0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Customs
response message (CUSRES) 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 Response Message (CUSRES) permits the transfer of
data from a customs administration:
- to acknowledge the receipt of the message
- to indicate whether the information received is correct or if
there are errors (i.e. accepted without errors, accepted with
errors, rejected, etc.)
- to inform the sender of the status of the customs declaration
(i.e. goods released, goods for examination, documents
required, etc.)
- to transmit additional information as agreed between parties
(i.e. tax information, quantity information, etc.)
- to respond to batched messages (i.e. CUSDEC, CUSCAR, CUSREP,
CUSEXP).
Note: this message is not meant to replace the functionality of
the CONTRL message.
1.2 Field of application
The Customs response 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 this message will allow a customs
administration to respond to any customs message, including the
possibility to respond to multi-consignment and batched
messages. It is recognized that this message may be used by
other parties to respond to customs messages.
