De Europese Commissie brengt aangaande de Exportation of Excise Goods volgende naar voor:
Vanaf 1 juli vraagt de export procedure het gebruik van een data-processing technique zoals vermeld in Reg 1875/2006 Art. 3
Bron: 24 April 2009 - European commission
The following aspects need to be taken into account:
from 1 July 2009, the export procedure requires the use of a data-processing technique (Reg 1875/2006, Art. 3 (3) as far as it concerns point 49 and, consequently, Art 787 CCIP*)
between 1 July and 31 March 2010, the movement of excise goods will be based, from a fiscal point of view, on a paper-based procedure (Art 18(1) of Directive 92/12/EEC*)
between 1 April 2010 and 31 December 2010, the movement of excise goods from a fiscal point of view will take place either using a data-processing technique (Art 21 of Directive 2008/118/EC*), or using a paper-based procedure (Art 46 (1) of Directive 2008/118/EC*)
after 31 December 2010, the movement of excise goods must be based, from a fiscal point of view, on a data-processing technique (Art 21 (1) of Directive 2008/118*)
Consequently, the following should apply:
Between 1 July 2009 and 31 March 2010:
Article 793c CCIP* will be applicable, but the export declaration must be based on a data-processing technique, in accordance with Article 787 CCIP. This means that the stamping of Copy 3 of the export declaration mentioned in Article 793c (1) will me made in a copy of the Export Accompanying Document mentioned in Article 796a (1). The customs office of exit shall supervise the physical exit of the goods and send back the copy of the administrative accompanying document in accordance with Article 793c (2).
After 1 April 2010:
For movements based on a data-processing technique, there is no need to apply Article 793c CCIP* as both the export and the excise procedures are computerized. The certification of exit mentioned in Article 796e (1) CCIP* will be the basis for the report of export mentioned in Article 25 (1) of Directive 2008/118/EC*. * See this provision in the Annex
2. For movements based on the excise accompanying document (cases mentioned in Article 46 (1) of Directive 2008/118*), the procedure referred to under point II A of this document will be applicable until 31 December 2010 (and beyond if such a movement started before 1 January 2011 and did not end before that date).
3. Article 793c CCIP* can be deleted after 31/12/2010 as it will have lost its relevance (except for movements started before 1 January 2011 that did not end before that date).
Article 21 of Directive 2008/118/EC:
A movement of excise goods shall be considered to take place under a duty suspension arrangement only if it takes place under cover of an electronic administrative document processed in accordance with paragraphs 2 and 3.
For the purposes of paragraph 1 of this Article, the consignor shall submit a draft electronic administrative document to the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch using the computerised system referred to in Article 1 of Decision No 1152/2003/EC (hereinafter "the computerised system").
The competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch shall carry out an electronic verification of the data in the draft electronic administrative document.
In the cases referred to in Article 17(1)(a)(i), (ii) and (iv), Article 17(1)(b) and Article 17(2), the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch shall forward the electronic administrative document without delay to the competent authorities of the Member State of destination, which shall forward it to the consignee where the consignee is an authorised warehousekeeper or a registered consignee.
In the case referred to in Article 17(1)(a)(iii) of this Directive, the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch shall forward the electronic administrative document to the competent authorities of the Member State where the export declaration is lodged in application of Article 161(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 (hereinafter the "Member State of export"), if that Member State is different from the Member State of dispatch.
The consignor shall provide the person accompanying the excise goods with a printed version of the electronic administrative document or any other commercial document mentioning, in a clearly identifiable manner, the unique administrative reference code. It must be possible for that document to be presented to the competent authorities upon request throughout the movement under an excise duty suspension arrangement.
The consignor may cancel the electronic administrative document as long as the movement has not begun under Article 20(1).
During the movement under a duty suspension arrangement, the consignor may, using the computerised system, amend the destination to show a new destination which must be one of the destinations referred to in Article 17(1)(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) or, where applicable, in Article 17(2)."
Article 25 of Directive 2008/118/EC:
In the cases referred to in Article 17(1)(a)(iii) and, where applicable, Article 17(1)(b) of this Directive, a report of export shall be completed by the competent authorities of the Member State of export on the basis of the endorsement drawn up by the customs office of exit as referred to in Article 793(2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 of 2 July 1993 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code or by the office where the formalities referred to in Article 3(2) of this Directive are accomplished, certifying that the excise goods have left the territory of the Community.
The competent authorities of the Member State of export shall carry out an electronic verification of the data resulting from the endorsement referred to in paragraph 1. Once these data have been verified, and where the Member State of dispatch is different from the Member State of export, the competent authorities of the Member State of export shall send the report of export to the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch.
The competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch shall forward the report of export to the consignor."
Article 46 (1) of Directive 2008/118/EC:
Until 31 December 2010, Member States of dispatch may continue to allow movements of excise goods under a duty suspension arrangement which were initiated under cover of the formalities set out in Article 15(6) and Article 18 of Directive 92/12/EEC.
Articles 21 to 27 of this Directive shall not apply to those movements."
Article 15 of Directive 92/12/EEC:
5. An authorized warehousekeeper of dispatch or his agent may amend the contents of boxes 4, 7, 7a, 13, 14 and/or 17 of the accompanying document to show a new consignee, who must be an authorized warehousekeeper or registered trader, or a new place of delivery. The competent authority of dispatch must be notified immediately and the new consignee or the new place of delivery shall immediately be indicated on the reverse of the accompanying document.
6. In the case of intra-Community movement of mineral oils by sea or inland waterway, the authorized warehousekeeper of dispatch need not complete boxes, 4, 7, 7a, 13 and 17 on the accompanying document if, when the products are dispatched, the consignee is not definitively known, provided that:
— the competent authorities of the Member State of departure authorize the consignor in advance not to complete these boxes,
— the same authorities are notified of the name and address of the consignee, his excise number and the country of destination as soon as they are known or at the latest when the products reach their final destination."
Article 18 of Directive 92/12/EEC:
"1. Notwithstanding the possible use of computerized procedures, all products subject to excise duty moving under duty-suspension arrangements between Member States, including those moving by sea or air directly from one Community port or airport to another, shall be accompanied by a document drawn up by the consignor. This document may be either an administrative document or a commercial document. The form and content of this document, and the procedure to be followed where its use is objectively inappropriate, shall be established in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 24.
— the address of the office concerned of the tax authorities in the Member State of destination,
— the date and reference of payment or of the acceptance of the guarantee of payment by this office.
6. This Article shall also apply to products subject to excise duty moving under duty-suspension arrangements between two tax warehouses located in the same Member State via the territory of another Member State."
Article 19 of Directive 92/12/EEC:
"1. The tax authorities of the Member States shall be informed by traders of deliveries dispatched or received by means of the document or a reference to the document specified in Article 18. This document shall be drawn up in quadruplicate:
— one copy to be kept by the consignor,
— one copy for the consignee,
— one copy to be returned to the consignor for discharge,
— one copy for the competent authorities of the Member State of destination.
The competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch and destination may stipulate that the information contained in the copies of the accompanying document intended for them is to be sent by computerized means.
2. When products subject to excise duty move under the duty suspension arrangements to an authorized warehousekeeper or to a registered or non-registered trader, a copy of the accompanying administrative document or a copy of the commercial document, duly annotated, shall be returned by the consignee to the consignor for discharge, at the latest within 15 days following the month of receipt by the consignee.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, Member States of dispatch may provide for a copy of the return copy to be sent immediately to the consignor by fax so that the guarantee may be released quickly. This shall not affect the obligation to return the original pursuant to the first sentence.
Where products subject to excise duty move frequently and regularly between two Member States under duty suspension arrangements, the competent authorities of those Member States may, by mutual agreement, authorize the procedure for discharging the accompanying document to be simplified by means of summary or automated certification.
4. Products subject to excise duty that are dispatched by an authorized warehousekeeper established in a Member State for exportation via one or more other Member States shall be permitted to move under the duty-suspension arrangements as defined in Article 4 (c). Those arrangements shall be discharged by an attestation drawn up by the customs office of departure from the Community confirming that the products have indeed left the Community. That office must send back to the consignor the certified copy of the accompanying document intended for him.
5. If there is no discharge, the consignor shall inform the tax authorities of his Member State within a time limit to be fixed by those tax authorities. The time limit may not, however, exceed three months from the date of dispatch of the goods."

6. In the cases referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Article, the customs authorities shall ensure that the requirements of Articles 796a to 796e are met."

Where the customs office of export has, after a period of 150 days from the date of release of the goods for export, received neither an "Exit results" message from the customs office of exit nor satisfactory evidence in accordance with Article 796da(4), the customs office of export may consider this as information that the goods have not left the customs territory of the Community.

The customs office of export shall inform the declared customs office of exit where it has accepted evidence in accordance with point b of paragraph 1."
