Guidance

Requested Procedure 53: Entry to Temporary Admission

Updated 5 April 2024

This Appendix contains the specific completion rules instructions for the 53-series Procedure Codes for Data Element (DE) 1/10 for Imports.

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 declaration.

This Appendix includes Procedure Codes:

5300
5351
5353
5354
5371
5378

Notes:

The importer (declared in DE 3/15 or DE 3/16) must be the authorisation holder for Temporary Admission (TA). The authorisation holder must also be the user of the goods unless an exemption is allowed for the specific Additional Procedure Code (DE 1/11). This will be indicated by the inclusion of a GEN Additional Information (AI) Statement Code in DE 2/2 (Additional Information). The appropriate GEN Code must be declared on the declaration according to the type of authorisation held (full or Authorisation by Customs Declaration).

The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the main Customs Declaration Service (CDS) Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports.

This Appendix only contains any additional completion notes for each 4-digit Procedure Code and does not constitute full guidance on how the declaration 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.

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.

When using a 53 series procedure code, one of the DE 1/11 codes from the range D01-D13, D15-D30 or D51 must be declared. See the notes for each procedure code to determine which Additional Procedure Codes are permitted to be used with it.

General declaration completion notes

Where information may be entered at Header or Item level:

  • It may only be entered at header level where it applies equally to every goods item
  • Information must be entered at item level where it differs for even a single goods item
  • It must be entered at item level where it would result in an incorrect duty calculation if only entered at header level, for example, a proportional reduction in air freight charges by gross weight.

However, please note that while DE 3/39, 8/2 and 8/3 are header level only data elements, they do not have to apply equally to all items on a declaration.

5300:

These completion notes should be read in conjunction with the main CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports. These are additional notes on specific declaration data elements in relation to this procedure code and do not constitute full guidance on how the declaration should be completed.

Description of procedure:

The use of this procedure code is a declaration by the importer that the conditions laid down in Council Regulation (EU) No. 952/2013, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2446 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 2015/2447 are met.

Entry of goods to Temporary Admission (TA) (Article 250 EU Reg. No. 952/2013 (UCC)), where the goods have not been subject to any previous procedure.

Conditions for use:

This Procedure Code is used to claim a full or partial suspension from customs duty (and where applicable excise duty and VAT) for goods entered to TA, where the goods have not been subject to any previous procedure.

A Temporary Admission (TA) authorisation is needed to use this customs procedure. This may be pre-approved (single member state or multi-state) or declaration specific (Authorisation by Customs Declaration), see conditions and requirements detailed in Pay less or no duty on goods you store, repair, process or temporarily use.

These notes must be read in conjunction with the appropriate completion notes for the Additional Procedure Codes used on the declaration (DE 1/11).

Restrictions on usage:

Evidence of eligibility for customs duty relief under the TA procedure must be held.

The use of this procedure is subject to a full authorisation (single member state or multi-state), or an Authorisation by Customs Declaration being held for TA.

Where the additional declaration type used in DE 1/2 is: C, F, J, K, Y or Z, authorisation to use the Simplified Declaration Procedures (SDP) or Entry in Declarant’s Records (EIDR) must also be held.

Additional declaration type (DE 1/2): C, F, J, K, Y or Z cannot be used where Authorisation by Customs Declaration is being claimed on this declaration. AI codes ABDIN and 00100 in DE 2/2 may only be used with code A or D in DE 1/2.

SDP and EIDR cannot be used to declare controlled drugs or controlled goods under this Procedure Code

Authorisation by Customs Declaration may only be claimed where the entry to and discharge of the special procedure occurs within the same Member State.
