Procedure

The codes to be entered in this subdivision are four-digit codes, composed of a two-digit code representing the procedure requested, followed by a second two-digit code representing the previous procedure. The list of two-digit codes is given below.

‘Previous procedure’ means the procedure under which the goods were placed before being placed under the procedure requested.

It should be noted that where the previous procedure is customs warehousing or temporary admission, or where the goods have come from a free zone, the relevant code should be used only where the goods have not been placed under inward or outward processing or end-use.

For example: re-export of goods imported under inward processing and subsequently placed under customs warehousing = 3151 (not 3171). (First operation = 5100; second operation = 7151: third operation re-export = 3151).

Similarly, where goods previously temporarily exported are re-imported and released for free circulation after having been placed under customs warehousing, temporary admission or in a free zone this is regarded as simple re-importation after temporary export.

For example: entry for home use with simultaneous entry for free circulation of goods exported under outward processing and placed under customs warehousing upon re-importation = 6121 (not 6171). (First operation: temporary export under outward processing = 2100; second operation: storage in a customs warehouse = 7121; third operation: entry for home use + entry for free circulation = 6121).

The codes marked in the list below with the letter (a) cannot be used as the first two digits of the procedure code, but only to indicate the previous procedure.

For example: 4054 = entry for free circulation and home use of goods previously placed under inward processing in another Member State.

List of procedures for coding purposes

Two of these basic elements must be combined to produce a four-digit code.

  • 00This code is used to indicate that there is no previous procedure (a)
  • 01Release for free circulation of goods simultaneously redispatched in the context of trade between parts of the customs territory of the Union in which the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC or Directive (EU) 2020/262 are applicable and parts of that territory in which those provisions do not apply, or in the context of trade between the parts of that territory where those provisions do not apply.
  • Example: Non-Union goods arriving from a third country released for free circulation in Germany and sent on to the Canary Islands.
  • 07Release of goods for free circulation simultaneously placed under a warehousing procedure other than a customs warehousing procedure where neither VAT nor, when applicable, excise duties have been paid.
  • Explanation: This code is to be used where the goods are released for free circulation but where VAT and excise duties have not been paid.
  • Examples: Imported raw sugar is released for free circulation but VAT has not been paid. While the goods are placed in a warehouse or approved area other than customs warehouse, payment of the VAT is suspended.
  • Imported mineral oils are released for free circulation and no VAT has been paid. While the goods are stored in a tax warehouse, payment of VAT and excise duties is suspended.
  • 10Permanent export.
  • Example: Export of Union goods to a third country, but also dispatch of Union goods to parts of the customs territory of the Union to which the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC or Directive (EU) 2020/262 do not apply.
  • 11Export of processed products obtained from equivalent goods under inward processing before placing non-Union goods under inward processing.
  • Explanation: Prior export (EX-IM) in accordance with Article 223(2)c) of the Code.
  • Example: Export of cigarettes manufactured from Union tobacco leaves before placing of non-Union tobacco leaves under inward processing.
  • 21Temporary export under the outward processing procedure, if not covered by code 22.
  • Example: Outward processing procedure under Articles 259 to 262 of the Code. The simultaneous application to textile products of the outward processing procedure and the economic outward processing procedure (Council Regulation (EC) No 3036/94) is not covered by this code.
  • 22Temporary export other than that referred to under code 21 and 23.
  • This code covers the following situations:
  • — The simultaneous application to textile products of the outward processing procedure and the economic outward processing procedure (Council Regulation (EC) No 3036/94 (52))
  • — Temporary export of goods from the Union for repair, processing, adaptation, making up or re-working where no customs duties will be due at re-importation.

  • Example: Temporary export for exhibitions of articles such as samples, professional equipment, etc.
  • 31Re-export.
  • Explanation: Re-export of non-Union goods following a special procedure.
  • Example: Goods are placed under customs warehousing and subsequently declared for re-export.
  • 40Simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods.
  • Entry for home use of goods in the context of trade between the Union and the countries with which it has formed a customs union.

  • 42Simultaneous release for free circulation and home use of goods which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to a Member State other than the Member State where the goods are presented to customs and, when applicable, an excise-duty suspension.
  • Entry for home use of Union goods, in the context of trade between parts of the customs territory of the Union in which the provisions of Directive 2006/112/EC and Directive (EU) 2020/262are not applicable and parts of that territory in which those provisions are applicable, which are the subject of a VAT-exempt supply to another Member State and, when applicable, an excise duty suspension.
  • Explanation: Exemption from payment of VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty suspension, is granted because the import is followed by intra-Union supply or transfer of the goods to a Member State other than the Member State where the goods are presented to customs. In that case the VAT and, where applicable, the excise duty will be due in the Member State of final destination. In order to use this procedure, the persons must meet other conditions listed in in Article 143(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC and, where applicable, the conditions listed in Article 16(1), point (b) of Directive (EU) 2020/262.
