COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 502/1999

of 12 February 1999

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to the Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code ( 1 ), as last amended by European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 82/97 ( 2 ), and in particular Article 249 thereof,

(1)	Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 ( 3 ), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 46/1999 ( 4 ), lays down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92;

(2)	Whereas difficulties during recent years throughout the transit procedures have caused, and continue to cause, significant losses for the budgets of the Member States and Community's own resources and represent a permanent threat to European trade and economic operators;

(3)	Whereas modernisation of transit procedures is therefore considered to be necessary and their computerisation represents a significant element in modernisation;

(4)

Whereas a Council resolution with regard to the computerisation of customs transit was adopted by the Internal Market Council, at its meeting on 23 November 1995 ( 5 ) the need for computerisation was recognised in Decision No 210/97/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 1996 adopting an action programme for customs in the Community (Customs 2000) ( 6 );

(5)	Whereas computerisation was further recommended by the European Parliament's Temporary Committee of Inquiry into the Community Transit System ( 7 ). and by the Commission in its action plan for transit in Europe ( 8 );

(6)	Whereas the introduction of new computerised procedures based on the use of modern information technology and electronic data interchange (EDI) requires the adaptation of legal provisions to answer the procedural, technical, security-linked and legal certainty needs;

(7)	Whereas the implementation of technical, procedural and physical security measures is of vital importance to achieve and maintain a reliable and secure operation of computerised transit system;

(8)	Whereas the European Parliament and Council have adopted on 24 October 1995 Directive 95/46/EC ( 9 ) on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data;

(9)	Whereas, the implementation of a new computerised transit system in different functional phases requires a legal framework to be established according to this development;

(10)	Whereas the measures provided for by this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

EXPLANATORY NOTE CONCERNING THE MESSAGES PRESENTED IN ANNEX 37b AND RULES AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO THE MESSAGE DATA

TITLE I

Introduction

This Title describes the structure of the IE (information exchange), i.e. the model used to describe the content of the information to be exchanged between the competent authorities and between economic operators and the competent authorities using information technology and computer networks.

In this model, IEs are organised into data groups which contain data (attributes). The data (attributes) are grouped together in such a way that they build up coherent logical blocks within the scope of each IE.

The model allows to identify:

— the characteristics of the data groups belonging to the IE: sequence, number of repetitions, a status value to indicate if the data group is mandatory, optional or conditional,

— the characteristics of the data belonging to a data group: sequence, number of repetitions, type, length and a value to indicate if the data is mandatory, optional or conditional,

— data group indentation indicates that the data group may contain not only data but also other groups of data,

— the conditions applicable to data or groups of data towards other data or groups of data in the same IE,

— the structure rules applicable to data or groups of data, explaining how the data or data group in question is used in the IE.

Structure of the IE (information exchange)

TITLE II

Rules for IE (information exchange)

r5 : “Item No” (box 32) is always used even if “Items” (box 5) = “1”, “Item No” (box 32) is also “1”.

r7 : Each “Item No” (box 32) is unique throughout the declaration.

r10 : When there is only 1 consignor declared, the data group “TRADER consignor (box 2)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The data group “TRADER consignor (ex box 2)” on GOODS ITEM level can/not be used.

r11 : When there is only 1 consignee declared, the data group “TRADER consignee (box 8)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The data group “TRADER consignee (ex box 8)” on GOODS ITEM level cannot be used.

r15 : The data group “TRADER authorised consignee (box 53)” can be used to indicate that simplified procedure will be used at destination.

r20 : When the declaration type (box 1 or ex box 1) = “T2” and the movement is issued in a non-EC country (identified by the office of departure), the principal must declare at least one “Previous document type” (box 40) = “T2”, “T2L”, “T2F”, “T2LF”, “T2CIM”, “T2TIR” or “T2ATA” followed by its reference in “Previous document reference”.

r26 : One of the attributes becomes required in case “PRODUCED. DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES” (box 44) is used.

