Box 37: Procedure
First subdivision
The codes to be entered in this subdivision are four-digit codes, composed of a two-digit code representing the procedure requested, followed by a second two-digit code representing the previous procedure. The list of two-digit codes is given below.
‘Previous procedure’ means the procedure under which the goods were placed before being placed under the procedure requested.
It should be noted that where the previous procedure is a warehousing procedure or temporary admission, or where the goods have come from a free zone, the relevant code should be used only where the goods have not been placed under a special procedure (inward processing, outward processing ).
For example: re-export of goods imported under the customs inward processing procedure and subsequently placed under the customs warehousing procedure = 3151 (not 3171). (First operation = 5100; second operation = 7151: re-export = 3151).
Similarly, where goods previously temporarily exported are re-imported, placing under one of the abovementioned suspensive procedures is to be regarded as simple importation under that procedure. Indication of the ‘re- importation’ aspect is to be given only when the goods are released for free circulation.
For example: entry for home use with simultaneous entry for free circulation of goods exported under the customs outward processing procedure and placed under a customs warehousing procedure on re-importation = 6121 (not 6171). (First operation: temporary export for outward processing = 2100; second operation: storage in customs warehouse = 7121; third operation: entry for home use + entry for free circulation = 6121).
The codes marked in the list below with the letter (a) cannot be used as the first two digits of the procedure code, but only to indicate the previous procedure.
For example: 4054 = entry for free circulation and home use of goods previously placed under the inward processing in another Member State.
List of procedures for coding purposes
Two of these basic elements must be combined to produce a four-digit code.
00 This code is used to indicate that there is no previous procedure (a)
01 Free circulation of goods simultaneously redispatched in the context of trade between parts of the customs territory of the Union in which the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC are applicable and parts of that territory in which these provisions do not apply, or in the context of trade between the parts of that territory where these provisions do not apply.
Free circulation of goods simultaneously redispatched in the context of trade between the Union and the countries with which it has formed a customs union.
Example: Goods arriving from a third country, released for free circulation in France and sent on to the Channel Islands.
02 Free circulation of goods with a view to applying the inward processing procedure (drawback system). Explanation: Inward processing (drawback system) in accordance with Article 256 of the Code.
07 Free circulation with simultaneous placing of goods under a warehousing procedure other than a customs warehousing procedure.
Explanation: This code is to be used where the goods are released for free circulation but where VAT and possibly excise duties have not been paid.
Examples: Imported machines are released for free circulation but VAT has not been paid. While the goods are placed in a tax warehouse or approved area, payment of the VAT is suspended.
Imported cigarettes are released for free circulation but VAT and excise duties have not been paid. While the goods are stored in a tax warehouse or approved area, payment of the VAT and excise duties is suspended.
10 Permanent export.
Example: Normal export of Union goods to a third country, but also export of Union goods to parts of the customs territory of the Union to which the provisions of Council Directive 2006/112/EC do not apply (OJ L 347, 11.12.2006, p. 1).
11 Export of compensating products obtained from equivalent goods under the inward processing procedure before entering import goods for the procedure.
Explanation: Prior export (EX-IM) in accordance with Article 223(2)(c) of the Code .
Example: Export of cigarettes manufactured from Union tobacco leaves before placing of tobacco leaves from a third country under the inward processing procedure.
21 Temporary export under the outward processing procedure.
Example: Explanation: Outward processing procedure under Article 259 to 262 of the Code. See also code 22.
22 Temporary export other than that referred to under code 21.
Example: The simultaneous application to textile products of the outward processing procedure and the economic outward processing procedure (Council Regulation (EC) No 3036/94).
23 Temporary export for return in the unaltered state.
Example: Temporary export for exhibitions of articles such as samples, professional equipment, etc.
31 Re-export.
Explanation: Re-export of non-Union goods following a suspensive arrangement.
Example: Goods are placed under a customs warehousing procedure and subsequently declared for reexport.
40 Simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods which are not the subject of a VAT- exempt supply.
Example: Goods coming from a third country with payment of the customs duties and VAT.
41 Simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods placed under the inward processing procedure (drawback system).
Example: Inward processing procedure with payment of customs duties and national taxes on import.
42 Simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State and, when applicable, an excise duty suspension.
Explanation: Exemption from payment of VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty suspension, is granted because the import is followed by an intra-Union supply or transfer of the goods to another Member State. In that case, the VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty will be due in the Member State of final destination. In order to use this procedure, the persons must meet the conditions listed in Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC and, where applicable, the conditions listed in Article 17(1)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC.
Example 1: Import of goods with exemption from VAT through a tax representative.
Example 2: Excise goods imported from a third country, which are released for free circulation and are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State. The release for free circulation is immediately followed by a movement under excise duty suspension from the place of importation initiated by a registered consignor in accordance with Article 17(1)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC.
43 Simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods subject to specific measures connected with the collection of an amount during the transitional period following the accession of new Member States.
Example: Release for free circulation of agricultural products subject, during a special transitional period following the accession of new Member States, to a special customs procedure or special measures between the new Member States and the rest of the Union of the kind applied in their time to ES and PT.
45 Release of goods for free circulation and home use for either VAT or excise duties and their placing under the tax warehouse procedure.
Explanation: VAT or excise exemption by placing the goods under a fiscal warehouse procedure.
Examples: Cigarettes imported from a third country are released for free circulation and VAT has been paid. While the goods are in the tax warehouse or approved area, the payment of excise duties is suspended.
Cigarettes imported from a third country are released for free circulation and excise duties are paid. While the goods are in the tax warehouse or approved area the payment of VAT is suspended.
48 Entry for home use with simultaneous release for free circulation of replacement goods under the customs outward processing procedure prior to the export of the temporary export goods.
Explanation: Standard exchange system (IM-EX), prior importation in accordance with Article 262(1) of the Code.
49 Entry for home use of Union goods in the context of trade between parts of the customs territory of the Union in which the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC are applicable and parts of that territory in which those provisions do not apply, or in the context of trade between the parts of that territory where these provisions do not apply.
Entry for home use of goods in the context of trade between the Union and the countries with which it has formed a customs union.
Explanation: Import with entry for home use of goods from parts of the Union to which the Directive 2006/112/EC does not apply. The use of the customs declaration is laid down in Article 134 of [Delegated Regulation (ELT) 2015/… supplementing Regulation (ELT) No 952/2013].
Examples: Goods arriving from Martinique and entered for home use in Belgium.
Goods coming from Andorra and entered for home use in Germany.

