Simplified Customs Declaration Procedure (previously CFSP)

SCDP offers authorised traders numerous solutions for the movement of goods across UK borders


THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF SCDP AUTHORISATIONS

 

Simplified Declaration Procedure (SDP) - The Trader submits a simplified frontier declaration (SFD), followed by a supplementary declaration (SD), which must be submitted within the time limit shown in the trader’s authorisation.

Entry In the Declarant’s Records (EIDR) - The trader submits an entry into their records, followed by a supplementary declaration (SD) within the time limit shown in the trader’s authorisation.

A Final Supplementary Declaration (FSD) is submitted by the fourth working day of the month following the end of the reporting period. Where both EIDR and SDP authorisations are held, the FSD must include the number of declarations for both types of simplified procedures within the same FSD.

 

AUTHORISATION HOLDERS MAY BENEFIT FROM:

 

→ Accelerated release of goods due to minimal data requirements at the border

→ More efficient management of high workloads when utilising SD

→ The ability to combine SCDP with free circulation and special procedures to suit business needs , such as:

- CW - Customs Warehousing
- IP - Inward Processing
- OPR - Outward Processing Relief
- FZ - Free Zone
- TA - Temporary admission
- Authorised Use (End Use)

→ Electronic submission of declarations to HMRC using the Customs Declaration Service (CDS)

→ Achieving cash flow benefits, as import duty and VAT are suspended until the SD is submitted.

→ A Duty Deferment account for paying import duties and VAT.

→ Building a partnership with HMRC for more efficient and targeted controls.

By opting to apply to HMRC for a customs warehousing authorisation, traders can benefit from storing goods with duty or import VAT payments suspended.  Duty is only paid once the goods leave the warehouse, unless they’re re-exported or move to another customs procedure. Two types of warehouses exist: public and private.


Goods can be customs warehoused when they are:

→ Imported from a third country, customs duties or import VAT liable - including goods imported under CFSP.

→ Moved from another EU customs warehouse in duty suspension.

→ Common Agricultural Policy goods that qualify for an export refund.

→ EU goods that qualify for common storage arrangements.

 

Customs warehousing can further be used if:

→ The final destination of the goods is not determined upon arrival.

→ Import licences and/or paperwork are delayed.

→ You intend to use another customs procedure, such as IP for example.

 

Customs warehouse-authorised traders benefit by:

→ Only paying duty and VAT once goods leave the warehouse, providing flexibility and cashflow advantages.

→ Co-storing goods subject to another customs procedure (such as Free Circulation, IP).

→ Postponing the decision on the final destination of your goods when they arrive in the UK.

→ Allowing traders to use another customs procedure (for example, Inward Processing for non-excise goods).

→ Allowing traders to discharge from another procedure (such as IP) without physically exporting the goods.

Discharge procedures:
