Updated 7 October 2024

Known error workarounds may apply to this area of the instructions.

This Appendix contains the specific completion rules instructions for the 07-series Procedure Codes for Data Element (DE) 1/10 for Imports.

Use the index list below and the Procedure Codes completion notes to help you identify the correct code to use and for guidance on how to complete the declaration.

This Appendix includes Procedure Codes:

0700
0721
0751
0753
0754
0771
0778

Notes:

Procedure Codes from this series may only be used where an Excise Registered Consignor has started the movement of the goods under excise duty suspense on the Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) (as required).

Additional Information (AI) code ECONR (DE 2/2) and Additional Procedure Code F06 (DE 1/11) must be entered on the declaration unless all the following conditions are met:

  • The goods are being removed from a customs warehouse
  • For entry to an excise warehouse
  • Where the excise and customs warehouse premises are co-located.

The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the main Customs Declaration Service (CDS) Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports.

This Appendix only contains any additional completion notes for each 4-digit Procedure Code and does not constitute full guidance on how the declaration should be completed.

Only one 4-digit Procedure Code can be declared against each goods item in DE 1/10, however, this may be tailored to the specific circumstances for the goods treatment by the use of multiple Additional Procedure Codes in DE 1/11.

These completion notes are supplemented by the DE 1/11 Additional Procedure Code Notes and therefore any instructions relating to the Additional Procedure Code (3-digit code for DE 1/11) are not included here and must be read in addition to this Appendix.

General declaration completion notes:

Where the DE 1/10 completion notes contain different instruction from the main Declaration Completion Guide or other Appendices, the completion instructions in Appendix 1 take precedence Where information may be entered at Header or Item level:

  • It may only be entered at header level where it applies equally to every goods item
  • Information must be entered at item level where it differs for even a single goods item
  • It must be entered at item level where it would result in an incorrect duty calculation if only entered at header level, for example, a proportional reduction in air freight charges by gross weight.

However, please note that while DE 3/39, 8/2 and 8/3 are header level only data elements, they do not have to apply equally to all items on a declaration.

0700:

These completion notes should be read in conjunction with the main CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports. These are additional notes on specific declaration data elements in relation to this procedure code and do not constitute full guidance on how the declaration should be completed.

Description of procedure:

The use of this procedure code is a declaration by the importer that the conditions laid down in Council Regulation (EU) No. 952/2013, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2446 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2447 are met.

Release of goods for free circulation simultaneously placed under a warehousing procedure other than customs warehousing (placed in an excise warehouse), where neither excise nor (when applicable) VAT, has been paid, and where the goods have not been subject to any previous procedure. The law which governs the storage of goods in an excise warehouse may be found in section 17 of Receive goods into and remove goods from an excise warehouse (Excise Notice 197).

Conditions for use:

This Procedure Code is used where the goods are released for free circulation but where excise duties (and where applicable VAT) are suspended by entering them into an approved excise warehouse.

Any customs duties must be paid or accounted for under (Article 195, EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)), in order for the goods to be released to this procedure.

These notes must be read in conjunction with the appropriate completion notes for the Additional Procedure Code used on the declaration (DE 1/11).

Restrictions on usage:

The goods must be entered to an approved excise warehouse, registered tobacco store or other registered premises, declared in DE 2/7 (Identification of Warehouse) of the declaration, with suspension of excise duty and where applicable, VAT.

Where the additional declaration type used in DE 1/2 is: C, F or Y authorisation to use the Simplified Declaration Procedures (SDP) must also be held.

Release for free circulation is dependent on the application of customs formalities relating to the release of the goods. This includes the application of commercial policy measures, including any prohibitions or restrictions (Article 201, EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)).

This Procedure Code may not be used with Entry in Declarant’s Records (EIDR).

All items on the customs declaration must be being entered to the same excise warehouse and have the requested procedure code of 07 (as the first and second digit) in DE 1/10 (Procedure Code).

Entry under this procedure code is an undertaking by the importer/agent to pay to the Commissioners of HMRC immediately on demand any duties or other charges due in respect of the goods in question if the conditions of the relief aren’t met.