Explanation: Inward processing in accordance with Article 256 of the Code.
53 Import under temporary admission procedure.
Example: Temporary admission, e.g. for an exhibition.
54 Inward processing in another Member State (without their being released for free circulation in that Member State).(a)
Explanation: This code is used to record the operation for the purposes of statistics on intra-Union trade.
Example: Goods from a third country are placed under inward processing in Belgium (5100). After undergoing inward processing, they are dispatched to Germany for release for free circulation (4054) or further processing (5154).
61 Re-importation with simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods which are not the subject of a VAT-exempt supply.
63 Reimportation with simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State and, when applicable, an excise duty suspension.
Explanation: Exemption from payment of VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty suspension, is granted because the reimportation is followed by an intra-Union supply or transfer of the goods to another Member State. In such a case, the VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty, will be due in the Member State of final destination. In order to use this procedure, the persons must meet the conditions listed in Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC and, where applicable, the conditions listed in Article 17(1)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC.
Example 1: Reimportation after outward processing or temporary export, with any VAT debt being charged to a tax representative.
Example 2: Excise goods reimported after outward processing and released for free circulation, which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State. The release for free circulation is immediately followed by a movement under excise duty suspension from the place of reimportation initiated by a registered consignor in accordance with Article 17(1)(b) of Directive 2008/118/EC.
68 Re-importation with partial entry for home use and simultaneous entry for free circulation and placing of goods under a warehousing procedure other than a customs warehousing procedure.
Example: Processed alcoholic beverages are re-imported and placed in an excise warehouse.
71 Placing of goods under the customs warehousing procedure.
Explanation: Placing of goods under the customs warehousing procedure. This in no way precludes the simultaneous placement of goods in, say, an excise or VAT warehouse.

Box 40: Summary declaration/Previous document
This box is for alphanumeric codes.
Each code has three components, which are separated by dashes (-). The first component (a1) consists of three different letters and is used to distinguish between the three categories mentioned below. The second component (an..3), which consists of a combination of digits and/or letters, serves to identify the type of document. The third component (an..20) represents the particulars needed to recognise the document, either its identification number or another recognisable reference.
The first component:
the summary declaration, represented by ‘X’,
the initial declaration, represented by ‘Y’
the previous document, represented by ‘Z’,
The second component (an..3):
Choose the abbreviation for the document from the ‘list of abbreviations for documents’.
This list includes the code ‘CLE’, which stands for ‘date and reference of the entry of the goods in the records’. (Article 182 of the Code). The date is coded as follows: yyyymmdd.
The third component (an..20):
The identification number or another recognisable reference of the document is inserted here.
Examples:
— The previous document is a T1 transit document to which the office of destination has assigned the number ‘238544’. The code will therefore be ‘Z-821-238544’. (‘Z’ for previous document, ‘821’ for the transit procedure and ‘238544’ for the document’s registration number (or the MRN for the NCTS operations)).
— A cargo manifest bearing the number ‘2222’ is used as a summary declaration. The code will be ‘X-785- 2222’. (‘X’ for the summary declaration, ‘785’ for the cargo manifest and ‘2222’ for the manifest’s identification number).
— Goods were entered in the records on 14 February 2002. The code will therefore be ‘Y-CLE-20020214-5’ (‘Y’ to show there was an initial declaration, ‘CLE’ for ‘entry in the records’, ‘20020214’ for the date of entry, ‘2002’ being the year, ‘02’ the month, ‘14’ the day and ‘5’ for the reference of the entry in the records).

6 Article 74(3) of the Code Value based on the data available (‘fallback’ method)
Box 44: Additional information/Documents produced/Certificates and authorisations
Additional information
A five-digit code is used to encode additional information of a customs nature. This code follows the additional information unless Union law provides for the code to be used in place of the text.
Example:
The declarant enters code 00300 in box 2 to indicate that there is identity between the declarant and the consignor.
Union law provides for certain additional information to be entered in boxes other than box 44. However, such additional information should be coded according to the same rules as the information to be specifically entered in box 44. Furthermore, where Union law fails to specify the box in which information is to be entered, that information is to be entered in box 44.
All types of additional information are listed at the end of this title.
Member States may provide for the use of national additional information provided that their codification presents a structure different to the codes for Union additional information.
Documents produced, certificates and authorisations
(a) Documents, certificates and Union or international authorisations or other references produced in support of the declaration must be entered in the form of a code composed of 4 alpha-numeric characters, and, where applicable, followed either by an identification number or another recognisable reference. The list of documents, certificates, authorisations and other references and their respective codes can be found in the TARIC database.
(b) National documents, certificates and authorisations produced in support of the declaration must be entered in the form of a code composed of an numeric character followed by 3 alpha-numeric characters (Ex: 2123, 34d5), possibly followed either by an identification number or another recognisable reference. The four characters represent codes based on that Member State’s own nomenclature.
