Business rules
Before starting an operation, the Products involved are declared when required. The determination on what Customs declaration(s) or records are required is based on implemented business rules. For each Transaction coming from ATLAS, the analysis and execution is made available to the user via a screen as included below (Transaction details). Here the User can see what happened from a Customs point of view and find information relating to the Results.
Business rules
In the example above, the Product received is of the Bonded Customs status, discharged into a Tank containing the same Product. Therefore, the result is Storage. The applicable business rule in this case reads as follows:
- The first condition relates to the assessment of the Customs procedure for the operation. In this example, all Parcels are of the same Commodity code AND have the same Quality group "High aromatic oils" not Bonded Product subject to CPM. Hence, the result for the Customs Procedure Operation is Storage;
- The Product declared is of the T1 - Bonded Customs status;
- It is the first time the product on board of the Vessel arrives at the Terminal. This is recognized by the System on the basis of the Parcel not having a Parent reference. In case a parcel has a Parent reference, that means the Parcel comes from another Parcel we have registered before and hence, it is not the first time arrival;
- The Activity type is a Movement.
For the Product on board of the Vessel, all of the above conditions required are met and hence the goods are declared for Customs warehouse via EIDR. As required in relation to the EIDR, a NoP is send.
For the Product in tank, the criteria of "First time arrival" is not met and hence, the business rule does not apply. In the above example, the Parcels have already undergone this process at an earlier stage and are currently under Customs warehouse already for the Bonded Parcels and Free warehouse for the non Bonded Parcels.