Entry under this Customs Procedure is a declaration that:

  • The goods are eligible for excise warehousing.
  • The goods will be deposited without delay and in the same state and conditions as at importation in the warehouse stated in DE 2/7 (Identification of Warehouse).
  • Any additional security which may be needed will be provided and
  • All other conditions and requirements associated with entry to the excise warehouse procedure will be met.

VAT:

Use of this procedure code gives relief from VAT which must be accounted for, if applicable, upon removal from the Excise Warehouse.

Excise goods may only be moved under excise duty suspension when a registered consignor has started the movement via EMCS following release of the goods to free circulation.

AI statement code ECONR must be included in DE 2/2 (Additional Information) and code F06 in DE 1/11 (Additional Procedure Code).

0721:

These completion notes should be read in conjunction with the main CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports. These are additional notes on specific declaration data elements in relation to this procedure code and do not constitute full guidance on how the declaration should be completed.

Description of procedure:

The use of this procedure code is a declaration by the importer that the conditions laid down in Council Regulation (EU) No. 952/2013, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2446 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2447 are met.

Release of goods for free circulation after temporary export for outward processing with simultaneous placement under a warehousing procedure other than customs warehousing (placed in an excise warehouse), where neither excise nor (when applicable) VAT, has been paid (Articles 259 — 262 EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)). The law which governs the storage of goods in an excise warehouse may be found in section 17 of Receive goods into and remove goods from an excise warehouse (Excise Notice 197).

Conditions for use:

This Procedure Code is used to claim customs duty relief on goods re-imported under the outward processing (OP) procedure with simultaneous release for free circulation but where excise duties (and where applicable VAT) are suspended by entering them into an approved excise warehouse.

Any customs duties must be paid or accounted for under Article 195, EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)), in order for the goods to be released to this procedure.

An OP authorisation, valid at the time of export, is needed to use this customs procedure. This may be pre-approved (single member state or multi-state) or declaration specific (Authorisation by Customs Declaration), see conditions and requirements detailed in Pay less or no duty on goods you store, repair, process or temporarily use.

Goods may be re-imported by a different person to the person who originally exported the goods under OP.

VAT relief cannot be claimed if the goods were sold while outside the European Union.

See conditions for use detailed in Pay less or no duty on goods you store, repair, process or temporarily use.

These notes must be read in conjunction with the appropriate completion notes for the Additional Procedure Code used on the declaration (DE 1/11).

Restrictions on usage:

The goods must be entered to an approved excise warehouse, registered tobacco store or other registered premises, declared in DE 2/7 (Identification of Warehouse) of the declaration, with suspension of excise duty and where applicable, VAT.

Evidence of eligibility for customs duty relief under the Outward Processing (OP) procedure must be held. A duty calculation worksheet to verify any duty override calculations will be required (see DE 2/3 Document Codes).

The use of this procedure is subject to a full authorisation (single member state or multi-state), or an Authorisation by Customs Declaration being held at the time the goods were exported under OP.

Goods temporarily exported for processing under VAT only OP (DE 1/11 B53 or B54 at export) may not be re-imported using this Procedure Code.

Where the additional declaration type used in DE 1/2 is: C, F or Y authorisation to use the Simplified Declaration Procedures (SDP) must also be held.

Additional declaration types (DE 1/2): C, F or Y cannot be used where use of the previous procedure was approved by Authorisation by Customs Declaration. If the previous procedure was approved by Authorisation by Customs Declaration AI codes ABDOU and 00100 in DE 2/2 may only be used with codes A and D in DE 1/2 on this declaration.

Authorisation by Customs Declaration may only be used where the entry to and discharge of the special procedure occurs within the same Member State.

Release for free circulation is dependent on the application of customs formalities relating to the release of the goods. This includes the application of commercial policy measures, including any prohibitions or restrictions (Article 201, EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)).

This Procedure Code may not be used with Entry in Declarant’s Records (EIDR).

