Appendix 23 Imports: Declaration Category Data Sets Landing Page and Introductory Text

Updated 28 September 2024

This Appendix provides a detailed breakdown of the specific data elements (DE) needed for each declaration category.

The Appendix is broken into 3 parts:

Description of the Declaration Categories covered by Appendix 23 Imports: Inventory

Appendix 23A: C21i

C21i (Air) Port Customs Clearance Request (CCR) - Imports

Appendix 23B: C21i EIDR NOP

C21i EIDR NOP (Air) Port Customs Clearance Request (CCR) - Imports released using Entry in Declarants Records (EIDR) where the C21 is also used to provide the Notification of Presentation (NOP)

General Notes

Appendix 23 Imports: Declaration Category Data Sets contains a separate table for each declaration category type, for example C21i. These tables also provide a cross reference from the new data element number to the previous SADH box reference number for correlation purposes.

The data set tables also state whether the data element is mandatory in all cases, optional for the declarant or dependant on the circumstances being declared.

Each Data Set table identifies the requirements for completion of the appropriate data elements on a Customs Clearance Request (CCR) dependent on the individual declaration category.

Where data elements have been ‘greyed out’ in the tables this indicates that the data element is not required for the specific declaration category.

A consolidated set of Notes are provided to assist in reading the data set tables.
