1. Customs Modernisation Release - Requirements to facilitate Customs Security (provisional payment), Penalty and Forfeiture lodgement

Expected date for Declarant Testing 2015.10.19

Expected date for Implementation TBD

Abstract Brief Description

SARS Customs is automating its transactional ‘Security’ (provisional payment) requirements that will also be included within the CUSDEC message format. This not only eliminates a separate paper transaction (DA70) but will allow full automation and end-to-end management of Customs’ security requirements.

The scope of this requirement includes pre and post declaration “security”, as well as “penalty” and “forfeiture” amounts.

To this end the following data fields will become mandatory when declaring security payments to Customs.

Detail Scope Description and Impact

1. The additional data fields are required for inclusion in the Customs declaration message (CUSDEC). The following will be applicable in respect of ‘security’ for Import and Export declarations.

Data Field Description Location Remarks

Duty tax type/amount Line Current fields on CUSDEC. The following types will be activated: PPA – Anti Dumping duty PPC – Countervailing duty PPG – Safeguard duty PPT – Temporary Import PPR – Conditional Release PPE – Embargo Release PEN – Amount for Penalty FOR - Amount for Forfeiture

2. New CUSRES Status Codes contemplated for implementation to facilitate security, penalty and forfeiture payments filed on customs declarations.

for extension, or for embargo release)48 Provisional Payment Expired49 Provisional Payment Liquidated

3. Synopsis of the ‘new’ Security, Penalty and Forfeiture payment processThe submission of Provisional Payments on a declaration creates a Provisional Payment Case number which will be linked to the declaration. Where a customs security is required as a result of an intervention, a Provisional Payment and inspection case number is created.

The declaration payment method rules remain the same, i.e. Declarants declare D or V should they require deferment of duties/Vat, however any PP amount will be billed and paid via cash only.

General Rules

The following is a list of general principles/rules which should be followed when lodging security payments, penalties and forfeiture to SARS.

Rounding off of amounts Provisional Payment covering Duties and VAT are calculated to the nearest cent. Provisional Payments covering possible Penalties and Forfeiture are calculated

to the nearest Rand. Declaration of PP detail

All amounts to be declared in respect of PP’s must be declared on line level except in the case of PPE where the PP detail must only be declared on the first line. In this case line 1 may only be cancelled with the liquidation of the PP.

Registration of PP’s One PP will be registered per PP type per declaration. In respect of PPA, PPC and PPG amounts will be per applicable tariff heading.

Provisional Payment Number SARS will automatically allocate a provisional payment number for provisional

payment lodged. If there is more than one payment type involved a Provisional Payment Number will be allocated per payment type. See the following example of CUSRES message –ERR2 00010000PPNo: 100361352 for Type: PPT Amount: 155.54

Supporting Documents for Provisional Payments It is recommended that (for the interim) that Code “OTH” (Other) be used when

submitting any documents in support of provisional payments. Kindly refer to Code List 23 - Supporting documents appended as Annex C.

Penalties on VAT – Trader Initiated VOCs For trader initiated VOCs where an underpayment of VAT is applicable, a 10%

7

penalty must be calculated by the declarant and included as a PEN. (This is in terms of the VAT Act). This is confirmed as VAT Division’s position. And there is no minimum amount applicable for penalty calculations.

Declaration of PP detail on VOC’s Once a CUSRES 45 or 49 is received on a Provisional Payment Number, it means

that the PP has been finalised thus the detail of such PP must not be declared on any VOC subsequently submitted. This will allow the processing of VOC’s as per normal after the PP is finalised.

CUSRES 49 will also be forwarded to the trader if the money lodged on the PP is liquidated to revenue.

Bill of entry lines may not be cancelled if a PP in respect of “PEN” and “FOR” has not been finalised.

The PPS and PPR codes currently in additional information of a declaration will remain as such for now for possible use with “in bond removal “surety although it will not form part of the declaration based Provisional Payments. SARS will still allow the manual registration of such PP’s.

