Proposal for a COUNCIL DECISION

on the position to be adopted on behalf of the European Union within the Joint

Committee set up by the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure as regards the proposals for amendments to that Convention

Proposal for a Decision No 1/2017 of the EU-EFTA Joint Committee on common transit

of XX XXXX 2017

amending the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure

THE JOINT COMMITTEE

Having regard to the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure 1 , and in

particular Article 15(3)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 15(3)(a) of the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure ("the Convention") empowers the Joint Committee set up by that Convention ("the Joint Committee") to adopt by decision amendments to the Appendices to the Convention.

(2)

Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the Union Customs Code 2 ("UCC") and its Delegated and Implementing acts introduced the possibility to use the electronic transport document (ETD) as a transit declaration for air transport. Those provisions will be fully applicable as of 1 May 2018 at the latest. Moreover, certain provisions on transit and on the customs status of Union goods will only become applicable at a later point in time, because they require the relevant electronic systems to be upgraded or deployed, which will take place as of the dates indicated in the Annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/578 of 11 April 2016 establishing the Work Programme relating to the development and deployment of the electronic systems provided for in the Union Customs Code 3 .

(3)

To ensure the smooth, efficient and harmonised functioning of trade between the Union and the Contracting Parties to the Convention, the provisions in the Appendices to the Convention concerning the common transit procedure and the rules for the customs status of Union goods should be aligned with the respective provisions in the UCC Delegated and Implementing acts that will only be applicable at the later stage. For that purpose, amendments to the Appendices to the Convention are indispensable.

(4)

Therefore, the Convention has to be amended accordingly. °

1 OJ L 226, 13.8.1987, p. 2.

(4)

Example:

The declaration item concerned was the 5th item on the T1 transit document (previous document) to which the office of destination has assigned the number ‘238544’. The code will therefore be ‘821-238544-5’. (‘821’ for the transit procedure, ‘238544’ for the document's registration number (or the MRN for the NCTS operations) and '5' for the item number).

Where, in the case of paper-based transit declarations, more than one reference has to be entered, and the countries provide that a coded information shall be used, code 00200 as defined in D.E. 2/2 Additional information shall be applicable.

2/2 Additional information

The codes "00200" and "00300" are used only in case of paper-based transit declarations, if applicable.

The codes "20100", "20200" and "20300" are used in case of paper-based and electronic transit declarations, if applicable.

The four characters represent codes based on that the countries' own nomenclature.

3/1 Exporter

In the case of groupage consignments, where paper-based transit declarations are used, and the countries provide for the use of coded information, code 00200 as defined in D.E. 2/2 Additional information shall be applicable.

3/2 Exporter identification number

For the Member States of the European Union – indicate the EORI number in the Union or a third country unique identification number recognised by the Union.

For common transit countries – indicate both: the EORI number in the Union and the trader identification number in a common transit country. If the EORI number has not been granted, indicate only the trader identification number in a common transit country.

is sent to a counterpart who mirrors the consolidator's activity by dividing the consolidated consignment into its original components

MF Manufacturer Party which manufactures goods

-

the first two characters (a2) serve to identify the country by means of the country code specified for Exporter identification number,

-

the next six characters (an6) stand for the office concerned in that country. It is suggested that the following structure be adopted:

The first three characters (an3) would be taken up by the UN/LOCODE 4 location name and the last three by a national alphanumeric subdivision (an3). If this subdivision is not used, the characters ‘000’ should be inserted.

Example: BEBRU000: BE = ISO 3166 for Belgium, BRU = UN/LOCODE location name for the city of Brussels, 000 for the unused subdivision.

Formalities during incidents during movement of goods.

The following procedure is applicable until NCTS allows the customs authorities to record this information directly into the system.

Between the time when the goods leave the customs office of departure and the time they arrive at the customs office of destination, certain details may have to be added on the transit accompanying document accompanying the goods. The details relate to the transport operation and shall be entered by the carrier responsible for the means of transport on which the goods are loaded as and when the corresponding activities are carried out. The particulars may be added legibly by hand, in which case the entries should be made in ink and in block letters.

Carriers are reminded that goods can be transhipped only under an authorisation of the customs authorities of the country in whose territory the transhipment is to be made.

Where those authorities consider that the common transit operation concerned may continue in the normal way they shall, once they have taken any steps that may be necessary, endorse the transit accompanying documents.

The customs authorities at the customs office of transit or the customs office of destination, as the case may be, have the obligation to incorporate into the system the added data on the transit accompanying document. The data can also be incorporated by the authorised consignee.

The boxes and activities involved are:

— Transhipment: use box 7/1.

Box Transhipment (7/1)

The carrier shall complete the first three lines of this box when goods are transhipped from one means of transport to another or from one container to another in the course of the operation in question.

However, where goods are carried in containers that are to be transported by road vehicles, customs authorities may authorise the holder of the transit procedure to leave box 7/7-/7/8 blank where the logistical pattern at the point of departure may prevent the identity and nationality of the means of transport from being provided at the time of establishment of the transit declaration, and where they can ensure that the proper information concerning the means of transport shall be subsequently entered in box 7/1.

— Other incidents: use box 7/19.

Box Other incidents during carriage (7/19)

Box to be completed in accordance with current obligations regarding transit.

In addition, where goods have been loaded on a semi-trailer and the tractor is changed during the journey (without the goods being handled or transhipped), enter in this box the registration number and nationality of the new tractor. In this case, endorsement by the competent authorities is not necessary."
