CAU import declaration: code 7015 to declare the PCA vs. PreCau

The GWP (Global Warming Potential) is declared as follows:

a) PreCau:

Box 44:

  • C44type = 7015.

  • C44Reference = the amount of PCA of the merchandise being imported. When such amount is not known, nothing is declared (to whites).

b) CAU :

Supporting Documents box in Items.

  • Type = 7015.

  • MeasurementUnitAndQualifier:  unit of measurement of the PCA quantity.

  • Quantity: Amount of PCA.  Likewise: When such a quantity is unknown, zero should be declared in this data element. If the amount is known, it must also be declared here. 
    ReferenceNumber is not taken into account. 

Examples:

  • PCA is NOT known.

    • Type = 7015.

    • ReferenceNumber = My reference.  The PCA amount is in Quantity.

    • MeasurementUnitAndQualifier: NAR
