In this model, IEs are organised into data groups which contain data (attributes). The data (attributes) are grouped together in such a way that they build up coherent logical blocks within the scope of each IE. The model allows to identify: — the characteristics of the data groups belonging to the IE: sequence, number of repetitions, a status value to indicate if the data group is mandatory, optional or conditional, — the characteristics of the data belonging to a data group: sequence, number of repetitions, type, length and a value to indicate if the data is mandatory, optional or conditional, — data group indentation indicates that the data group may contain not only data but also other groups of data, — the conditions applicable to data or groups of data towards other data or groups of data in the same IE, — the structure rules applicable to data or groups of data, explaining how the data or data group in question is used in the IE.

The data group “TRADER consignee (ex box 8)” on GOODS ITEM level cannot be used The IE model is divided into five parts: Explanation A B The identification part, each IE is identified by: — a unique number that consists of the two characters “IE” followed by a maximum of 3 digits a , b , — a name — a unique reference c in a one-to-one relationship with the unique number of the IE; each IE is prefixed with “E_” (external domain), “C_” (common domain) or “N_” (internal). The structure part provides the following: — the sequence of the data groups in the IE, a , — a data group name — a number followed by the character “x” repeated in the IE, b indicating how many times the data group may be — a value c indicating whether the data group is (R)equired, (O)ptional or (C)onditional, — when relevant, a “box number” d representing the number of the box on the SAD, 12. 3. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 65/57 — reference to the condition and/or rule e applicable to the data, — data group indentation f indicates that the data group depends on lower indent data group. C The “data group” detail part provides for each data (attribute) the following: — the sequence of the data within the data group, — a data group name — the attribute name a , the same as in the structure part, b within the data group, — a value c indicating whether the data is (R)equired, (O)ptional or (C)onditional, — the data type — the data length d : (a)lphabetic and/or (n)umeric, e (the optional two dots before the length indicator mean that the data has no fixed length, but it can have up to a number of digits, as specified by the length indicator); it must be noted that the data type/data length of fields representing a date is always “n8” in order to be year 2000 compliant (e. g. 19980220); also, a comma in the data length (e. g. 8,6) means that the attribute can hold decimals, the digit before the comma indicates the total length of the attribute, the digit after the comma indicates the maximum number of digits after the decimal point, — when relevant, a “box number” representing the number of the box on the SAD, g to the condition “Cond” and/or to the “Rule” applicable to the data. — a reference f D E r5: r7: r10: r11: The “Condition” part: lists all conditions applicable to the data or data group towards other data or data group included in the IE. A condition expresses the dependency of an attribute or data group on the content of another attribute or data group within the same IE. The attribute or data group in question can, due to the condition, be rendered (R)equired, (O)ptional or even “not be used” within the IE. The “Rule” part: lists all rules applicable to the data or data group, explaining how the data or how the data group in question is used in the IE. TITLE II Rules for IE (information exchange) “Item No” (box 32) is always used even if “Items” (box 5) = “1”, “Item No” (box 32) is also “1”. Each “Item No” (box 32) is unique throughout the declaration. When there is only one consignor declared, the data group “TRADER consignor (box 2)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The data group “TRADER consignor (ex box 2)” on GOODS ITEM level cannot be used. When there is only 1 consignee declared, the data group ‘TRADER consignee (box 8)” on TRANSIT OPERATION level is used. The data group ‘TRADER consignee (ex box 8)” on GOODS ITEM level cannot be used. L 65/58 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 12. 3. 1999 r15: r20: r26: r27: The data group “TRADER authorised consignee (box 53)” can be used to indicate that simplified procedure will be used at destination. When the declaration type (box 1 or ex box 1) = “T2” and the movement is issued in a non-EC country (identified by the office of departure), the principal must declare at least one “Previous document type” (box 40) = “T2”, “T2L”, “T2F”, “T2LF”, “T2CIM”, “T2TIR” or “T2ATA” followed by its reference in “Previous document reference”. One of the attributes becomes required in case “PRODUCED DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES” (box 44) is used. Either “Additional information identification” or “Text” of the data group “SPECIAL MENTIONS” (box 44) is required in case “SPECIAL MENTIONS” is used. r35: Conditions “C5” and “C6” cannot be checked in case box 26 is not used. r36: Condition “C10” cannot be checked in case box 25 is not used. r41: r60: “Agreed location of goods”/“Agreed location code”, “Authorised