  1. Cooperation between Statistical Offices and Customs on the preparation for the Union Customs Code Nordic meeting on Trade in Goods and Services/BoP 2014 Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, 16-18 September 2014 Søren Rich, Senior Adviser, Statistics Denmark

  2. EU’s Union Customs Code (UCC) • The Union Customs Code (UCC) was adopted on 9 October 2013 as Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 • A recast of Modernised Customs Act (Regulation Regulation (EC) No 450/2008) • MCC supposed to be in force with implementing provisions at latest at 24 June 2013 • UCC with implementing provisions will be in force in May 2016 • Finally implemented by end of 2020 (?) • First draft of UCC Delegated and Implementi​ng Acts in Spring 2014 • Second draft of UCC Delegated and Implementi​ng Acts in Autumn 2014

  3. Risk issues in UCC Some overall risk areas: • Self-assessment • Centralisedclearence • Entire new Single Administrative Document • Customs data elements – missing data or decreased coverage? Smaller or unknown risk areas: • New partner country definitions • Declaring of various goods under one TARIC/CN code • Postal consignments (postal services), shipping by courier services • Small consignments in general • Simplified declaration and supplementary declaration (potential incomplete declaration) • Customs declaration used for fiscal purposes (Intra-EU trade)

  4. Danish cooperation on UCC • Special joint working group of Statistics Denmark and Danish Customs established during the MCC implementing work in 2010/2011. • Irregular meetings • Irregular definition of members (change in staff of Customs) • But good and very valuable cooperation • Official hearing of the various provisions • Valuable but often with too short deadlines • Official ‘Customs Contact’ group consisting of Members from shipping agencies, businesses and industries

  5. Statistics Denmark’s view on UCC • Like other EU Members States (MS) we have worries about Centralisedclearence, Self-assessment and implementation of new SAD. • Currently we are reviewing the Customs data element and second draft of the implementing provisions… • … So far we have not found any serious issues. • Micro data exchange in SIMSTAT opens up for micro data exchange of customs data between statistical offices… • … but like other MS we want to ensure that customs data exchange takes place between customs authorities of the MS, not between statistical offices.
