Guidance

Appendix 2: DE 1/11: Additional Procedure Codes: Index List

Updated 6 July 2024

This Appendix contains the specific completion rules instructions for each 3-digit Union and National Additional Procedure Code that can be used in Data Element (DE) 1/11 for 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.

The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Exports.

Where the DE 1/11 completion notes contain different instruction from the Declaration Completion Guide or other Appendices, the completion instructions in Appendix 2 take precedence.

The Appendix is broken into two parts:

• Appendix 2A: DE 1/11: Additional Procedure Codes: Union Codes
• Appendix 2B: DE 1/11: Additional Procedure Codes: National Codes

Where a single goods item requires the use of both Union and National Additional Procedure Codes, Union Codes (from Appendix 2A: DE 1/11: Additional Procedure Codes: Union Codes Index List) should be declared first (see CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Exports, DE 1/11 for more details).

Notes:

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The DE 1/10 completion notes are not repeated against or superseded by the DE 1/11 completion notes.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.

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. This restriction does not apply to DE 7/10 and DE 7/18 where seals information is required for pre-departure declarations
• Information must be entered at item level where it differs for even a single goods item

However, 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 2A: DE 1/11: Additional Procedure Codes: Union Codes Index List
