Authorisation by Customs Declaration for non-commercial goods
Information on authorisation by Customs Declaration for non-commercial goods.
This is available only to private individuals who wish to import goods which have been processed or repaired in a third country. Users of this facility do not need to apply for authorisation prior to export. They apply for relief when they re-import the goods by entering them under the appropriate Procedure Code at re-import. Authorisation is granted by customs acceptance of the import declaration. This is the only exception to the rule that authorisation should be held, or applied for, before export of the goods for process or repair.
