# Incoming goods
Goods incoming can be accompanied by various customs transport documents that required specific handling and follow up. These procedures describe the various options and ways to handle.
# Introduction
The process of incoming goods can be summarized as follows:
Hence, from a physical point of view we have three flows in terms of incoming goods and goods receipt:
1. Goods receipt in Tank (Discharge);
2. Goods receipt in Means of Transport (MoT), with the (receiving) MoT leaving the Terminal / Buoy directly (Administrative take in of quantity or Board to board);
3. Goods receipt in Means of Transport (MoT), with the (receiving) MoT subsequently coming to the Terminal (Administrative take in of quantity or Board to board);
In more detail we have the various scenario's.
This results in three procedures, where the customs status is the main driver of what procedure to apply:
1. Receipt of Free - Domestic goods;
2. Receipt of AAD - Excise controlled goods;
3. Receipt of T1 - Bonded goods.
Within ATLAS any registration of a Parcel leads to a Parcel check that includes an indication of the Documents to expect (Expected documents). Please note this is merely informative and not conclusive.
# Receipt of Free-Domestic goods
For the receipt of Free-Domestic goods, no customs compliance requirements exist. However, when coming from open seas (to be recognized by the Means of Transport being a Vessel) there should be a proof of Customs status such as a T2L(F).
The customs status must be included in the Nomination. To verify whether or not the customs status Free - Domestic is correct, the documents should be verified on the mentioning of an EU load port being mentioned. If not, this means the customs status is incorrectly indicated and the customer should be consulted.
The Free - Domestic customs status versus the AAD - Excise controlled customs status, is driven by the type of goods. This is governed through the Product Database in CMS, where Products are marked as Excise controlled according to the applicable legislation. Should the User choose a customs status that is not in line with the Product database, CMS will give an error and will not proceed.
# Receipt of AAD - Excise controlled goods
The receipt of Excise controlled goods is typically under suspension of excise duties. Therefore, this process is governed by legislation and policies setting conditions for the Movements of these type of goods.