Declaration based Provisional Payments Scenarios

A. Provisional Payments made at time of original declaration i. Goods temporary admitted (Temp. import) -

Rebate Item 470.02, 480.00, 490.00, as per Schedule 4, Part 3 of the Customs & Excise Tariff;

Applicable CPCs A12 (470.02), D35, D37 and J80 (470.02).ii. Provisional payment in relation to Sch. 2 items (Anti-dumping, countervailing

or safeguard duties)iii. Conditional release of repetitive imports of goods requested due to a long

standing unresolved dispute over Tariff or valuation also where a Declarant is not able to make “due entry” lacking certain info, e.g. goods supplied on consignment where the correct value cannot be determined at time of declaration.

Process for Temporary Import security payments (i) Goods temporary imported (Duty Type PPT)

a. The Declarant submits an original declaration for goods which requires a provisional Payment to be made.

b. In addition to the normal declaration data the Declarant must complete the new duty/tax type (PPT), and amount, for security as a deposit on the declaration.

c. The amount of the Provisional Payment must cover the possible difference in duties/VAT declared versus what is required when duties are paid.

d. The Declarant submits the declaration (CUSDEC) via EDI. Inserting duty type PPT and PP amount requesting a release.

e. Once accepted the Declarant receives a CUSRES 7 message which includes

8

a Payment Reference Number (PRN) to enable payment of the deposit in cash. (No security deposits on deferment are currently allowed).

f. After payment confirmation has been received by SARS the Declarant will receive a CUSRES 1/CN1 message confirming the Provisional Payment reference (case) number linked to the LRN. The condition/s for making the security payment and PP expiry date will also be communicated to the declarant via the CUSRES message.

Example:“ERR2 00011204PPTR1 - Provisional Payment lodged to cover duties and VAT on goods temporary admitted under rebate pending production of proof of export of the goods, originally imported, within 180 days OR pending the production and processing of an amendment. ERR2 00010000PPNo: 100361352 for Type: PPT Amount: 155.54ERR2 00010000PPExpiry Date: 2015.05.25”

Process for Schedule 2 security payments (ii) Provisional Anti- Dumping Duty, (Duty Type PPA)

One Provisional Payment is made per tariff code on the declaration for which provisional Anti-dumping is due.

Provisional Countervailing duty ( Duty Type PPC) One Provisional Payment is made per tariff code on the declaration for which provisional Countervailing is due.

Provisional Safeguard duty (Duty type PPG) One Provisional Payment is made per tariff code on the declaration for which provisional Safeguard Duty is due.

a. The Declarant submits the declaration (CUSDEC) via EDI.b. Once accepted the Declarant receives a CUSRES 7 message which

includes a Payment Reference Number (PRN) to enable payment of the deposit in cash.

c. After payment confirmation has been received by SARS the Declarant will receive a CUSRES 1/CN1 message confirming the Provisional Payment reference (case) number linked to the LRN. The condition/s for making the security payment and PP expiry date will also be communicated to the declarant via the CUSRES message.

d. The Provisional Payment detail will be sent to the declarant with a CUSRES ‘1’, CN1 message in the err section.

Process for Conditional Release (PPR) security Payments (iii) Application for conditional release. (Duty Type PPR) at time of declaration.

One Provisional Payment per declaration is made for a conditional release at time of declaration. Although a single Provisional Payment is made per declaration for conditional release, Provisional Payment details must be

9

recorded against the affected lines of a declaration.

a. The Declarant submits an original declaration for goods which requires a provisional Payment to be made.

b. In addition to the normal declaration data the Declarant must complete the new duty/tax type (PPR) and amount, for security as a deposit on the declaration;

c. The amount of the Provisional Payment must cover the possible difference in duties/VAT declared and amounts payable. (Amount Underpaid)

d. The declaration will be validated and if accepted the Declarant will receive a CUSRES 7 message. ”ready for cash payment”.

e. A request for a conditional release, by the Declarant, is submitted as a supporting document uploaded to the inspection case using easy-scan.

f. The Declarant receives a CUSRES 13 message to submit supporting documents.

g. Once the inspection officer approves the release a conditional release message a CUSRES 3 will be forwarded to the Declarant including a message with the conditions for the release.

B. Provisional Payments requested to be made as a result of a Customs inspection .A declarant may request release of goods as a result of a Customs intervention.

i. Conditional release of goods detained or stopped.ii. Embargo release of goods stopped for physical inspection.