r27 : Either “Additional information identification” or “Text” of the data group “SPECIAL MENTIONS” (box 44) is required in case “SPECIAL MENTIONS” is used.

r35 : Conditions “C5” and “C6” cannot be checked in case box 26 is not used.

r36 : Condition “C10” cannot be checked in case box 25 is not used.

r41 : “Agreed location of goods”/“Agreed location code”, “Authorised location of goods” and “Customs subplace” (box 30) cannot be used at the same time.

r60 : When the trader uses commodity codes then he must declare at least four and up to eight digits of the commodity code.

r75 : “Export from EC” and “Export from country” cannot be used at the same time.

r79 : Only PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS and PRODUCED DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES that are marked as “Common” in the reference data “DOCUMENT TYPE” will be sent to destination by means of the IE01.

r80 : Only the SPECIAL MENTIONS that are marked as “Common” in the reference data will be sent to destination by means of the IE01.

r95 :

When box 3 is not used and there is more than one good item declared then “Number of loading lists” (box 4) is required.

This attribute is to be used when paper loading lists are present.

In case of paper loading lists the following rules are applied:

— the required attribute “Country of dispatch” (box 15a) of the data group TRANSIT OPERATION is set to “--”

— there is only 1 occurrence of the data group GOODS ITEM, and where necessary the subdata groups PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE REFERENCES, PRODUCED DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES and SPECIAL MENTIONS. All the other subdata groups of GOODS ITEM cannot be used,

— the attribute “Textual description” (box 31) contains references to the attached loading lists, “Textual_description_LNG” contains the language code used for those references.

— The content of the references can be:

—

for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T1” : “See loading list(s)”,

for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T2” : “See loading list(s)”,

for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T-” :

“T1: See loading list(s) from ... to ...”,

“T2: See loading list(s) from ... to ...”,

—

— the attribute “Item number” (box 32) is filled in with “--”

— all the other attributes of the data group GOODS ITEM cannot be used.

r100 : The attribute is used as the basic language to be used in any further communication between the trader at departure and the customs system. If the trader does not use this attribute then the customs system will use the default language of the office of departure.

r105 : The total number of packages is equal to the sum of all “Number of packages” + all “Number of pieces” + a value of “1” for each declared “bulk”. This control is not possible when “Number of loading lists” (box 4) is used.

r143 : The data in the IE corresponds always to the current (latest) version of the TRANSIT operation data. This means that it contains the amended declaration data (if any) and/or the revised declaration data after a control (if any) and completed with the departure control results.

r150 : The attribute “Corrected value” of the data group “RESULTS OF CONTROL” is linked with each single attribute that can be subject of a control and therefore it must reflect the same characteristics of the original message attribute.

r155 : The data group SGI CODES must be present in case the declaration contains sensitive goods.

r156 :

A “Sensitive quantity” is always required when the movement contains sensitive goods (see also rule 155).

The “Sensitive goods code” is not always required when the movement contains sensitive goods. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is enough to uniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code” is not required. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is not enough to uniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code” becomes required.

r160 : The data group CONTROL RESULTS must be present in case the declaration is submitted under simplified procedure.

r165 : The data group SEALS INFO must be present in case the declaration is submitted under simplified procedure, the authorisation of which foresees the use of seals.

r190 : Either “New transport means identity” and “New transport means nationality” or “New container number”, or both must be used when “TRANSHIPMENT” occurred.

r210 : The IE transmits to the office of departure the relevant AAR information received from the office of departure associating to each single attribute, when the case occurs, the data group “RESULTS OF CONTROL”

r217 : All “Incidents” occurred are transmitted to the office of departure. Only those “Transhipments” marked “not yet sent” (i. e. flag “Already in the system” in a message of arrival notification or a new box created for this purpose on the TRANSIT ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT) are transmitted to the office of departure.

