Removal of the Local Clearance Procedure (LCP) method of declaration for goods being declared to Onward Supply Relief (OSR) from Customs Warehouse (CW).

Customs Information Paper 03(2016)

Who should read: /

All traders using CFSP LCP to declare goods from CW to OSR using CPC 42 71 004.

What is it about: / Withdrawal of LCP declarations as a method of declaring goods to OSR CPCs on removal from CW.
When effective: / 1 May 2016.
Extant until/ Expires / No end date.

1. Background.

The rewrite of the Customs Code, Council Regulation 2913/92, means that the LCP in its current form, will be withdrawn as a method of declaring goods to OSR out of CW using CPC 42 71 004. The new legislation is called the Union Customs Code (UCC), Council Regulation 952/2013.

LCP, which is to be renamed Entry In Declarants Records (EIDR), is the most common way in which OSR declarations are submitted to HMRC when the goods are being removed from CW.

The UCC has defined the EIDR (LCP) method of declaration as ineligible for OSR goods when being removed from CW and will cease from 30 April 2016. From this date, CPC 42 71 004 will be deleted and unavailable for use.

An alternative declaration procedure has been devised that will allow you to declare your goods using the Customs Freight Simplified Procedures (CFSP) Simplified Declaration Procedure(SDP) as opposed to the normal full declaration.

To remove goods from a CW to OSR you have the option of either

Simplified Declaration Procedure - submitting a Simplified Frontier Declaration (SFD) using CPC 06 42 710

or

Normal/full entry procedure - submitting a Warehouse Removal Declaration using CPC 42 71 000.

2. What you must do if you wish to use the Simplified Declaration Procedure (SDP).

If your current CFSP authorisation to use simplified procedures does not include SDP then you will need to contact your supervising office to request that your authorisation be amended to include SDP and the CPC 06 42 710.

This request must be submitted by 1 Feb 2016. The CFSP application form C&E 48 is available on GOV.UK. The supervising office will complete a PA2 requesting the addition of SDP ‘F’ flag.

If your current authorisation to use CFSP simplified procedures does include SDP you will need to ask your supervising office to amend your authorisation to include the OSR CPC 06 42 710 before 1 April 2016. We cannot guarantee that HMRC will be able to process the amendment if you make the request after this date.

Unlike the current SDP process, the new SDP OSR CPC will not require a supplementary declaration (SDW) to be submitted. The OSR CPC will only require a single SFD as all the required information will be provided in this one declaration.

Any fiscal data, declaring the duty and/or tax due, will be provided and paid on this one declaration.

.

Please note that the SFD must be submitted, with all required accompanying documentation with the required statements in Box 44:

You must enter in Box 44 of the import declaration:

your VAT identification number (beginning Y040GB if you are importing the goods on your own behalf and Y042GB if you are importing them as an agent for someone else)

if known, the expected place and date of onward consignment

if known, the particulars of the onward transport

the name, address and VAT identification number (including the Y041 prefix followed by the 2 digit country code) of the purchaser in the Member State of destination

The declaration must be accepted by CHIEF before the goods can be removed.
