CDSSG04340 - Navigating the Tariff, Step 3 - Finding which Procedure Codes can be used with a Declaration Category

Once the Movement Type and Declaration Category have been identified (see section CDSSG06000), a compatible Procedure Code needs to be selected.

Navigation Step 3 directs the user to the appropriate Appendix 1 for the movement type to find the necessary guidance within the UK Trade Tariff, CDS Volume 3 to enable the Procedure Code to be selected.

Step 4 of the Step-By-Step Guide (Section CDSSG09000) walks the user through the process necessary to select the Procedure Code.

  • Step 4: The 4-digit to 3-digit correlation matrix for the chosen Movement Type should then be used to see which Additional Procedure Codes are permitted for use with the chosen 4-digit Procedure Code

It is important that the correct version of Appendix 1 is used to ensure the code selected is compatible with the Movement Type and Declaration Category being used.

The first link within Appendix 1 of the UK Trade Tariff, CDS Volume 3 takes the user to an index list of Procedure Codes that may be used for that movement type.

Within the index list there is a table that specifies which Requested Procedures (first two digits of the Procedure Code) may be used for each Declaration Category.

If a Requested Procedure is not listed in the table against a particular Declaration Category it cannot be used with that type of declaration.