r230 : This attribute is used as a flag, its value can be either “0” (“no”) or “1” (“yes”).

r231 : The value of this attribute must be one of the 22 countries for transit without the 15 countries of the EC.

r325 : When there are already seals identified in the AAR and/or arrival notification then “State of seals” is required.

r355 : Only “GOODS ITEMS” showing discrepancies are sent back to the office of departure.

r470 : The IE15 allows the usage of commodity codes up to eight digits (national), however only the first six digits are sent to destination with the AAR (international).

r700 : This information is not required when goods of different type covered by the same declaration are packed together in such a way that it is impossible to determine the gross mass of each type of goods.

Chapter I

Specimen of the transit accompanying document

Chapter II

Explanatory notes and particulars (data) for the transit accompanying document (Acc Doc)

The transit accompanying document shall be printed based on data derived from the final version of the transit declaration (as amended by the trader and/or revised by the customs) and completed with:

— MRN (movement reference number) as presented in Annex 37 b, Title II,

— box 3:

—

— first subdivision: serial number of the current printed sheet,

— second subdivision: total number or sheets printed, (including list of items),

— shall not be used when only one item,

— in the space to the right of box 8: name and address of the customs office to which the return copy of the transit accompanying document has to be returned,

— box 53: a mark (asterisk) to identify that the movement shall not be diverted to another office of destination,

— box C:

—

— the name of the office of departure,

— reference number of the office of departure,

— acceptance date of the transit declaration,

— the name and the authorisation number of the authorised consignor (if any),

— box D:

—

— control results,

— the indication “Diversion prohibited”, where appropriate,

— the indication “Binding itinerary”, where appropriate.

The following possibilities exist for the printing of the transit accompanying document:

1. the declared office of destination is linked to the computerised transit system and no loading lists are used:

— print only copy A (Acc Doc);

2. the declared office of destination is linked to the computerised transit system and loading lists are used:

— print copy A (Acc Doc), and

— print copy B (Return copy);

3. the declared office of destination is not linked to the computerised transit system (either where loading lists are used or not):

— print copy A (Acc Doc), and

— print copy B (Return copy).

The following possibilities exist for the return of the control results from the office of destination:

1. the actual office of destination is the declared one and it is linked to the computerised transit system:

— the control results shall be sent to the office of departure by electronic means (IE 18) if loading lists are not used,

— the control results shall be sent to the office of departure using return copy B of the transit accompanying document (including loading lists) if loading lists are used;

2. the actual office of destination is the declared one and it is not linked to the computerised transit system:

— the control results shall be sent to the office of departure using return copy B of the transit accompanying document (including loading lists or list of items, if any) whether loading lists are used or not;

3. the declared office of destination is linked to the computerised transit system but the actual office of destination is not linked to the computerised transit system (diversion):

— the control results shall be sent to the office of departure using a photocopy of the transit accompanying document, copy A (including list of items, if any) where loading lists are not used,

— the control results shall be sent of the office of departure using return copy B of the transit accompanying document (including the loading lists) where loading lists are used;

4. the declared office of destination is not linked to the computerised transit system but the actual office of destination is linked to the computerised transit system (diversion):

— the control results shall be sent to the office of departure by electronic means (IE 18) where loading lists are not used,

— the control results shall be sent to the office of departure using return copy B of the transit accompanying document (including loading lists) where loading lists are used.

When paper loading lists are used the transit accompanying document copies A and B shall be printed from the system. In this case the following data shall be inserted:

— indication of the total number of loading lists (box 4) instead of the total number of list of items (box 3),

— the box “Description of goods” (box 31) shall only contain:

—

— if goods T1 or T2: “See loading lists”

— if goods T1 and T2:

—

— “Goods T1: “see loading lists No … to …””

— “Goods T2: “see loading lists No … to …””,

— the box “Additional information” shall also be printed.

All other information specific to goods at items level shall appear on the corresponding loading lists that shall be attached to the transit accompanying document.’
