Simplified Procedures Exclusions List of Procedure and Additional Procedure Codes for exports

Find out details of the Procedure Codes and Additional Procedure Codes (both Union and National) excluded from use with Simplified Declaration Procedure (SDP) with regular use and Entry in Declarants Records (EIDR).

The exclusions shown in this list only applies to SDP (regular use) and EIDR where prior authorisation is held to use these simplified procedures.

They do not relate to Simplified Declaration Procedures on an occasional basis (C1 B&E).

Data Element (DE) 1/10 Procedure Codes cannot be used to declare goods if the DE 1/11 Additional Procedure Code (or when multiple DE 1/11 Additional Procedure Codes are applicable to the same goods) prohibit the use of SDP (regular use) or EIDR.

All Procedure/Additional Procedure Codes applicable at goods item level must have the same level of permissions assigned to them. For example,

  • an item has the following Procedure Codes and Additional Procedure Codes applicable to it — 1042 and F75. F75 permits both SDP (regular use) and EIDR. 1042 only permits SDP (regular use), EIDR is not permitted. If simplified procedures are to be used to declare this item, only SDP is allowable.
  • an item has the following Procedure Codes and Additional Procedure Codes applicable to it — 2300 and 0MG. 2300 permits SDP (regular use) and EIDR. However, 0MG prohibits the use of either SDP (regular use) or EIDR. Therefore, simplified procedures cannot be used to declare this goods item.

There is also a restriction, in including on the same declaration, different goods items that have DE 1/10 Procedure codes that do not allow the same levels of simplification, for example,

  • 3151 allows both EIDR and SDP; 3154 excludes the use of simplified procedures, therefore these goods cannot be entered on the same declaration if simplified procedure arrangements will be used.
  • 1040 allows both EIDR and SDP; 1042 allows SDP only. Therefore, the level of simplification allowed to be declared on the same declaration would be SDP.

General restrictions on the use of EIDR:

EIDR may only be used for direct exports and where the pre-departure declaration is waived, as per Article 245 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2446.

EIDR cannot be used to declare controlled drugs or controlled goods. This means that EIDR cannot be used if the goods to which the declaration relates requires endorsement at the time the exported goods are released to an export, re-export or dispatch procedure, of a:

  • licence
  • certificate or
  • document

In addition, goods that are subject to a physical control prior to release from the Border (for example an airport) or require control due to their nature (for example they are prohibited or restricted), cannot be declared using EIDR.
