EU-UK preferential origin

Import declaration codes in AIS and AEP

Automated Import System (AIS) 

You should use the following codes to claim preferential origin upon release for free circulation in the European Union (EU):

• AIS Data Element 4/17 (Preference) should contain the code ‘300’.
• AIS Data Element 5/16 (Country of preferential origin) is ‘GB’.
• AIS Data Element 2/3 (Documents produced, certificates and authorisations, additional references), one of the following codes should be used:
  • Where the claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on a 'statement on origin’ for a single shipment, use code 'U116' followed by NAI.
  • Where the claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on ‘importer’s knowledge’, use code 'U117' followed by NAI.
  • Where the claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on a 'statement on origin’ for multiple shipments of identical products, use code 'U118' followed by NAI.

Automated Entry Processing (AEP)

You should use the following codes to claim preferential origin upon release for free circulation in the EU:

• SAD box 36 (Preference) should contain the code ‘300’.
• SAD box 34 (Country of origin) is ‘GB’.
• SAD box 44 (Documents produced, certificates and authorisations, additional references), one of the following codes should be used:
  • Where the claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on a 'statement on origin’ for a single shipment, use code 'U116' followed by NAI.
  • Where the claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on ‘importer’s knowledge’, use code 'U117' followed by NAI.
  • Where the claim for preferential tariff treatment is based on a 'statement on origin’ for multiple shipments of identical products, use code 'U118' followed by NAI.

Note

The type of SAD would be ‘IM’ as GB is not an European Free Trade Association (EFTA) country.
