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.
To enter non-Community goods into a Free Zone, you have to complete the Single Administrative Document (SAD) also known as form C88. This contains details about your goods and is used to convey key information when goods are entered into and removed from the Free Zone. Customs Procedure Codes (CPCs) recorded in the SAD indicate the customs procedure relating to the goods.
The following sections of the SAD are particularly important:
Box 8 contains details of whoever will place the goods into the Free Zone. In some cases, this can be the manager of the Free Zone.
Box 30 contains the location code of the Free Zone.
Box 31 contains a description of the goods. This description must be detailed enough to allow someone to identify the goods, and should include the container numbers if your goods are in containers.
Box 37 contains a CPC in the 78 series. The CPC you use is dependent on whether your goods are coming from outside the European Community or from another customs procedure.
Box 49 Enter type Z followed by the 7-digit authorisation number of the Free Zone Operator followed by country code GB.
