TIACA welcomes glitch removal from EU's Delegated Act for Customs
TIACA has noted that the language containing an error in the Union Customs Code's (UCC) Delegated Act has been amended, to allow the current practices to remain in place, with regards to the new European Union's Customs Code (Reg 952/2013/EU) will come into effect on May 1.
The UCC's Delegated Act (Reg. 2015/2446/EU) provides detailed implementing provisions for the Code.
The original Delegated Act contained a technical error that would have profoundly negative economic consequences for EU trade if left uncorrected, TIACA said in a newsletter.
"Currently instruments of trade including: ships, aircraft, locomotives, trucks, pallets, containers, loading units, wagons as well as their equipment, accessories and spare parts, can be temporarily admitted into the EU for re-export later, without being subject to a standard or oral customs declaration.
"They can be declared for Temporary Admission and re-export via a 'declaration by any other act," eg, crossing the EU frontier. Unfortunately, a re-numbering during the drafting of the final legal text of the Delegated Act had accidentally excluded these items from the scope of declarations by "any other act (article 139)", TIACA said.
"As a consequence, from 1 May 2016 literally millions of pallets, containers, means of transport, and their equipment would have to be declared for temporary admission into the EU, either orally (with accompanying documentation) or via a standard import declaration.
"This would create a very real and needless obstacle to the flow of air cargo trade at the EU's external border, at import and again at export. This would be completely unsupportable for both customs and industry.
"We are pleased to advise that this week, the language in the Delegated Act has been amended to allow the current practices to remain in place."
