Commission Regulation (EU) No 430/2010

of 20 May 2010

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code

OJ L 302, 19.10.1992, p. 1.

, and in particular Article 247 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 648/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council

OJ L 117, 4.5.2005, p. 13.

introduced in Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 the obligation to lodge entry or exit summary declarations by electronic means. Commission Regulation (EC) No 273/2009

OJ L 91, 3.4.2009, p. 14.

 derogating from certain provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93

OJ L 253, 11.10.1993, p. 1.

 provides for a transitional phase expiring on 31 December 2010 during which economic operators are able, but not obliged, to lodge entry and exit summary declarations by electronic means.

(2)

It is appropriate to make some adjustments to the rules concerning entry and exit summary declarations aiming at reducing administrative burdens in cases where, for the purpose of safety and security, such declarations are not necessary. Furthermore, for the purpose of better risk analysis, household effects as defined in Article 2(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 of 16 November 2009 setting up a Community system of reliefs from customs duty

OJ L 324, 10.12.2009, p. 23.

should not be exempted from such declarations if they are carried under a transport contract.

(3)

In certain cases the provision of safety and security data in customs declarations and the requirement of a specific deadline for providing such declarations are not necessary for safety and security purposes so that further waivers should be introduced in this regard; such waivers should, however, not affect the general rules on customs declarations, in whatever form they may be lodged.

(4)

In certain cases where the safety and security related deadlines for export declarations do not apply, such as ship and aircraft supplies, it should be possible for the customs authorities to authorise reliable economic operators to enter the goods exported in their records and to report their export operations on a periodic basis after the goods have left the customs territory of the Community.

(5)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1192/2008

OJ L 329, 6.12.2008, p. 1.

amending Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 introduced common criteria and a common application form for the granting of authorisations for simplified declarations and the local clearance procedure. It should be clarified that these rules apply to all customs procedures. The same Regulation introduced in Article 253a with effect from 1 January 2011 the requirement that the use of simplified declarations or the local clearance procedure will be conditional on the lodging of electronic customs declarations and notifications. Some Member States have informed the Commission that such systems may not be available in all cases by that date. Provided that effective risk analysis is carried out, it should be possible for those Member States, under conditions which they prescribe, to accept customs declarations and notifications in other than electronic form until Regulation (EC) No 450/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 laying down the Community Customs Code (modernised Customs Code)

OJ L 145, 4.6.2008, p. 1.

 will apply.

(6)

In cases where goods in temporary storage or in a control type I free zone are re-exported from the customs territory of the Community without an exit summary declaration being required, an alternative means for recording or notifying the re-exportation and the person responsible need to be laid down.

(7)

It should be clarified that the export formalities are not only to be used for Community goods which are to be brought to a destination outside the customs territory of the Community, but also with regard to tax exempt aircraft and ship supplies so that persons delivering such supplies can receive a proof of exit from the customs territory of the Community needed for the purposes of tax exemption. The same rules should apply where non-Community goods are to be re-exported under cover of a re-export declaration.

(8)

Articles 278, 279 and 280 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax

OJ L 347, 11.12.2006, p. 1.

and Article 3 of Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC

OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 12.

 require the use of the import and export formalities where Community goods are moved to and from territories within the customs territory of the Community in which those Directives do not apply. It is appropriate to refer to those provisions and to exempt such movements from the requirement to provide safety and security related data and to respect the special deadlines for safety and security related controls given that those provisions should apply only for goods brought into and out of the customs territory of the Community. Due to their geographical situation, the special deadlines for safety and security related controls and the provision of safety and security related data are also not necessary in cases where goods are brought to Heligoland, the Republic of San Marino and the Vatican City State.

(9)

The customs office at which the exit summary declaration is to be lodged and the person responsible for lodging such declaration should be specified. This clarification should include situations in which, instead of an exit summary declaration, a transit declaration containing the data of an exit summary declaration is lodged.

(10)

In order to facilitate customs supervision at the customs office of exit, it is necessary to specify the obligations of persons handing over goods to another person before the goods are carried out of the customs territory of the Community and the obligations of persons having to provide information on the exit of goods to the customs office of exit. The same obligations should apply in cases where goods declared for export and presented at the customs office of exit are no longer destined to be brought out of the customs territory of the Community and are removed from the customs office of exit.

(11)

By virtue of Directive 2008/118/EC the use of the Excise Movement Computerised System (EMCS) is mandatory for the movement of excise goods under suspension of excise duty as of 1 January 2011. According to that Directive, the movement of Community goods under suspension of excise duty with a destination outside the customs territory of the Community has to take place under the export procedure for which a computerised system is to be used. The special rules concerning the use of the administrative accompanying document provided for by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2719/92 of 11 September 1992 on the accompanying administrative document for the movement under duty-suspension arrangements of products subject to excise duty

OJ L 276, 19.9.1992, p. 1.

should therefore be deleted with effect from 1 January 2011. Export procedures which started under cover of an administrative accompanying document before that date should be terminated in accordance with Article 793c of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 as it was applicable on 31 December 2010.

(12)

These amendments should not require any changes to those electronic systems which are or have to be in place when this Regulation becomes applicable.

(13)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
