CDSSG11030 - Step-By-Step Guide, Step 6 - Procedure Code Requirements for Additional Information Statements

Once the chosen Procedure Code is selected (see section CDSSG09000), the completion notes for the specific Procedure Code (found in Appendix 1 for the relevant Movement Type) should be reviewed.

Any DE 2/2 AI completion notes in each Procedure Code will specify any AI codes that are required in order to release the goods to the customs procedure.

Where an AI code is specified in Appendix 1, the required code should be checked to identify if the AI code is mandatory in all cases or only required in certain circumstances.

For example:

Procedure Code 4200 states:

The following AI statements must be declared in all cases in D.E. 2/2:

Coverage	AI statement code	Details to be declared
Onward Supply using Requested Procedure 42.	OSR42	Enter the Name and Address details of the party to whom the goods are being supplied. Enter the country of destination as a suffix to the address separated by ‘-‘.
To be used for: RoW imports direct into NI; Goods sent from GB to NI that are not in free circulation and home use; OSR movements into NI (Row - NI and GB - NI); Movements to NI from UK Special Fiscal Territories or EU Special Fiscal Territories	NIIMP	Leave Blank. Note: Use of NIIMP requires both UK and EU Import Control measures listed in the NI Online Tariff for the commodity code to be met.

Where an AI code is mandatory, failure to declare the required code will result in the declaration being rejected.

Appendix 1 will also give details of how the AI statement must be completed. Where the guidance in Appendix 1 differs from the main guidance for the AI code given in Appendix 4, the completion instructions in Appendix 1 take precedence.

For example:

Procedure Code 5100 states for AI code 00100:

Coverage	AI statement code	Details to be declared
Authorisation by Customs Declaration only: Special Procedure Authorisation granted on the declaration at the time of entry to the procedure.	00100	Enter ‘Simplified authorisation’. Note: Users of an Authorisation by Customs Declaration should refer to Appendix 4: D.E. 2/2 Additional Information Statement Codes which may be required for the specific operation.

Appendix 4 gives more general information on the AI code that would then need to be tailored according to the specific circumstances in which it is being used, for example AI Code 00100 in Appendix 4A states:

AI Statement Code to be declared	Description and Usage of Code	Details to be entered on the declaration or clearance request	Import/Export/Both
00100	Authorisation by Customs Declaration only: Special Procedure Authorisation granted on the declaration at the time of entry to the procedure. Note: Users of an Authorisation by Customs Declaration should refer to Appendix 4: DE 2/2 Additional Information Statement Codes for other codes which may be required for the specific operation.	To place goods into the special procedure: Enter ‘Simplified authorisation’ or To discharge the special procedure: Enter ‘Discharge of Simplified Authorisation’.	Both

The list of AI codes given in Appendix 1 for each Procedure Code are not an exhaustive list, they are the mandatory codes without which the procedure cannot be used or those AI codes which are most likely to be required in order to clear the goods to that procedure.

Appendix 4 should still be reviewed to see if any extra AI codes are required. See Section CDSSG11050 for guidance on other drivers for AI codes.
