SPE15555 - Co-storage: application for co-storage

Note: This manual is under review following Brexit and is likely to be withdrawn.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

In general a request for authorisation for co-storage will be made at the time of application on the SP2. The authorisation will then form an integral part of the authorisation letter.

If a warehouse keeper requires co-storage after a customs warehouse authorisation has already been granted an application must be made in writing to the supervising office. The application must include details of the goods to be stored including a full description, the status of the goods and how the goods can be identified.

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.