Process for a Conditional release (PPR) as result of a Customs intervention (i)a. The Declarant receives a CUSRES 13/26 message to submit supporting

documents.b. A request for a conditional release, by the Declarant, is submitted as a

supporting document uploaded to the inspection case using easy-scan.c. If the request is approved a “request amendment” CUSRES 26 message (See

note below), will be sent to the Declarant to enable the submission of a declaration amendment (VOC) for such Provisional Payment.

d. The Declarant submits a VOC adding duty type PPR and PP amount.e. The VOC will be validated and if accepted the Declarant will receive an

“Accept Amendment” CUSRES message 27 and a “ready for Payment” CUSRES 7 message including the PRN for payment of the PP.

f. Once payment confirmation has been received a conditional release message CUSRES 3 will be forwarded to the Declarant including a message with the conditions for the release, Provisional Payment Number and Expiry date.

g. In the scenario of conditional release, the inspection case will be closed, to allow the Declarant to pass VOC’s and/or liquidation requests.

Process for Embargo (PPE) release of goods stopped for physical inspection (ii)One Provisional Payment is made per declaration for Embargo release.An embargo PP amount is currently a standard amount R5000, per application/declaration and must be inserted on line 1 of a declaration.a. During a document inspection, the inspection status is upgraded to a physical

exam and the Declarant receives a CUSRES 2 message.b. The Declarant may request a release of such goods, under embargo, by

submitting an application, as a supporting document, uploaded to the inspection case using easy-scan.

c. If the application is approved a CUSRES 26 “request adjustment” is sent to the

11

Declarant, including the amount required, in order for the Declarant to add duty type” PPE” and amount to a VOC.

d. Once the VOC is accepted, a CUSRES 7 is sent, with PRN to the Declarant to make payment.

e. On payment received, a CUSRES 46 message, “Embargo Release Granted”, is sent to the Declarant including the Provisional Payment case number expiry date and PP conditions.

C. Provisional Payments required for contraventions, as possible Penalties (PEN) and Forfeiture (FOR).One Provisional Payment is made per declaration for possible penalties and forfeiture. Amounts payable rounded off to the nearest Rand only

Process for lodging penalty and forfeiture paymentsa. The Declarant receives a “request amendment” CUSRES 26 message which

includes a deposit request for a contravention, penalty and/or forfeiture. The message will include the details of the contravention and amounts to be deposited.

b. The amendment is made on the declaration and the required Provisional Payment is made, as part of the same declaration, by inserting the duty type PEN or FOR as the Duty type and amount

c. The Declarant will upload a prescribed declaration in terms of Section 91 of the Customs and Excise Act, using easy-scan, to the inspection case.

d. Once the amendment is accepted a payment reference number will be provided to the Declarant to enable cash payment of the Provisional Payment CUSRES 7.

e. When declaring deposits for contraventions, the inspection case is closed once payment has been made and the goods released. A CUSRES 27 will be sent to the declarant reflecting PEN or FOR details.

f. The declarant may disagree with the changes, and/or penalties and require conditional release as described above.

h. Note : When receiving a “request amendment” request CUSRES 26, the following options may be exercised: The Declarant agrees with all the changes and applies the changes

(including any Penalties requested) and select change Acknowledgement indicator 1 in the subsequent customs requested VOC.

The Declarant disagrees with the changes and penalties, but wants release of goods and applies for a conditional release by submitting a supporting document via Easy Scan. The declarant receives a new “Request Adjustment” message to indicate the amount required for security for the conditional release. The Declarant submits the customs requested VOC, without making the changes; however they must add the PPR PP amount to get release, and select the Change Acknowledgement

12

Indicator 3 to indicate the disagreement, but requests release. If the declarant agrees with the changes, but disagrees with the penalties

they should submit the customs requested VOC, selecting change Acknowledgement indicator 2, apply the other changes requested but leave off the PEN. The VOC is routed back to the inspection case for approval and release without a PP being lodged. The case is closed.

i. Period within which a penalty/forfeiture payment should be finalised – currently it is 30 days – will be extended to a time period to be advised in due course. This is to make adequate provision for the depositor to make submission of mitigating factors before finalisation of the PP.

