window for selecting and deselecting columns. A column is no longer displayed when the check mark at the front of the column is removed. As soon as the check mark is set again, the column will be displayed again. After each change, it is essential to save the changes so that the new view is still active the next time the application is started.

Favorites menu for overviews (no additional costs) 

The Favorites menu is located on the toolbar at the top of the window. You can create your own Favorites menu for your prioritized overviews. Select the overviews you want to display by clicking on the star icon.
