2nd November, 2022
For goods being declared under the EU-UK Free Trade Agreement, the customs declaration to CDS should be completed using the codes in place pre-1 November 2022 and until further notice. If your declaration has been pre-lodged, on arrival you must ensure it has been completed as follows:
Data Element (DE) - What you must include
DE 2/3 - Must include one of the following codes, as appropriate:
DE 4/17 - Must include a preference code in the 300 series.
DE 5/16 - Must be completed with the country of preferential origin
If your declarations contain the correct codes as listed above, you may now include the declaration references within your Goods Movement Reference (GMR) for future movements instead of creating a declaration by conduct GMR. This will allow the automatic arrival of the declarations.
This is a no obligation initial step to review your Customs-IT membership.
