RECOMMENDATION OF THE CUSTOMS COOPERATION COUNCIL
of 16 June 1982
concerning the use of a code for the representation of modes of transport
THE CUSTOMS COOPERATION COUNCIL,
DESIRING
to facilitate the international exchange of data between Customs administrations and between Customs administrations and international trade users,
CONSIDERING
that it is desirable that an internationally agreed and universally applicable code should be used for the representation of modes of transport in such international data exchange,
HAVING REGARD
to recommendation No 19 adopted in March 1981 by the Working Party on Facilitation of International Trade Procedures of the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) which recommends the use of a one-digit numeric code structure for the representation of modes of transport for international trade purposes,
CONSIDERING
that the code structure contained in the abovementioned ECE recommendation provides a suitable basis for the representation of modes of transport in international data exchange,
RECOMMENDS
that States, whether or not Members of the Council, and Customs or Economic Unions should use the one-digit numeric code structure contained in the abovementioned ECE recommendation and future revised versions of this code for the representation of modes of transport in international data exchange between customs administrations and between customs administrations and international trade users whenever there is a need for a coded designation,
REQUESTS
States, whether or not Members of the Council, and Customs or Economic Unions which accept this recommendation to notify the Secretary-General of their acceptance, of the date from which they will apply the recommendation, and of the conditions of its application. The Secretary-General will transmit this information to the customs administrations of all Members. He will also transmit it to any customs administration of non-members or any Customs or Economic Unions which have accepted this recommendation.
Conditions of application
1.The recommendation shall be applicable in the Community from 1 January 1988.
2.Code No 6 (multimodal transport) will not be used by the Community, which does not recognize multimodal transport as a mode of transport per se.
3.Code No 9 (unknown) shall be used to cover transport effected by means of self-propulsion.
