Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

Pre clearance cancellation procedure requires a request on Chief (XTCE). Post clearance application is usually by letter or email. When a request for a cancellation of an entry is received from an importer or agent prior to Clearance the following action is to be taken by Query:

• endorse all copies of the entry ‘cancelled’
• route the entry direct to Post-clearance for filing
• adjust any quota scheduling that has taken place.

Cancellation is not a suitable procedure for diversions to another port. For inventory traffic CPC 00 09 090 is used and for non -inventory a new clearance is issued for the port.
