This Appendix contains the specific completion rules instructions for each 4-digit Requested and Previous Procedure Code that can be used in Data Element (DE) 1/10 for Imports.
This Appendix only contains the additional notes on specific declaration data elements in relation to each 4-digit Procedure Code and does not constitute full guidance on how the declaration should be completed.
The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the main CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports.
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.
Notes:
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.
Procedure Codes may only be declared with the relevant Declaration Category, as defined in the table below. Procedure Codes used on a customs declaration must all be from the same Declaration Category, for example a Procedure Code from H2 may not be combined with a Procedure Code from H4 on the same customs declaration.
| Declaration Category | Declaration Title | Allowable Requested Procedure Codes (Digits 1 and 2) |
|---|---|---|
| H1 | Declaration for release for free circulation and special procedure: specific use (end use) | 01, 07, 40, 42, 44, 61 |
| H2 | Special procedure: storage (customs warehousing) | 71 |
| H3 | Special procedure: specific use (temporary admission) | 53 |
| H4 | Special procedure: processing (inward processing) | 51 |
| H5 | Declaration for the introduction of goods in the context of trade with special fiscal territories | 07, 40, 42, 61 |
| H7 | Customs declaration for release for free circulation in respect of a consignment which benefits from a relief from import duty in accordance with Article 23(1) or Article 25(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 | 40 |
| I1 C&F | Import simplified declaration with regular use (DE 1/2 Codes C&F) | 01, 07, 40, 42, 44, 51, 53, 61, 71 |
| I1 B&E | Import simplified declaration on an occasional basis (DE 1/2 Codes B&E) | 40, 44 |
General declaration completion notes
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.
Appendix 1: DE 1/10: Requested and Previous Procedure Codes Index List
This index provides the Requested and Previous Procedure Codes for use with Data Element 1/10 for import declarations.
- The first and second digits indicate the Requested Procedure: the customs procedure to which the goods are being entered.
- The third and fourth digits indicate the Previous Procedure: the customs procedure from which the goods are being removed. 00 as the third and fourth digits indicate that the goods have not been subject to any previous procedure.
The DE 1/10 Requested and Previous Procedure Codes may be found in separate series according to the first two characters of the code (the Requested Procedure):
- 01 Series Procedure Codes: onward dispatch (OSD)
- 07 Series Procedure Codes: excise warehouse
- 40 Series Procedure Codes: release to free circulation
- 42 Series Procedure Codes: onward supply relief (OSR)
- 44 Series Procedure Codes: end use
- 51 Series Procedure Codes: inward processing (IP)
- 53 Series Procedure Codes: temporary admission (TA)
- 61 Series: Re-importation of goods
- 71 Series: Customs Warehousing (CW)
Use the Procedure Code index list and their completion notes to help you identify the correct code to use and for guidance on how to complete the declaration.
