Box 2: Consignor/Exporter U.K.

Where identification numbers are used, the code takes the following form:

• On import: Country code (a2); code UN/EDIFACT 3055 (an..3); exporter's identification code (an..13)

• On export: Country code (a2); exporter's identification code (an..16)

Country code: The Community's alphabetical codes for countries and territories are based on the current ISO alpha 2 (a2) in so far as they are compatible with the requirements of Community law. The legal basis for these codes is Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Member States with non-member countries (OJ L 118, 25.5.1995). The Commission regularly publishes regulations updating the list of country codes.

UN/EDIFACT 3055: With regard to the coding of the operators in the third countries mentioned in boxes 2 and 8, Member States use a list issued and updated by an agency or another institution which defines the interested parties' codes. The selected agency will be identified in the list of the agencies published by the UN under the heading UN/EDIFACT 3055 (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport) which contains a list of the agencies responsible for the development of such lists of economic operators.

Example:‘JP1511234567890’ for a Japanese exporter (country code: JP) whose identification number with Japanese customs (agency code 151 in the list of codes for UN/EDIFACT data element 3055) is 1234567890. U.K.

Box 8: Consignee U.K.

Where identification numbers are used, the code takes the following form:

• On import: Country code (a2); consignee's identification code (an..16)

• On export: Country code (a2); code UN/EDIFACT 3055 (an..3); importer's identification code (an..13).

Use the country codes entered in box 2.

Example:‘JP1511234567890’ for a Japanese importer (country code: JP) whose identification number with Japanese customs (agency code 151 in the list of codes for UN/EDIFACT data element 3055) is 1234567890. U.K.

Box 37: Procedure U.K.

A. First subdivision U.K.

The codes to be entered in this subdivision are four-digit codes, composed of a two-digit code representing the procedure requested, followed by a second two-digit code representing the previous procedure. The list of two-digit codes is given below.

‘Previous procedure’ means the procedure under which the goods were placed before being placed under the procedure requested.

It should be noted that where the previous procedure is a warehousing procedure or temporary importation, or where the goods have come from a free zone, the relevant code should be used only where the goods have not been placed under a customs procedure with economic impact (inward processing, outward processing or processing under customs control).

For example: re-export of goods imported under the customs inward processing procedure (suspension system) and subsequently placed under the customs warehousing procedure = 3151 (not 3171). (First operation = 5100; second operation = 7151: re-export = 3151).

Similarly, where goods previously temporarily exported are re-imported, placing under one of the abovementioned suspensive procedures is to be regarded as simple importation under that procedure. Indication of the ‘re-importation’ aspect is to be given only when the goods are released for free circulation.

For example: entry for home use with simultaneous entry for free circulation of goods exported under the customs outward processing procedure and placed under a customs warehousing procedure on re-importation = 6121 (not 6171). (First operation: temporary export for outward processing = 2100; second operation: storage in customs warehouse = 7121; third operation: entry for home use + entry for free circulation = 6121).

The codes marked in the list below with the letter (a) cannot be used as the first two digits of the procedure code, but only to indicate the previous procedure.

For example: 4054 = entry for free circulation and home use of goods previously placed under the IP — suspension system in another Member State.

List of procedures for coding purposes

Two of these basic elements must be combined to produce a four-digit code.

00

This code is used to indicate that there is no previous procedure (a)

01

Free circulation of goods simultaneously redispatched in the context of trade between parts of the customs territory of the Community in which the provisions of Directive 77/388/EEC are applicable and parts of that territory in which these provisions do not apply, or in the context of trade between the parts of that territory where these provisions do not apply.

2.

Codes exclusively for national use must be composed of a numeric character followed by two alphanumeric characters according to that Member State's own nomenclature.

Box 40: Summary declaration/Previous document U.K.

This box is for alphanumeric (an..26) codes.

Each code has three components, which are separated by dashes (-). The first component (a1) consists of three different letters and is used to distinguish between the three categories mentioned below. The second component (an..3), which consists of a combination of digits and/or letters, serves to identify the type of document. The third component (an..20) represents the particulars needed to recognise the document, either its identification number or another recognisable reference.

1. The first component (a1): U.K.

• the summary declaration, represented by ‘X’,

• the initial declaration, represented by ‘Y’

• the previous document, represented by ‘Z’,

2. The second component (an..3): U.K.

Choose the abbreviation for the document from the ‘list of abbreviations for documents’.

This list includes the code ‘CLE’, which stands for ‘date and reference of the entry of the goods in the records’. (Article 76(1)(c) of the Code). The date is coded as follows: yyyymmdd.

3. The third component (an..20): U.K.

The identification number or another recognisable reference of the document is inserted here.

Examples:

• The previous document is a T1 transit document to which the office of destination has assigned the number ‘238544’. The code will therefore be ‘Z-821-238544’. (‘Z’ for previous document, ‘821’ for the transit procedure and ‘238544’ for the document's registration number (or the MRN for the NCTS operations))

• A cargo manifest bearing the number ‘2222’ is used as a summary declaration. The code will be ‘X-785-2222’. (‘X’ for the summary declaration, ‘785’ for the cargo manifest and ‘2222’ for the manifest's identification number).

• Goods were entered in the records on 14 February 2002. The code will therefore be ‘Y-CLE-20020214-5’ (‘Y’ to show there was an initial declaration, ‘CLE’ for ‘entry in the records’, ‘20020214’ for the date of entry, ‘2002’ being the year, ‘02’ the month, ‘14’ the day and ‘5’ for the reference of the entry in the records).

Box 43: Valuation method U.K.

The provisions used to determine the customs value of imported goods are to be coded as follows:

Code	Relevant Article of the Code	Method
1	29(1)	Transaction value of the imported goods
2	30(2)(a)	Transaction value of identical goods
3	30(2)(b)	Transaction value of similar goods

Box 44: Additional information/Documents produced/Certificates and authorisations U.K.

1. Additional information U.K.

A five-digit code is used to encode additional information of a customs nature. This code follows the additional information unless Community law provides for the code to be used in place of the text.

Example: U.K.

In a simplified export procedure, copy 3 must contain the information ‘simplified export procedure’. (Article 280(3). ‘Simplified exportation — 30100’ should therefore be entered in box 44. U.K.

Community law provides for certain additional information to be entered in boxes other than box 44. However, such additional information should be coded according to the same rules as the information to be specifically entered in box 44. Furthermore, where Community law fails to specify the box in which information is to be entered, that information is to be entered in box 44.

All types of additional information are listed at the end of this Annex.

Member States may provide for the use of national additional information provided that their codification presents a structure different to the codes for Community additional information.

2. Documents produced, certificates and authorisations U.K.

(b)

National documents, certificates and authorisations produced in support of the declaration must be entered in the form of a code composed of an numeric character followed by 3 alpha-numeric characters (Ex: 2123, 34d5), possibly followed either by an identification number or another recognisable reference. The four characters represent codes based on that Member State's own nomenclature.
