To be completed using the headings of the Combined Nomenclature.
Where the form is used for Union transit procedure purposes, the commodity code made up of at least the six digits of the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System shall be entered in this subdivision. However, where Union legislation so requires, the Combined Nomenclature heading shall be used.
To be completed in accordance with the Taric code (two characters for the application of specific Union measures in respect of formalities to be completed at destination).
To be completed in accordance with the Taric code (first additional code).
To be completed in accordance with the Taric code (second additional code).
Codes to be adopted by the Member States concerned.
Use the country codes entered in box 2.
Codes to be adopted by the Member States.
This box is for three-digit codes comprising a single-digit component from 1) and a two-digit component from 2).
The relevant codes are given below:
First digit of the code
Tariff arrangement erga omnes
Generalised System of Preferences (GSP)
Tariff preferences other than those mentioned under code 2
Customs duties under the provisions of customs union agreements concluded by the European Union
Next two digits
None of the following
Tariff suspension
Tariff suspension with specified end-use
Tariff suspension with certificate confirming the special nature of the product
Temporary suspension for products imported with a certificate of airworthiness
Tariff quota(4)
Tariff quota with specified end-use(4)
Tariff quota with certificate confirming the special nature of the product(4)
Tariff quota following outward processing(4)
Special end-use resulting from the Common Customs Tariff
Certificate confirming the special nature of the product
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 admission, 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 special procedure (inward processing, outward processing).
For example: re-export of goods imported under the customs inward processing procedure 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 inward processing in another Member State.
List of procedures for coding purposes
Two of these basic elements must be combined to produce a four-digit code.
This code is used to indicate that there is no previous procedure (a)
Free circulation of goods simultaneously redispatched in the context of trade between parts of the customs territory of the Union in which the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC 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.
Free circulation of goods simultaneously redispatched in the context of trade between the Union and the countries with which it has formed a customs union.
Example: Goods arriving from a third country, released for free circulation in France and sent on to the Channel Islands.
Free circulation of goods with a view to applying the inward processing procedure (drawback system). (a)
Explanation: Inward processing (drawback system) in accordance with Article 256 of the Code.
Free circulation with simultaneous placing of goods under a warehousing procedure other than a customs warehousing procedure.
Explanation: This code is to be used where the goods are released for free circulation but where VAT and possibly excise duties have not been paid.U.K.
Examples: Imported machines are released for free circulation but VAT has not been paid. While the goods are placed in a tax warehouse or approved area, payment of the VAT is suspended.U.K.
Imported cigarettes are released for free circulation but VAT and excise duties have not been paid. While the goods are stored in a tax warehouse or approved area, payment of the VAT and excise duties is suspended.
Permanent export.
Example: Normal export of Union goods to a third country, but also export of Union goods to parts of the customs territory of the Union to which the provisions of Council Directive 2006/112/EC do not apply (OJ L 347, 11.12.2006, p. 1).
Export of compensating products obtained from equivalent goods under the inward processing procedure before entering import goods for the procedure.
Explanation: Prior export (EX-IM) in accordance with Article 223(2)(c) of the Code.U.K.
Example: Export of cigarettes manufactured from Union tobacco leaves before placing of tobacco leaves from a third country under the inward processing procedure.U.K.
Temporary export under the outward processing procedure.
Example: Explanation: Outward processing procedure under Article 259 to 262 of the Code. See also code 22.
Temporary export other than that referred to under code 21.
Example: The simultaneous application to textile products of the outward processing procedure and the economic outward processing procedure (Council Regulation (EC) No 3036/94).
Temporary export for return in the unaltered state.
Example: Temporary export for exhibitions of articles such as samples, professional equipment, etc.
Re-export.

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.
the summary declaration, represented by ‘X’,
the initial declaration, represented by ‘Y’
the previous document, represented by ‘Z’,
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 182 of the Code). The date is coded as follows: yyyymmdd.
The identification number or another recognisable reference of the document is inserted here.
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).
