Entering Goods into a Free Zone

Please note that Free Zones will not be available within the UK with effect from July 2012.

If you wish to obtain benefits similar to those under the Free Zone arrangements you are advised to consider customs warehousing arrangements.

Non-Community goods can be entered into a Free Zone in a number of ways:

directly from import

from Community Transit (CT)

from a Customs warehouse

following Inward Processing (IP)

following Processing under Customs Control (PCC)

after a claim for duty relief on rejected imports has been approved

after temporary import

You need to comply with the relevant transfer procedures for each customs procedure. Volume 3 of the Tariff contains the full list of customs procedure codes (CPCs) for each option.

Goods can also be returned to a Free Zone after they have been temporarily removed, or if they are being transferred from a different Free Zone (in the UK or another European Community country).

If you want to bring non-Community goods (those from outside the European Union) into a Free Zone, you will need a Customs declaration.

To enter goods to the Free-Zone procedure using the normal arrangements, you must declare the goods for entry to Free Zone on the Single Administrative Document C88. It's particularly important to complete boxes 8 (with trader/Free-Zone manager identity and/or address, consignee and number as appropriate), 30, 31, 37 and 49.

Box 37 includes a seven-digit CPC indicating where the goods are coming from.

A third party such as an agent or freight forwarder can enter goods into a Free Zone on your behalf. You must give them clear written instructions.

If authorised to use Customs Freight Simplified Procedures (CFSP) you may also use CFSP to enter goods into the Free Zone.

Once goods are released from Customs, you should take them directly to the Free Zone as soon as possible. You need to give a copy of the Customs declaration to the manager of the Free Zone, who will record the details in the Free-Zone manager's records. Any discrepancies between the quantities of goods declared and actually received should be resolved within 14 days.
