0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Customs
declaration message (CUSDEC) to be used in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
This Customs Declaration Message (CUSDEC) permits the transfer
of data from a declarant to a customs administration for the
purpose of meeting legislative and/or operational requirements
in respect of the declaration of goods for import, export or
transit. The message may also be used, for example :
- to transmit data from an exporter in one country to an
importer in another country;
- to transmit consignment data from one customs administration
to another;
- to transmit data from a customs authority to other
governments agencies and/or interested administrations.
- to transmit data from a declarant to the appropriate data
collection agency on the movement of goods between statistical
territories.
1.2 Field of application
The Customs declaration message may be used for both national
and international applications. It is based on universal
practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and
is not dependent on the type of business or industry.
1.3 Principles
This message incorporates the necessary transport, statistical
and customs information. Provision has also been made for the
inclusion of appropriate commercial information which may be
accepted by customs in lieu of supporting documentation.
The design principles adopted allow for referencing one or more
commercial documents pertaining to the same declaration and for
the grouping of document lines into a single customs item. A
customs item consists of the grouping of those document lines
having the same customs characteristics (e.g. tariff number,
declared use, etc.). The message correspondingly permits the
use of single or multi-packaging concepts and their
identification to a customs item.
