Declaration data

On the page “Declaration data”, you should provide the details that apply to the whole discharge notification, such as basic information, authorisations, additional information and additional documents.

 

Basic information

Provide here the required basic information. Read the detailed guidance below.

Procedure, trader reference and additional trader reference

The service has filled in the field “Procedure” based on your earlier choices.

“Trader reference” is a free-form reference issued by the declarant that identifies the customs declaration. The reference can contain no more than 22 characters, and it can consist of numbers, letters or special characters.

In the field “Additional trader reference”, you can provide some other reference, e.g. the representative’s own reference number.

Total customs debt (€)

Provide the amount of customs debt incurred for the goods to be discharged. If no payable customs debt is being incurred for the goods to be discharged based on the discharge notification, enter zero as the value.

Globalisation applied according to Article 257(2)(2) UCC

You should only provide this information if you are discharging the inward processing procedure.

Choose “0 – No” from the drop-down menu if you have applied for the authorisation with a customs declaration or if your written authorisation does not permit the use of globalisation.

If you used globalisation for discharging the procedure and you have a written authorisation granted by the Authorisation Centre to use globalisation, choose the globalisation period mentioned in the authorisation.

Authorisations

If you have a written authorisation granted by the Authorisation Centre, provide the authorisation details here. The MRN of an authorisation applied for with a customs declaration must not be provided here.

You can only provide the details of one written authorisation for one discharge notification.

Provide the authorisation number as well as the start date of the validity of the written authorisation.

Additional information

Provide here only the additional information concerning the whole notification.

If needed, provide one or more than one additional information code concerning the whole notification under “Additional information”. The service will automatically fill in the additional information code “FIPDF”. This means that the service generates a PDF document in the prescribed form, and you can retrieve it later from the e-service. Do not remove this choice.

If you haven’t given your consent for electronic notice, the additional information code “FINCO – The customer does not consent to receiving electronic notifications” is shown under “Additional information” on the page “Declaration data”.

However, if you wish to make changes to the consent, that is, if you nevertheless want to receive electronic notifications from Customs by email, edit the consent details in the user settings. Read more detailed guidance on making changes to the consent details on the page Settings. 

If you need to provide other additional information, you can add it by clicking on “+ Add information”. Select the appropriate code from the drop-down menu. If needed, provide the description of the additional information code in the field “Description”.

Additional documents

Provide here the details of the additional documents concerning the whole notification. 

Add a document by clicking on “+Add document”. From the drop-down menu, select the type of additional document and provide the identifier, such as the number of the additional document or other identifier. 

You can speed up the processing of the notification by uploading the document already when filling in the declaration. You can upload an attachment by clicking on “Upload file”. The supported attachment file types are PDF, JPG, PNG and TIF. The maximum attachment size is 5 MB. If you upload a document as an attachment, the service will automatically fill in the field “Attached file”.

You can, if necessary, add documents by clicking on “+ Add document”. If you have mistakenly added a document row, remove it by ticking the box next to the “Type” column and clicking on the button “Remove selected” above the rows.
