Guidance: Customs simplified procedures Aggregation Rules for CDS

1/1 1 (1) Declaration type Cannot mix IM and CO on an aggregated declaration. 1/2 1 (2) Additional Declaration type Cannot aggregate across additional declaration types. 1/10 37 Procedure All codes must apply to the goods, for example, all Inward Processing (IP) at item level.
The same Data Element (DE) 1/10 procedure code must apply to the goods being aggregated. 1/11 37 Additional Procedure All codes must apply to the goods, for example, all Community System of Duty Reliefs (CSDR) at item level.
DE 1/11 can be declared up to 99 times per item to cover single goods item scenarios. 2/1 40 Simplified declaration and previous documents DE 2/1, 4th component, goods item no. (n..3): where the previous document contains more than 999 items, this component should be left blank. The audit trail to the goods item of the previous document will be established through the declarant’s commercial records instead. 2/1 40 Simplified declaration and previous documents When aggregating across 39 DUCRs or less use the following:

SDP
• YSDE + the simplified declaration MRN
• YDCR + the DUCR used as the commercial audit trail between the simplified declaration, records and supplementary declaration
• YDCS + the DUCR part number (if appropriate)

EIDR
• YCLE + date of the EIDR entry in records followed by the goods item number if appropriate
• YDCR + the DUCR reference number used as the commercial audit trail between the EIDR entry, commercial records and the supplementary declaration
• YDCS + the DUCR part number (if appropriate)

2/1 40 Simplified declaration and previous documents If aggregating across 40 or more DUCRs use the following —

SDP
• YSDE + the simplified declaration MRN (Last MRN of the declarations being aggregated)
• YDCRAGGDUCRGB + the EORI number + a unique reference number + 1 — to provide a reference that tracks back to the record of all DUCRs aggregated across the supplementary declaration. (The DUCRs held in the records should comply with the WCO recommended format as detailed in CDS Declaration and Customs Clearance Request Instructions.)

EIDR
• YCLE + the last date of the aggregation period
• YDCRAGGDUCRGB + the EORI number + a unique reference number + 1 — to provide a reference that tracks back to records of all DUCRs aggregated across the supplementary declaration. (The DUCRs held in the records should comply with the WCO recommended format as detailed in CDS Declaration and Customs Clearance Request Instructions.)

Note: If aggregating across tax points none of the elements that affect the duty calculation may change.

2/2 44 Additional information Where an AI code requires explicit information to be declared on the declaration this cannot be aggregated, as specific information is required against the code.

Where a ‘range’ may be declared, provide a reference number that tracks back to the commercial records breakdown.
