SPE15080 - Duty management and closing stock balance systems: third party record keeping

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn. If there is anything within this manual you use regularly, please email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know. Please check the other guidance available on GOV.UK from HMRC.

Duty management systems may be operated by the customs warehouse authorisation holder or by a third party. When maintained by a third party the warehouse keeper must have full access to the duty management system records at all times, preferably view only access or by daily reporting of data relating to receipts, deliveries, adjustments, and balances. For further information regarding systems where some of the records are kept by a third party contact your authorising office.

Note: Northern Ireland (NI) customs authorisations will continue to fall within the provisions of the Union Customs Code (UCC), as retained by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 and CEMA 1979.
