HMRC has issued further information regarding the introduction of new functionalities and declaration completion instructions. Please see the received message below.
CDS has introduced validation on the following authorisations:
- Customs Warehouse
- Special Procedures (Inward Processing, Outward Processing, End Use and Temporary Admission)
- Simplified Customs Declaration Procedures – SDE and EIDR
- Custom Comprehensive Guarantee and any associated deferment accounts
CDS will now ensure that:
- The correct document code is being declared in data element 2/3 as per the CDS completion rules for that authorisation (and/or procedure code where applicable).
- The correct and valid authorisation number is declared against the appropriate document code in data element 2/3 (the authorisation number must belong to the same authorisation type as the document code and be valid at the time of movement).
- The EORI entered as the owner of the authorisation in 3/39 is a live EORI and actually owns the authorisation declared against the same authorisation type in data element 2/3
- The authorisation is owned by a party declared on the declaration, the owner must be declared in either DE 3/16, DE 3/18 or DE 3/20.
If any of the above are not met CDS will reject the declaration.
The issues we have seen so far have been due to:
- Errors when inputting the authorisation number meaning the one input in 2/3 does not match the number in our records.
- The incorrect EORI being input in 3/39 so the EORI input is not the owner of the authorisation declared.
