Ucc Legal Annex

The draft Regulation proposes amendments to three UCC AD Annexes to reflect the changes to the HS nomenclature, which will enter into force on 1 January 2022.7 The publication of version 6.0 of the EU Customs Data Model has been amended by the restructured UCC Legal Annex B, revised and harmonized. The new version of the MUDC translates the provisions of the legal text of the Delegation and the relevant Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) into customs data requirements. In addition, the amended UCC Annex B introduces additional customs declaration procedures, as required by the new EU Advance Customs Cargo Information System, to facilitate free trade through enhanced customs security processes (ICS2). The UCC legal package includes the following legal acts: So far in this book, we have examined the legal concepts that underpin EU customs legislation. We now turn to customs imports and the lodging of the customs declaration to give an indication of the general administrative framework within which these crucial events take place. First of all, it should be noted that the customs declaration is of utmost importance, as a customs debt is incurred at the time of acceptance of a customs declaration. From an administrative point of view, the processing of customs declarations is a major task. In the UK alone, HMRC processed around fifty-five million import and export customs declarations in 2015-16. Since these annexes list goods on the basis of their classification in the HS nomenclature, it is necessary to take due account of the changes contained in the HS 2022 nomenclature. The proposed amendments relate primarily to the type of goods covered by a particular tariff heading or rule.

Some of these changes require the development of new IT systems and the enhancement of existing ones. These will be phased in by December 31, 2020.

The current version of the UCC Work Programme was adopted on 13 December 2019 as Commission Implementing Decision 2019/2151. The UCC was amended by Regulation (EU) 2016/2339, which amended Article 136 of the UCC on goods temporarily leaving the customs territory of the Union by sea or air. In accordance with Article 60(1) of the Union Customs Code (`UCC`)3, goods wholly obtained in a single country or territory shall be considered as originating in that country or territory. The list of goods that may be considered wholly manufactured or produced in a country or territory is contained in Article 31 of the UCC Coordination Agreement. Our books are available by subscription or purchase in libraries and institutions. The UCC was also amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/632, which allows customs authorities and economic operators to continue to provide transitional provisions (i.e. existing IT systems or paper-based devices) for the completion of a small number of customs formalities by 2025 at the latest, when new or updated IT systems are put in place to carry out these formalities.

Delegated act: Amendments to data on the interconnection of customs systems For example, for electronic integrated circuits of heading 8542, Annex 22-01 provides that an operation involving a change of tariff heading or an assembly of semiconductor products constitutes sufficient working or processing to confer non-preferential origin. However, if it is established that such working or processing is not economically justified, such working or processing, even if it complies with the list rules set out in Annex 22-01, shall not confer non-preferential origin. Rather, non-preferential origin should be determined by reference to the “residual rule” in Chapter 85 in Annex 22-01. For electronic integrated circuits of heading No 8542, the residual rule in Chapter states that the goods have the non-preferential origin of the country of origin of most materials, determined on the basis of the value of the materials. Clarifications and amendments to non-preferential rules of origin would enter into force on the 20th day following publication in the Official Journal, while amendments reflecting the HS 2022 nomenclature would apply from 1 January 2022. 2 The public consultation and the draft ordinance are available at:.
