Customs declarations or records

The outcome of the business rules define what customs declarations are lodged or what records are recorded. In terms of declarations for the application of customs procedures, the main rule is that declarations are done by means of EIDR. Exceptions to this main rule are:

  1. Export declarations (B1 and B4). These are done via the normal procedure; and
  2. In case preferred or required by law the Import declaration (H1).

Simplified Declarations (I1)
Any declaration for the application of customs procedures, excluding Export, is done simplified, regardless of the way the declaration is done (i.e. via EIDR or normal procedure). Inherent to the nature of our business is that at the moment of declaring the goods, only planned quantities are known. 

Supplementary Declarations (H.)
Any simplified declaration goes into our supplementary declaration process after entry into the record. Once the quantities are measured and final, ATLAS sends through the ACTUAL figures, and the supplementary declaration is created. The supplementary declarations for Inward processing and Release for Free Circulation are automatically sent in within 10 days after the entry. Below an example of the Processed Supplementary Declaration page:

All Declarations are available content wise from the Transaction Details page, the Declaration overview Page and the Supplementary declaration page. This includes an overview of the messaging and options for a User to utilize with regards to the specific Declaration. Below an example of the part of the Transaction Details Page where the Declarations are listed.

Content declarations
The content of the declarations is determined on the basis of:

  1. Input from the User on the basis of information received from the Customer via the Nomination. Such as the Product and its Commodity Code, the Customs status, the origin, the customs value, etc.;
  2. The application of business rules. For example, in case of a Release for Free Circulation the procedure codes are determined on the basis of certain parameters. Below we have included an example where the Current Procedure Code is dictated by the fact that it concerns Excise controlled goods and the Previous Customs Code is based on the fact that it concerns goods coming from IP.editor_199_5_fdc1e5e4-55ee-4867-abdf-85e6e27f78b4_rte_image_614.png
  3. Defaults for Measure Types. Below some examples of default values for Measure Types, used in the event such Measure Type is applicable for the product declared.