  • Any additional security which may be needed will be provided and
  • All other conditions and requirements associated with entry to the excise warehouse procedure will be met.

Additional documents needed:

  • A copy of the export entry and/or a copy of the departure message, clearly showing the MRN is needed.
  • Form INF 2 is available to support claim to outward processing.
  • A C&E1154 has been completed to evidence the calculations used.
  • Documentary evidence of the identity and value of the temporary exported goods.
  • Evidence of repair costs where applicable.
  • Copy of warranty document or other evidence, where applicable if any repair is free of charge.
  • Where the OP authorisation was granted at the time of export under the Authorisation by Customs Declaration a copy of the authorisation letter issued by National Imports Relief Unit (NIRU) must be provided to Customs (on request) unless the MRN details of the export declaration have been declared in DE 2/1 (Previous Documents).
  • Where an extended guarantee has been purchased with the goods or the replacement is chargeable, this will be liable to charges on re-importation.
  • Agents must have prior written approval from the authorisation holder to enter goods to OP on their behalf and ensure a copy of the declaration is returned to the holder.

Excise goods may only be moved under excise duty suspension when a registered consignor has started the movement via EMCS following release of the goods to free circulation. AI statement code ECONR must be included in DE 2/2 (Additional Information) and code F06 in DE 1/11 (Additional Procedure Code).

0751:

These completion notes should be read in conjunction with the main CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports. These are additional notes on specific declaration data elements in relation to this procedure code and do not constitute full guidance on how the declaration should be completed.

Description of procedure:

The use of this procedure code is a declaration by the importer that the conditions laid down in Council Regulation (EU) No. 952/2013, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2446 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2447 are met.

Release of goods for free circulation after inward processing with simultaneous placement under a warehousing procedure other than customs warehousing (placed in an excise warehouse), where excise duties only are suspended (Article 256 EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)). The law which governs the storage of goods in an excise warehouse may be found in section 17 of Receive goods into and remove goods from an excise warehouse (Excise Notice 197).

Conditions for use:

This Procedure Code is used to claim simultaneous release for free circulation with the payment of any customs duties and import VAT, on goods that have previously been entered to Inward Processing, but where excise duties are suspended by entering them into an approved excise warehouse.

Any customs duties and import VAT must be paid or accounted for under Article 195, EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC), in order for the goods to be released to this procedure.

An Inward Processing (IP) authorisation, valid at the time the goods were entered to IP, is needed to use this customs procedure. This may be pre-approved (single member state or multi-state) or declaration specific (Authorisation by Customs Declaration), see conditions and requirements detailed in Pay less or no duty on goods you store, repair, process or temporarily use.

These notes must be read in conjunction with the appropriate completion notes for the Additional Procedure Code used on the declaration (DE 1/11).

Restrictions on usage:

The goods must be entered to an approved excise warehouse, registered tobacco store or other registered premises, declared in DE 2/7 (Identification of Warehouse) of the declaration, with suspension of excise duty.

Evidence of eligibility for customs duty relief under the Inward Processing (IP) procedure must be held. A duty calculation worksheet to verify any duty override calculations will be required (see DE 2/3 Document Codes).

The use of this procedure is subject to a full authorisation (single member state or multi-state), or an Authorisation by Customs Declaration being held at the time the goods were entered to IP.

Where the additional declaration type used in DE 1/2 is: C authorisation to use the Simplified Declaration Procedures (SDP) must also be held.

Additional declaration type (DE 1/2): C cannot be used where use of the previous procedure was approved by Authorisation by Customs Declaration. If the previous procedure was approved by Authorisation by Customs Declaration AI codes ABDOU and 00100 in DE 2/2 may only be used with code A in DE 1/2 on this declaration.

Authorisation by Customs Declaration may only be used where the entry to and discharge of the special procedure occurs within the same Member State.

Release for free circulation is dependent on the application of customs formalities relating to the release of the goods. This includes the application of commercial policy measures, including any prohibitions or restrictions (Article 201, EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)).

This Procedure Code may not be used with Entry in Declarant’s Records (EIDR).
