This Appendix contains the specific completion rules instructions for the 1-series Additional Procedure Codes for Data Element (DE) 1/11 for Inventories Exports.
Use the index list and the Additional Procedure Codes completion notes to help you identify the correct code to use and for guidance on how to complete the declaration.
Notes
The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the main CDS Customs Clearance Request Completion Instructions for Inventory Exports.
This Appendix only contains any additional completion notes for each 3-digit Additional 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 a supplement to the DE 1/10 Procedure Code Notes and therefore any instructions relating to the requested or previous procedure included against the relevant DE 1/10 Procedure Code (see Appendix 1: DE 1/10: Requested and Previous Procedure Codes) must also be followed.
The DE 1/10 completion notes, including conditions and restrictions, are not repeated within or superseded by the DE 1/11 completion notes.
