Known error workarounds may apply to this area of the instructions.
This Appendix contains the specific completion rules instructions for each 3-digit Union and National Additional Procedure Code that can be used in Data Element (DE) 1/11 for Imports.
This Appendix only contains any additional completion notes for each 3-digit Additional Procedure Code and does not constitute full guidance on how the declaration should be completed.
The completion notes in this Appendix are a supplement to the main CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports.
Where the DE 1/11 completion notes contain different instruction from the main Declaration Completion Guide or other Appendices, the completion instructions in Appendix 2 take precedence.
Where a single goods item requires the use of both Union and National Additional Procedure Codes, Union Codes should be declared first. See CDS Declaration Completion Instructions for Imports, DE 1/11 for more details.
