Updated 9 January 2024

Known error workarounds may apply to this area of the instructions.

This Appendix contains the index list of Procedure Codes for Data Element 1/10 for CDS Inventory Exports Customs Clearance Requests (CCRs).

Use the index list below and the Procedure Codes completion notes to help you identify the correct code to use and for guidance on how to complete the Customs Clearance Request (CCR).

Notes:

C21e:

The DE 1/10 Procedure Codes in this appendix may only be used where no other Procedure Code specified in the Exports: guidance on completing an export declaration for the Customs Declaration Service applies.

The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the main CDS Customs Clearance Request Completion Instructions for Inventory Exports.

This Appendix only contains any additional completion notes for each C21e 4-digit Procedure Code and does not constitute full guidance on how the C21e Customs Clearance Request should be completed.

Only one 4-digit Procedure Code can be declared against each goods item in DE 1/10, however, this may be tailored to the specific circumstances for the goods treatment by the use of multiple Additional Procedure Codes in DE 1/11.

The C21e 4-digit Procedure Code is made up using the:

  • first and second digits 00 indicate a Customs Clearance Request
  • third and fourth digits will indicate the type of Customs Clearance Request being made, for example 06 indicates the request for the release of goods subject to the Transit procedure for imports

Procedure Code 0017, detailed in this inventory collection may only be used on a C21e for EIDR releases where:

  • the goods are being moved from one Member State to another and have already been released to a customs procedure in the UK via EIDR, SASP or centralised clearance or
  • the goods are being dispatched from the UK to another Special Fiscal Territory or territory with which the EU has formed a Customs Union and the goods have already been released to a customs procedure in the UK via EIDR, SASP or centralised clearance

The C21e should be completed to match the details recorded in the EIDR authorised parties’ records. A supplementary declaration must be completed and submitted in accordance with the normal rules unless a waiver applies.

These completion notes are supplemented by the DE 1/11 Additional Procedure Code Notes and therefore any instructions relating to the Additional Procedure Code (3-digit code for DE 1/11) are not included here and must be read in addition to this Appendix.

C21e EIDR NOP:

A C21e EIDR NOP is used to release goods at an inventory linked location. It also acts as the Notification of Presentation (NOP) under the EIDR process.

The Procedure Code used in Data Element DE 1/10 must be selected from the Appendix 1: DE 1/10: Requested and Previous Procedure Codes from the Exports: guidance on completing an export declaration for the Customs Declaration Service where they are being released direct to a customs procedure or use.

The C21e EIDR NOP 4-digit Procedure Code is made up using:

  • The first and second digits indicate the Requested Procedure: the customs procedure to which the goods are being entered
  • The third and fourth digits indicate the Previous Procedure: the customs procedure from which the goods are being removed. 00 as the third and fourth digits indicate that the goods have not been subject to any previous procedure

The C21e EIDR NOP data set should be used with the appropriate Procedure Code selected from Appendix 1: DE 1/10: Requested and Previous Procedure Codes from the Exports: guidance on completing an export declaration for the Customs Declaration Service.

A supplementary declaration must be completed and submitted in accordance with the normal rules unless a waiver applies.
