  • UTU EIDR presentation notification

UTU Import

Snag_11ffc6d

The window layout will change depending on which UTU system is selected.
The first page is very similar to ITU.

Note a new Seller field has been added under Exporter.

And a new Buyer/Tax party/IOSS field has been added under Importer.

 

Additional information regarding status 2 and 3 in Representative / Agent

Direct representation, indirect representation, and direct representation under the guarantor’s responsibility.

For UTU Import, this corresponds to options 2 and 3 in Emma, and the FITAK code added = under the guarantor’s responsibility.

In freight cost, we display the code for UTU: AK/3A/3B:

Goods item page: 

Gross weight on header or line level for Import

For import declarations, the gross weight may be provided either at header level or line level.

Warehouse releases contain only the total weight.

In cases where a warehouse at the harbour reports a single weight value, this information may be missing on the release.

If needed, you can delete the weight at line level and submit the declaration to Customs using only the header weight. The weight will then appear correctly on the release document.

47. Tax – Calculations

The tax calculations remain correct.

The VAT base field should only be completed for exceptional cases.
(Charge code 80 will still be populated and sent as before when the VAT base is entered.)

Updated layout and fields

Most information is now displayed directly on the first page of the goods item, instead of in multiple tabs at the top as in ITU.

The tabs are now located at the bottom right, covering:

  • Documents

  • Previous documents

  • Additional information

  • Charges

  • Containers

After the tariff number, additional codes can be added.
Standard codes are pre-filled by default, and you may add up to four extra codes.

To change the tariff number, double-click in the grid. This applies to all grids.

Example: To change the tariff number, double-click the area highlighted in blue:


The tariff number will then be highlighted in blue, and the line becomes editable.
