New codes in box44 of the import SAD.
This envisions the new codes to be used in the import SAD for low-value declarations.
1315 Declaration of the AEO that there is NO RD 330/2008 certification because it is a shipment of up to 5 units and for a private individual
1317 Declaration by the AEO that the transaction is EXEMPT from systematic control (and from RD 330/2008 certification) as it is a shipment of up to 5 units and for a private individual
The declarant/representative must be an AEO of simplifications or complete;the importer must be an individual;the tariff code of Box33 must have the COM measure and, finally, a number of units must be declared in box 31 that is less than or equal to 5.In addition, if the declared code is 1317, the customs value cannot exceed 150 euros;
In the test environment, the country tables and other parameters of the export (ECS) and transit (NCTS) applications are set up as if BREXIT had occurred on 1/12/2020, instead of 1/1/2021 in the production environment.
Therefore, from 1 December, proof of export and transit declarations can be made as if it were already 2021 and BREXIT had already taken place.

Version 1.2 of the technical guide has been published, which includes:

Since Wednesday 29 July 2020, the option is available to include in the customs import declaration (SAD) phytosanitary certificates indicating that no intervention by the competent non-customs authority is appropriate, even if the tariff position is marked with such a control.These certificates are issued by the general plant health inspection service, which forwards them to the AEAT for use in the SAD.
