	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>Under the existing Union Customs Code (UCC) rules, businesses exporting goods are required to provide safety and security information. Article 263 of the Union Customs Code (Regulation (EU) No 952/2013) requires the submission of pre-departure declarations. This can be fulfilled through a customs declaration made under Article 263, or alternatively under Article 270 for re-exports, or in other cases under Article 271 by means of exit summary declarations. An exit summary declaration is only needed where a fiscal export declaration has not been lodged or is not required.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/10/2019 14:04:32 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