location of goods” and “Customs subplace” (box 30) cannot be used at the same time. When the trader uses commodity codes then he must declare at least four and up to eight digits of the commodity code. r75: “Export from EC” and “Export from country” cannot be used at the same time. r79: r80: r95: PREVIOUS Only DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES that are marked as “Common” “DOCUMENT TYPE” will be sent to destination by means of the IE01. ADMINISTRATIVE DOCUMENTS and PRODUCED in the reference data Only the SPECIAL MENTIONS that are marked as “Common” in the reference data will be sent to destination by means of the IE01. When box 3 is not used and there is more than one goods item declared then “Number of loading lists” (box 4) is required. This attribute is to be used when paper loading lists are present. In case of paper loading lists the following rules are applied: — the required attribute “Country of dispatch” (box 15a) of the data group TRANSIT OPERATION is set to “--”, — there is only one occurrence of the data group GOODS ITEM, and where necessary the subdata PRODUCED DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES and SPECIAL MENTIONS. All the other subdata groups of GOODS ITEM cannot be used, PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE REFERENCES, groups — the attribute “Textual description” (box 31) contains references to the attached loading lists, “Textual_description_LNG” contains the language code used for those references. The content of the references can be: for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T1”:“See loading list(s)”, for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T2”:“See loading list(s)”, for “Declaration type” (box 1) = “T-”:“T1: See loading list(s) from. to. ”, “T2: See loading list(s) from. to. ”, — the attribute “Item number” (box 32) is filled in with “--”, — all the other attributes of the data group GOODS ITEM cannot be used. 12. 3. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 65/59 r100: r105: r143: r150: The attribute is used as the basic language to be used in any further communication between the trader at departure and the customs system. If the trader does not use this attribute then the customs system will use the default language of the office of departure. The total number of packages is equal to the sum of all “Number of packages” + all “Number of pieces” + a value of “1” for each declared “bulk”. This control is not possible when “Number of loading lists” (box 4) is used. The data in the IE always corresponds to the current (latest) version of the TRANSIT operation data. This means that it contains the amended declaration data (if any) and/or the revised declaration data after a control (if any) and completed with the departure control results. The attribute “Corrected value” of the data group “RESULTS OF CONTROL” is linked to each single attribute that can be subject to a control and therefore it must reflect the same characteristics of the original message attribute. r155: The data group SGI CODES must be present in case the declaration contains sensitive goods. r156: A “Sensitive quantity” is always required when the movement contains sensitive goods (see also rule 155). The “Sensitive goods code” is not always required when the movement contains sensitive goods. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is enough to uniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code” is not required. If the HS6 commodity code (box 33) is not enough to uniquely identify a sensitive good then the “Sensitive goods code” is required. r160: The data group CONTROL RESULTS must be present in case the declaration is submitted under simplified procedure. r165: The data group SEALS INFO must be present in case the declaration is submitted under simplified procedure, the authorisation of which foresees the use of seals. r190: Either “New transport means identity” and “New transport means nationality” or “New container number”, or both must be used when “TRANSHIPMENT” occurred. r210: r217: The IE transmits to the office of departure the relevant AAR information received from the office of departure associating to each single attribute, when the case occurs, the data group “RESULTS OF CONTROL”. All “Incidents” occurred are transmitted to the office of departure. Only those “Transhipments” marked “not yet sent” (i. e. flag “Already in the system” in a message of arrival notification or a new box created for this purpose on the TRANSIT ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT) are transmitted to the office of departure. r230: This attribute is used as a flag, its value can be either “0” (“no”) or “1” (“yes”). r231: The value of this attribute must be one of the 22 countries for transit without the 15 countries of the EC. r325: When there are already seals identified in the AAR and/or arrival notification then “State of seals ok” is required. r355: Only “GOODS ITEMS” showing discrepancies are sent back to the office of departure. r470: The IE15 allows the usage of commodity codes up to eight digits (national), however only the first six digits are sent to destination with the AAR (international). r700: This information is not required when goods of different type covered by the same declaration are packed together in such a way that it is impossible to determine the gross mass of each type of good.
