TITLE I
Introduction
This Title describes the structure of the IE (information exchange), i.e. the model
used to describe the content of the information to be exchanged between thecompetent authorities and between economic operators and the competentauthorities using information technology and computer networks.
In this model, IEs are organised into data groups which contain data (attributes).
The data (attributes) are grouped together in such a way that they build upcoherent logical blocks within the scope of each IE.The model allows to identify:
— the characteristics of the data groups belonging to the IE: sequence, number
of repetitions, a status value to indicate if the data group is mandatory,optional or conditional,
— the characteristics of the data belonging to a data group: sequence, number of
repetitions, type, length and a value to indicate if the data is mandatory,optional or conditional,
— data group indentation indicates that the data group may contain not only
data but also other groups of data,
— the conditions applicable to data or groups of data towards other data or
groups of data in the same IE,
— the structure rules applicable to data or groups of data, explaining how the
data or data group in question is used in the IE.

TITLE II
Rules for IE (information exchange)
r5: “Item No” (box 32) is always used even if “Items” (box 5) = “1”, “Item
No” (box 32) is also “1”.
r7: Each “Item No” (box 32) is unique throughout the declaration.r10: When there is only 1 consignor declared, the data group “TRADER
consignor (box 2)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The datagroup “TRADER consignor (ex box 2)” on GOODS ITEM level can/notbe used.
r11: When there is only 1 consignee declared, the data group “TRADER
consignee (box 8)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The datagroup “TRADER consignee (ex box 8)” on GOODS ITEM level cannotbe used.
r15: The data group “TRADER authorised consignee (box 53)” can be used to
indicate that simplified procedure will be used at destination.
r20: When the declaration type (box 1 or ex box 1) = “T2” and the movement
is issued in a non-EC country (identified by the office of departure), theprincipal must declare at least one “Previous document type” (box 40) =“T2”, “T2L”, “T2F”, “T2LF”, “T2CIM”, “T2TIR” or “T2ATA” followedby its reference in “Previous document reference”.
r26: One of the attributes becomes required in case “PRODUCED. DOCU-
MENTS/CERTIFICATES” (box 44) is used.
1999R0502 — EN — 19.03.1999 — 000.001 — 10
▼B
r27: Either “Additional information identification” or “Text” of the data group
“SPECIAL MENTIONS” (box 44) is required in case “SPECIALMENTIONS” is used.
r35: Conditions “C5” and “C6” cannot be checked in case box 26 is not used.r36: Condition “C10” cannot be checked in case box 25 is not used.r41: “Agreed location of goods”/“Agreed location code”, “Authorised location
of goods” and “Customs subplace” (box 30) cannot be used at the sametime.
r60: When the trader uses commodity codes then he must declare at least four
and up to eight digits of the commodity code.
r75: “Export from EC” and “Export from country” cannot be used at the same
time.
r79: Only PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS and PRODUCED
DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES that are marked as “Common” in thereference data “DOCUMENT TYPE” will be sent to destination bymeans of the IE01.
r80: Only the SPECIAL MENTIONS that are marked as “Common” in the
reference data will be sent to destination by means of the IE01.
r95: When box 3 is not used and there is more than one good item declared
then “Number of loading lists” (box 4) is required.
This attribute is to be used when paper loading lists are present.In case of
paper loading lists the following rules are applied:
— the required attribute “Country of dispatch” (box 15a) of the data group
TRANSIT OPERATION is set to “--”
— there is only 1 occurrence of the data group GOODS ITEM, and where
necessary the subdata groups PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE REFER-ENCES, PRODUCED DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES and SPECIALMENTIONS. All the other subdata groups of GOODS ITEM cannot be used,
— the attribute “Textual description” (box 31) contains references to the
attached loading lists, “Textual_description_LNG” contains the languagecode used for those references.
The content of the references can be:
for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T1”: “See loading list(s)”,for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T2”: “See loading list(s)”,for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T-”: “T1: See loading list(s) from ... to ...”,
“T2: See loading list(s) from ... to ...”,
— the attribute “Item number” (box 32) is filled in with “--”
— all the other attributes of the data group GOODS ITEM cannot be used.
r100: The attribute is used as the basic language to be used in any further
communication between the trader at departure and the customs system.If the trader does not use this attribute then the customs system will usethe default language of the office of departure.
r105: The total number of packages is equal to the sum of all “Number of
packages” + all “Number of pieces ” + a value of “1” for each declared
“bulk”. This control is not possible when “Number of loading lists” (box4) is used.
r143: The data in the IE corresponds always to the current (latest) version of
the TRANSIT operation data. This means that it contains the amendeddeclaration data (if any) and/or the revised declaration data after a control(if any) and completed with the departure control results.
r150: The attribute “Corrected value” of the data group “RESULTS OF
CONTROL” is linked with each single attribute that can be subject of acontrol and therefore it must reflect the same characteristics of the orig-inal message attribute.
r155: The data group SGI CODES must be present in case the declaration
contains sensitive goods.
r156: A “Sensitive quantity” is always required when the movement contains
sensitive goods (see also rule 155).
The “Sensitive goods code” is not always required when the movement
contains sensitive goods. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is enoughto uniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code” isnot required. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is not enough touniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code”becomes required.
1999R0502 — EN — 19.03.1999 — 000.001 — 11
▼B
r160: The data group CONTROL RESULTS must be present in case the
declaration is submitted under simplified procedure.
r165: The data group SEALS INFO must be present in case the declaration is
submitted under simplified procedure, the authorisation of which foreseesthe use of seals.
r190: Either “New transport means identity” and “New transport means nation-
ality” or “New container number”, or both must be used when “TRAN-SHIPMENT” occurred.
r210: The IE transmits to the office of departure the relevant AAR information
received from the office of departure associating to each single attribute,when the case occurs, the data group “RESULTS OF CONTROL”
r217: All “Incidents” occurred are transmitted to the office of departure. Only
those “Transhipments” marked “not yet sent” (i. e. flag “Already in thesystem” in a message of arrival notification or a new box created for thispurpose on the TRANSIT ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT) are trans-mitted to the office of departure.
r230: This attribute is used as a flag, its value can be either “0” (“no”) or “1”
(“yes”).
r231: The value of this attribute must be one of the 22 countries for transit
without the 15 countries of the EC.
r325: When there are already seals identified in the AAR and/or arrival noti-
fication then “State of seals” is required.
r355: Only “GOODS ITEMS” showing discrepancies are sent back to the office
of departure.
r470: The IE15 allows the usage of commodity codes up to eight digits
(national), however only the first six digits are sent to destination with theAAR (international).
r700: This information is not required when goods of different type covered by
the same declaration are packed together in such a way that it is impos-sible to determine the gross mass of each type of goods.
