House consignment - Goods item (Transit declaration)

Provide goods with the same commodity code and goods description under one goods item. If there are e.g. several commodity codes, provide them as separate goods items.

Commodity and basic information

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

Declaration goods item number

This field is filled in automatically. 

Country of dispatch 

If the country of dispatch has already been provided under “Declaration header” or “House consignment – Declaration header”, the service fills in this detail automatically. If the field is empty, choose the country of dispatch. The country of dispatch is the country where the transit begins.

Country of destination

If the country of destination has already been provided under “Declaration header” or “House consignment – Declaration header”, the service fills in this detail automatically. If the field is empty, choose the country of destination.

Declaration type

This detail must only be provided if you have chosen T transit (mixed T1 and T2 goods). 
If not, this field is filled in automatically.

UCR

When you provide safety and security data on entry with the transit declaration (security code “1 – Safety and security data (entry)) this detail is mandatory.

If the goods items have different references, enter the UCR here. If not, provide the UCR at declaration header level.

The UCR can be a WCO (ISO 15459) code or some other similar code.

Commodity code

Provide the 6-digit or 8-digit commodity code of the goods. This detail is mandatory.

Please note that providing the commodity code speeds up the processing of the declaration. Also, if the commodity code has not been provided, the service is not able to estimate the amount of guarantee to be reserved. For more information, see “Guarantees”.

CUS code

The CUS code is a European identifier relating to exports and imports of dangerous chemicals. Check e.g. in the TARIC database, whether a CUS code that requires measures has been assigned to the commodity code. If yes, provide the CUS code here. Please note that if you provide the CUS code, you still have to provide the goods description. Read more about the CUS codes on the website of the European Chemicals Agency.
1.4.3.2.8 Commodity code description (Taric) 
This field is filled in automatically when you have entered a valid commodity code.

Description of goods

In the field “Description of goods”, provide the common trade name based on which the goods can be identified. You cannot use a general name describing the goods or just a 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”.

If you have provided a commodity code that requires a certificate or licence, the heading “Certificates” will be displayed under the field “Description of goods”. The required document will be indicated under the heading. Attach the document to the declaration under “Additional documents”. 

Dangerous goods

Provide the UN dangerous goods (UNDG) number for transports of dangerous goods.

Quantities

Provide here the required quantity information of the goods. Read the detailed guidance below.

Gross mass (kg) 

Enter the gross mass of the goods item in kilograms. This field is mandatory. The gross mass is the weight of the goods including packaging, without the means of transport or containers. If the gross mass is below 1 kg, enter the value e.g. in the format “0,654”, but with no more than 6 decimals. If the weight exceeds 1 kg, you can enter the value rounded off to the closest full kilogram according to the rounding rules.

Net mass (kg) 

Net mass is the weight of the goods without any packaging.

Supplementary units

If the TARIC nomenclature requires a supplementary unit for the commodity code, it will be displayed in the service. In that case, the appropriate unit will be displayed after the field “Supplementary units”.

For example, many commodity codes for clothes require the number of pieces (NAR) as the supplementary unit. The supplementary unit is only mandatory when the commodity code requires it. 

Packages

Provide the package details. A package refers to a unit that cannot be divided without first undoing the packing.

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 individual packages. This detail need not be provided for bulk goods. The following kinds of packages are considered bulk goods: VQ, VG, VL, VY, VR, VS and VO.

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 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”.

Previous documents

Provide the previous document. It is usually an entry summary declaration or a temporary storage declaration (summary declaration). 

Choose the previous document type from the drop-down menu under “Previous document type”. Select the type as follows:

  • If the previous document is an entry summary declaration or a temporary storage declaration, choose either “N355 – Entry summary declaration” or “N337 – Temporary storage declaration” as the previous document type.
    • Also provide the identifier of house level transport document.
  • If the previous document is a customs warehousing declaration, provide “NMRN – Declaration/notification MRN” as the previous document type and the MRN as the reference.
  • If the previous document was submitted under a fallback procedure, and no MRN was issued to the fallback procedure, select “1ZZZ – Other previous document” as the document type.
  • If there is no previous document, choose “9000 – No previous procedure”. The code 9000 can only be used if no previous entry summary declaration has been lodged and safety and security data are provided in the transit declaration.

As an exception, until 24 May 2025, the transport document is also provided here. From the drop-down menu, choose the appropriate transport document type, e.g. “N730 – Road consignment note” or “N720 – Consignment note CIM”. If there are separate transport documents for the house consignments, this detail can also be provided under “House consignment – Declaration header”.

Additional information

You can, if needed, provide goods item-specific additional information.

Additional documents

If there are permits or licences concerning the transport or the goods, provide them here. A health certificate or an import licence, for example, can be such documents.

Provide the document type and the document identifier. In the field “Document line item”, you can, if needed, enter the document line where the goods are indicated. In the field “Complement of information”, you can enter, for example, the date of the document. You can speed up the processing of your declaration by uploading the attachment before submitting the declaration. 

An additional document can be provided either here or under “Declaration header”.  

Additional reference

If you are transiting excise goods, you should here provide the code C651 and as its description the ARC. If needed, you can provide additional references, such as the negation code “Y903 – Declared goods are not included in the list of cultural goods”.

Additional AEO supply chain actors

Here you can provide details of an additional AEO supply chain actor for the goods item.

Provide the EORI number of the additional AEO supply chain actor or an identification number that is in accordance with an international MRA agreement and corresponds to the AEO actor’s identification number. Select a role for the additional AEO supply chain actor.
