[F4Chapter II U.K. Explanatory notes and particulars (data) for the Transit Accompanying Document

The paper to be used for the Transit Accompanying Document can be of green colour.

The transit accompanying document shall be printed on the basis of the data derived from the transit declaration, where appropriate amended by the principal and/or verified by the office of departure, and completed with:

1.

MRN (movement reference number)

The information is given alphanumerically with 18 digits on the following specimen:

Field Content Field type Examples
1 Last two digits of year of formal acceptance of transit movement (YY) Numeric 2 97
2 Identifier of the country from which movement originates (ISO alpha 2 country code) Alphabetic 2 IT
3 Unique identifier for transit movement per year and country Alphanumeric 13 9876AB8890123
4 Check digit Alphanumeric 1 5

Field 1 and 2 as explained above.

Field 3 has to be filled in with an identifier for the transit transaction. The way that field is used is under the responsibility of National Administrations but each transit transaction handled during one year within the given country must have a unique number.

National Administrations that want to have the office reference number of the customs authorities included in the MRN, could use up to the first 6 characters to insert the national number of the office.

Field 4 has to be filled with a value that is a check digit for the whole MRN. This field allows for the detection of an error when capturing the whole MRN.

The MRN shall also be printed in bar code mode using the standard code 128 , character set B .

2.

Box 3:

  • first subdivision: serial number of the current printed sheet,

  • second subdivision: total number of sheets printed (incl. list of items),

  • shall not be used when there is only one item.

4.

Box C:

  • the name of the office of departure,

  • reference number of the office of departure,

  • acceptance date of the transit declaration,

  • the name and the authorisation number of the authorised consignor (if any).

5.

Box D:

  • control results,

  • seals affixed or the indication - - identifying the Waiver — 99201 ,

  • the indication Binding itinerary , where appropriate.

The transit accompanying document shall not be modified nor shall any addition or deletion be made thereto unless otherwise specified in this Regulation.

6.

Formalities en route

Between the time when the goods leave the office of departure and the time they arrive at the office of destination, certain details may have to be added on the transit accompanying document accompanying the goods. The details relate to the transport operation and must be entered by the carrier responsible for the means of transport on which the goods are loaded as and when the corresponding activities are carried out. The particulars may be added legibly by hand, in which case the entries should be made in ink and in block letters.

Carriers are reminded that goods can be transhipped only under an authorisation of the customs authorities of the country in whose territory the transhipment is to be made.

Where those authorities consider that the Community transit operation concerned may continue in the normal way they shall, once they have taken any steps that may be necessary, endorse the transit accompanying documents.

The customs authorities at the office of transit or office of destination, as the case may be, have the obligation to incorporate into the system the added data on the transit accompanying document. The data can also be incorporated by the authorised consignee.

The boxes and activities involved are:

  • Transhipment: use box 55.

Box 55: Transhipment

The carrier must complete the first three lines of this box when goods are transhipped from one means of transport to another or from one container to another in the course of the operation in question.

However, where goods are carried in containers that are to be transported by road vehicles, customs authorities may authorise the principal to leave box 18 blank where the logistical pattern at the point of departure may prevent the identity and nationality of the means of transport from being provided at the time of establishment of the transit declaration, and where they can ensure that the proper information concerning the means of transport shall be subsequently entered in box 55.

  • Other incidents: use box 56.

Box 56: Other incidents during carriage

Box to be completed in accordance with current obligations regarding transit.

In addition, where goods have been loaded on a semi-trailer and the tractor is changed during the journey (without the goods being handled or transhipped), enter in this box the registration number and nationality of the new tractor. In this case, endorsement by the competent authorities is not necessary.] ]
