TITLE VI U.K. GOODS LEAVING THE CUSTOMS TERRITORY OF THE COMMUNITY

[F1 CHAPTER 1 U.K. Exit summary declaration

[F2 Article 842a U.K.

1. Without prejudice to paragraphs 3 and 4, where bringing goods out of the customs territory of the Community does not require a customs declaration, the exit summary declaration shall be lodged at the customs office of exit.

2. For the purpose of this Chapter, the ‘ customs office of exit ’ shall be:

(a) the customs office competent for the place from where the goods will leave the customs territory of the Community; or

(b) where the goods are to leave the customs territory of the Community by air or sea, the customs office competent for the place where the goods are loaded onto the vessel or aircraft on which they will be brought to a destination outside the customs territory of the Community.

3. No exit summary declaration is required when an electronic transit declaration contains the exit summary declaration data provided the office of destination is also the customs office of exit or the office of destination is outside the customs territory of the Community.

4. An exit summary declaration shall not be required in the following cases:

(a) the exemptions listed in Article 592a;

(b) where goods are loaded at a port or airport in the customs territory of the Community for discharge at another Community port or airport, provided that, upon request, evidence in the form of a commercial, port or transport manifest or loading list is made available to the customs office of exit regarding the intended place of unloading. The same applies when the vessel or aircraft that transports the goods is to call at a port or airport outside the customs territory of the Community and those goods are to remain loaded on board the vessel or aircraft during the call at the port or airport outside the customs territory of the Community;

(c) where, in a port or airport, the goods are not unloaded from the means of transport which carried them into the customs territory of the Community and which will carry them out of that territory;

(d) where the goods were loaded at a previous port or airport in the customs territory of the Community and remain on the means of transport that will carry them out of the customs territory of the Community;

(e) where goods in temporary storage or in a control type I free zone are transhipped from the means of transport that brought them to that temporary storage facility or free zone under the supervision of the same customs office onto a vessel, airplane or railway that will carry them from that temporary storage facility or free zone out of customs territory of the Community, provided that:

(i)

the transhipment is undertaken within fourteen calendar days from when the goods were presented for temporary storage or at a control type I free zone; in exceptional circumstances, the customs authorities may extend this period of time in order to deal with those circumstances;

(ii)

information about the goods is available to the customs authorities; and

(iii)

the destination of the goods and the consignee do not change, to the knowledge of the carrier;

(f) where evidence that the goods to be brought out of the customs territory of the Community were already covered by a customs declaration with the exit summary declaration data is made available to the customs office of exit through either the data processing system of the temporary storage holder, the carrier or the port/airport operator, or through another commercial data processing system, provided it has been approved by the customs authorities.

Without prejudice to Article 842d(2), in the cases referred to in points (a) to (f), the customs controls shall take into account the special nature of the situation.

5. The exit summary declaration, where required, shall be lodged by the carrier. However, such declaration shall be lodged by the holder of the temporary storage facility or the holder of a storage facility in a control type I free zone, or any other person able to present the goods, where the carrier has been informed, and given its consent under a contractual arrangement, that the person referred to in the second sentence of this paragraph lodges the declaration. The customs office of exit may assume, except where there is evidence to the contrary, that the carrier has given its consent under a contractual arrangement and that the declaration has been lodged with its knowledge.

The last subparagraph of Article 796d(1) shall apply with regard to the definition of the carrier.

6. In cases where, following the lodgement of an exit summary declaration, the goods are no longer destined to be brought out of the customs territory of the Community, Article 796 d(4) shall apply mutatis mutandis .]
