This Appendix contains the index list and specific completion instructions for each 4-digit Procedure Code that can be used in Data Element 1/10 for Bulk Import Reduced Data Set (BIRDS) and CDS Inventory Imports Customs Clearance Requests (CCRs).
Use the index list below and the Procedure Code completion notes to help you identify the correct code to use and for guidance on how to complete the BIRDS declaration or CCR.
Notes:
The DE 1/10 Procedure Codes in this appendix may only be used where no other Procedure Code specified in the CDS Declaration Instructions for Imports collection applies.
The Procedure Codes listed in this appendix are not valid for use on a C21i EIDR NOP. Procedure Codes from the CDS Declaration Instructions for Imports collection must be used instead.
The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the main CDS BIRDS Declarations and Customs Clearance Request completion instructions for inventory imports.
This Appendix only contains any unique completion notes for each BIRDS and C21i 4-digit Procedure Code and does not constitute full guidance on how the BIRDS declaration or C21i CCR 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.
