AND USE-CASE MODELS
Ref: PHASE V
2.4 Common Domain (only for EU-EFTA communication)
The respective parts of CDPS (NCTS, AES-ECS, AIS-ICS) will use the existing Common Domain for the
electronic transfer of data between customs offices.
The NCTS shall cover the common transit of goods transported from one contracting party of the
Convention on a common transit procedure 15 via or into another contracting party – EU or EFTA country
(direct transit). The NCTS shall also cover the common transit of goods transported from one contracting
party of the Convention on a common transit procedure 15 through third country (neither EU nor EFTA
country) via or into another contracting party – EU or EFTA country (indirect transit). The core element of
the NCTS shall be the information exchange in the Common Domain between the office of departure, the
office of destination, the office of transit and office of guarantee to:
• verify at the office of guarantee whether a declared guarantee is valid, can be used by this principal, has
sufficient amount of reference amount before the release of goods for common transit regime at the
office of departure (where the office of guarantee and the office of departure are located in different
countries);
• tie up the security amount of the used guarantee at the office of guarantee for goods for which common
transit formalities have been completed at the office of departure (where the office of guarantee and the
office of departure are located in different countries);
• inform the office of destination of the anticipated arrival of goods for which common transit formalities
have been completed at the office of departure;
• inform the office(s) of transit of the anticipated transit of goods for which common transit formalities
have been completed at the office of departure;
• handle diversions (change of office of transit or destination);
• inform the office of departure of presenting of goods at office of transit;
• inform the office of departure of delivery of goods at office of destination;
• inform the office of departure of control results;
• inform the office of guarantee of discharging the common transit regime; and
• handle discrepancies.
The AES-ECS shall cover the export of goods transported from one EU member state (office of export) via
another EU member state (office of exit) – indirect exportation. Taking into account that national customs
administration will develop functions for both office of export and exit, direct exportation is implicitly
covered by the system, as is the re-exportation of non-Community goods, in circumstances where an export
or summary declaration is required. The core element of the ECS shall be the information exchange in the
Common Domain between the office of export and the office of exit to:
• inform the office of exit of the anticipated arrival of goods for which export formalities have been
completed at the office of export;
• handle diversions;
• inform the office of export of confirmation of exit and/or control results including the date of exit from
the customs territory of the European Union; and
• handle partial and consolidated shipments.
The AIS-ICS shall cover the export of goods transported into one EU member state (office of import) via
another EU member state (office of entry) – indirect importation. Taking into account that national customs
administration will develop functions for both office of import and entry, direct importation is implicitly
covered by the system in circumstances where an import or entry summary declaration or summary
declaration is required. The core element of the AIS-ICS shall be the information exchange in the Common
Domain between the office of entry and the office of import:
• inform the office of first entry of the anticipated arrival of goods with entry summary declaration;
• inform the office of entry (first and subsequent) of the arrival of goods with the arrival notification;
• handle diversions;
• inform the office of subsequent entry of risk profiles linked to the goods with entry summary declaration.
