Goods item

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.

The goods item details include e.g.

  • procedure details
  • commodity code and description of goods
  • gross mass and net mass and possible supplementary unit
  • statistical value of the goods
  • packages
  • previous documents
  • additional information codes
  • additional documents, if any, and other reference details.

Commodity and basic information

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

Requested procedure and previous procedure

The service fills in the details automatically based on your first choices. 

Statistical value (eur)

Provide the statistical value in euros. The statistical value of exported goods is the FOB value at the Finnish border. The statistical value includes the cost of transport and insurance of the goods up to the Finnish border. If goods are re-exported after inward processing, the material imported for processing and the processing costs incurred in Finland are also included in the statistical value. Correspondingly, any costs incurred outside the Finnish borders are deducted from the statistical value, if they are included in the price according to the terms of delivery. The statistical value must be provided, even if nothing is paid for the goods.

Country of origin

Providing the country of origin is optional.

Combined nomenclature code

Provide the commodity codes of the goods at the level of eight digits. 
In the export declaration for goods in pipelines, you can only provide the following commodity codes:

  • 2716 00 00 (electrical energy) 
  • 2711 21 00 (natural gas)
  • 3825 20 00 (sewage sludge).

Description of goods (Taric) 

The service fills in the field “Description of goods (Taric) automatically when you have entered a valid commodity code.

Description of goods (trader)

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.
If you have provided the commodity code 3825 20 00 (sewage sludge), which 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”.  

Certificates

The goods may be subject to several restrictions and related certificates. The certificates are displayed automatically in the service based on your earlier choices. For each of them, you must either tick the box next to the certificate or not.

If you choose an export authorisation, provide the authorisation number in the “Identifier” field.

Codes related to the commodity code

There are no Taric additional codes related to the commodity code 2716 00 00 (electrical energy), 2711 21 00 (natural gas) or 3825 20 00 (sewage sludge) used for goods in pipelines.

Dangerous goods

For transports of dangerous goods, provide the UN dangerous goods (UNDG) number.

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.

Values and quantities

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

Net mass (kg) 

Net mass is the weight of the goods without any packaging. If you use the commodity code 2716 00 00, don’t provide the net mass. Under supplementary unit of measure quantity, enter how many 1000 megawatt hours electricity has been delivered. For the other commodity codes, provide the actual net mass.

Supplementary units

If the Taric nomenclature requires a supplementary unit for the commodity code, it will be displayed in the service. 

Additional documents

You can add an additional document by clicking on “+ Add document”. Fill in at least the columns “Document type” and “Document ID”.
 
You don’t need to upload the document as an attachment to the declaration, unless Customs specifically asks for it. You can, however, speed up the processing of the declaration by uploading the document already when filling in the declaration.
 
If you want to upload a document as an attachment, click on “Add attachment”. The supported attachment file types are pdf, jpg, png and tif. The maximum attachment size is 5 MB. When you have uploaded the attachment, the service automatically fills in the column “Attachment reference” with the reference number issued by Customs.

You don’t need to provide additional information about the attachment, unless your declaration requires that an authorisation or a certificate be provided. Provide the additional information by clicking on “Details”, which opens a pop-up window. If you are providing details of an entry document you submitted to the TRACES system, fill in the entry document item number in the field “Item Number” (e.g. “1”, if the goods are on the first row in the entry document). Don’t fill in any other fields in the pop-up window.

Additional information

If you need to provide additional information on the goods item, you can add it by clicking on “+ Add information”. Select the additional information code in the drop-down menu for the field “Code”. Provide the information that the additional information code requires in the field “Description”. You can select more than one additional information code, if necessary.

Previous documents

You can provide the previous document. 

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

  • If the previous document is a customs warehousing declaration or an import declaration (inward processing, temporary admission), provide “NMRN – Declaration/notification MRN” as the previous document type and the MRN as the reference and the goods item number.
  • 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.

Consignee

Enter the name and address of the consignee.

Consignor

If the consignor isn’t the same as the exporter, provide the details of the consignor. 

Only an EORI number can be provided as the consignor’s identification number. When you enter the consignor’s EORI number, the service fills in the other details automatically.

If the consignor doesn’t have an EORI number, leave the “Identification number” field blank and provide the consignor’s name and address details.

Additional AEO supply chain actors

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.
