However, until 31 December 2021 most importers of non-controlled goods from the EU can choose to delay the submission of their customs declarations to HMRC for up to 175 days after import as part of the staged approach to customs controls (SCC).</p><p> </p><p>HMRC’s understanding to date is that overall use of delayed declarations (whether under SCDP or as part of SCC) in 2021 so far has been high.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC is receiving broadly the volume of declarations expected, and where declarations are being delayed, they are typically being submitted well within the 175-day window permitted by staged customs controls.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC continues to monitor declarations closely, as well as supporting traders to prepare for the ending of staged customs controls delayed declarations on 1 January.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 23/09/2021 16:15:23 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>A Common Transit Convention (CTC) transit movement can be started and the Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) can be printed out at the customs office of departure or at the premises of an authorised consignor. Businesses seeking to start transit movements from their own location can seek authorisation to be a consignor.</p><p> </p><p>The requirements of the convention are that the TAD covers a single means of transport, package or container. If this single means of transport is broken, then the transit movement should end. There are processes under the CTC which allow for a change of tractor unit/trailer following an incident; however, this must be marked on the TAD and reported to the nearest customs office. Alternatively, if the transit consignment is in a container then this container can change mode of transport, providing this is overseen by customs authorities.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC are currently involved in discussions with the Common Transit Convention Working Group about removing or reducing the oversight of customs authorities for this change in mode of transport which will make these movements easier.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/04/2021 15:06:34 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
