Transport document - Goods item (Temporary storage declaration)

 

Basic information

Provide here the required basic information about the goods item. Read the detailed guidance below.

Commodity code

Provide the 6-digit commodity code of the goods. It is not compulsory to provide a commodity code. 

Customs status of the goods

Indicate the customs status of the goods only if you previously provided the additional information code ”FIVAA” indicating authorised issuer, ”FITAA” indicating a T2L document or ”FIETD” indicating an electronic transport document as a customs declaration.

Goods description

Under “Description of goods”, provide the common trade name based on which the goods can be identified. You can’t use a general name describing the goods or just the model or product number. The goods description must be a verbal description of the goods.

For example, “clothes” is not sufficient – you have to specify what kind of clothes they are, such as “women’s nightdresses of cotton”. The description “spare parts” is not sufficient – you have to specify what kind of spare parts they are, e.g. “car windshield” or “fanbelt”.

Goods description (TARIC)

This section is completed automatically when you enter a valid commodity code. 

CUS code

Provide the CUS code, if the goods are subject to measures involving the CUS code according to TARIC. The CUS code is an identifier used for certain chemical substances and products. Even though you provide the CUS code, you must also provide the goods description.

Add UNDG

If dangerous goods are being transported, enter a UNDG code for dangerous goods listed by the UN.

In the field “Kind of packages”, select the code that indicates the kind of packages. 

In the field “Number of packages”, enter the number of invidual packages. If the goods are unpacked, provide the number of items. This information doesn’t need to be provided where goods are in bulk. If a package contains several goods items, enter one (1) as the number of packages in the details of at least one of the goods items. In the details of the other goods items in the same package, enter zero (0) as the number of packages.

In the field “Shipping marks”, provide a free-form description of the marks and numbers on packages. If the packages are not marked, enter “No markings”. If you have entered zero as the number of packages, provide the same package markings as on the goods item for which the total number of packages has been provided. 

If there are several kinds of packages for the goods, provide them on separate rows. A new row will be displayed when you click on ”+Add package”.
