Documentation

Definition

This number is required for electronic exchange between the business party and the customs authorities, for example, EDV/ZOLL in Austria or ATLAS in Germany.
This number specifies that the goods have been imported with a valid preference document.

Example

Importing goods from Switzerland into the European Union:
If goods are imported with a EUR1 document, these goods are accepted customs-free for free movement within the EU.

Importing goods from India into the European Union:
If goods are imported with a FORM_A document (document from the general system of preferences (GSP)), a reduced tariff rate is levied as soon as the goods are accepted for free movement within the EU.
