How to claim Zero Duty Rates
HMRC are telling businesses how to claim the zero duty rates agreed between the UK and the
EU in December’s trade and cooperation agreement. From 1 January, if your goods originate in
the EU or UK, you may be able to claim a preferential rate of duty when imported into the
respective countries and released to free circulation. This means they’ll be free of Customs
Duty.
Transit - movements not being discharged and IE142 messages being launched
When transit movements are not discharged (i.e. when the CTC process is not completed
properly), an IE142 ‘Enquiry Request’ message is launched in NCTS by the competent
authorities of the country of departure. The aim is to obtain evidence of the end of the
movement in order to discharge the transit procedure.
We are aware that IE142 messages are increasing across the EU, which means that T forms
are not being discharged on NCTS to close the transit movement.
When an IE142 message is launched by NCTS, this delays the closure of the movement and
the release of associated guarantees. Traders could therefore approach their limit on
guarantees, and if the limit is reached then new transit movements cannot be started which
will cause significant disruption to your supply chain.FAC Government Guidance – Managing your
business Post-Brexit
The issues we have seen so far include:
• The most widely reported issue is around incorrect or incomplete information being
entered in box 8 on the transit declaration, which contains the consignee details. Please
ensure this information is accurate to avoid any delays.
• When your goods arrive at the destination country, it’s important that the TAD (Transit
Accompanying Document) is presented to customs at the office of destination (a
customs office) or at the premises of an authorised consignee (your own or an agent’s
premises), so they can inform the NCTS that the goods have arrived. Even if your goods
have been presented to an office of transit at the border in the country of destination,
the haulier must still go to an office of destination or premises of an authorised
consignee to end the Transit movement.
• Traders using Entry In Declarants Record (EIDR) to enter the goods into UK customs are
not closing the T form to discharge the movement onto an import entry. You must close
the transit movement by completing Office of Destination / Authorised Consignee
procedures as this is separate to the EIDR customs process
Your guarantee will not be released until the transit movement has been ended.
