Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn.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.

Warehouse keepers must report to the supervising office, all discrepancies between the declaration entering the goods to the customs warehouse procedure and the goods actually received at the warehouse. Once resolved an amendment of entry must be made, see Special Procedures generic guidance for further information. You should ensure that the authorisation specifically stipulates the method by which discrepancies (either over or under shipments) are investigated and resolved by the trader and the form and manner of notification agreed with the supervising 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.
