what is a cpc code
Customs Procedure Codes (CPC) CPCs were introduced into the European Community (EC) in 1988 to be used on the, then, new Customs Declaration Form - the C88/SAD - to tell Customs, in a short-hand way, why goods were being imported or exported. From July 2008 the format of the Procedure Codes changed from 6 numbers to a 7-digit code.
