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 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 send in within 10 days after the entry.
