Customs Procedure Codes

Customs Procedure Codes (CPC’s) identify the customs regimes to which goods are being entered and from which they have been removed (when this applies). The lists of Customs Procedure Codes have been complied from lists supplied by national administrations and represents procedures applicable throughout the O.E.C.S. region.

The Structure of the Codes:

The code consists of two parts. The first identifies the regime e.g. Imports, Exports, Warehousing for which the goods are entered and the second part further identifies how the goods are to be processed within the regime.

The codes used are made up from an alphabetic character and three numeric characters. The alphabetic characters are C, E and S and represent:

C = Goods for Consumption (Import)

E = Goods for Export

S = Goods entering a duty/tax Suspense regime.

The first of the numeric characters comes from the list:

     

Outright exportation
Temporary exportation
Re-exportation
Home Use
Temporary importation
Re-importation
Customs warehousing
Transit
