HMAG60510 - Excise Movement and Control System: risks associated with the use of EMCS and fallback procedures: risks in EMCS procedures

The use of EMCS requires the UK consignor to submit a draft eAD and receive an ARC from HMRC before the goods leave his premises.

Risks include:

  • False declaration - whether the draft eAD is submitted via the portal or third party software, the fields (whether marked R-Required, C-Conditional, O-Optional or D-Dependant) must be completed accurately.

  • Poor IT system - regular failure means greater use of the fallback procedures and their associated risks. If traders are having repeated problems with their third party provider software system, use of the HMRC Portal as an alternative should be encouraged rather than fallback procedures (see HMAG60520).
