0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Customs
express consignment declaration message (CUSEXP) to be used in
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners
involved in administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional definition
This message permits the transfer of express consignment data
to a Customs Administration for the purpose of combining all
three types of Customs reporting (conveyance report, cargo
report and Customs Declaration) within a single message.
1.2 Field of application
The Customs express consignment 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
It is envisaged that the Customs Express Consignment
Declaration Message (CUSEXP) will allow the reporting of
individual or multiple consignments to a Customs Administration
at the Master and House Transport Document level. The message
may be used for either import or export purposes.
The message is transmitted upon arrival of the goods, or where
national legislation permits, prior to the arrival of the
conveyance.