D. Application for liquidation by a Declarant

Process for application for liquidation of security paymenta. Once the Declarant has complied with the conditions of a Provisional

Payment the Declarant should apply for liquidation of the Provisional Payment.

b. Application is done by submitting an amendment declaration amending the original Provisional Payment amount (i.e. the payment tax type and amount) on the declaration - in most cases by removing the PP duty type from the declaration. In the case of Part PEN/FOR liquidation the remaining PEN/FOR amount as communicated in a CUSRES 31 is to be declared.

c. Once application has been submitted the Declarant will receive a message to submit supporting documents CUSRES 13. Supporting documents relating to the compliance of the Provisional Payment conditions must be uploaded referencing the Provisional Payment case for verification.

d. Once the application for the liquidation request has been accepted a CUSRES 49 message is sent to the Declarant.

E. Application for Extension of time limit for Security Process for requesting an extension of time limita. A Declarant may, before expiry thereof, apply for extension of the time

period, within which the condition of a Provisional Payment must be complied with.

b. Application for extension is made by the Declarant submitting a prescribed application including supporting documents, using Easy Scan, referencing the Provisional Payment number.

c. The outcome of the application will be communicated by a CUSRES message 44 “Provisional Payment Extension Request granted” or CUSRES 47 “Provisional Payment request Rejected” to the Declarant.

d. Declarants will also receive CUSRES messages as reminders to follow up outstanding Provisional Payments, before expiry of a Provisional Payment. CUSRES 42 “Provisional Payment Expiry reminder”

13

F. Registering an Appeal

Process for registering a motivated appeala. If a Declarant lodged a Provisional Payment to cover a contravention and or

forfeiture and also lodged an appeal against such, the Declarant may register the appeal lodged, by referencing the Provisional Payment number , appeal number and date, to ensure that the Provisional Payment cannot be liquidated unless the appeals process have been finalised.

b. A notice to register the appeal must be submitted by scanning prescribed supporting documentation to the Provisional Payment number, using Easy scan. The Declarant will receive CUSRES 43 message confirming the appeal activation on the Provisional Payment register. The current process of lodging an appeal against penalties and forfeiture by submitting a DA51 must still be followed.

c. If the appeal is rejected (not accepted after due consideration) the PP will be liquidated to SARS and the trader will receive a CUSRES 45. The trader will also receive a letter from SARS Appeal’s Committee in this regard.

d. If the appeal was successful the trader will receive a letter from SARS in this regard. An amendment VOC requesting liquidation must be submitted which will be routed for inspection. If accepted the trader will receive a CUSRES 27 and a CUSRES 49.

2. Customs Modernisation Release – Manifest Processing (MPR)

Expected date for Declarant Testing 2015.10.19

Expected date for Implementation TBD

Abstract Brief Description

SARS is presently migrating its cargo reporting system to a new hardware platform. The purpose of this is to enable this functionality for future migration in line with the new Customs Control Act. The reporting of conveyances, cargo and outturn reports is therefore dealt with under the banner of Manifest Processing or MPR.

Detail Scope Description and Impact

1. Cargo CUSRES message to include (for road modality) and enhanced arrival management process - Add new field “CARN” (Cargo reference number) to CUSRES.

Note:o The CARN (Customs Assigned Reference Number) is assigned to a CUSCAR

AFTER Successful validation for MESSAGE FUNCTION = 9 (Original).o CARN number will be included in the CUSRES message back to the sender.o For amendment and cancellation of a CUSCAR, the original CARN number can be

referenced in the amended/cancellation CUSCAR. Add new CUSRES status codes for both Cargo and Declaration.

Status Code 40 Entry Arrival NotificationStatus Code 41 Entry Exit Notification

Refer also to SARS CUSRES ZA DMG v20 (Data Mapping Guide) – included a new:o Reference Qualifier to the RFF Segment - “AFB = Cargo manifest number”, and ao Reference number CARN (Cargo Reference Number).

2. To support MPR and electronic acquittal of manifests – Refer to the following updates to the manifest CUSCAR message are indicated in

the SARS CUSCAR ZA DMG v23c (Data Mapping Guide) as follows –o A new document type EDI ID – “10 = AQM - Acquittal Manifest”o A new BGM segment Document/message type – “AQM = Acquittal Manifest”o A new RFF segment qualifier – “ABT = Customs declaration number” as

reference to CARN.o A new GIS segment processing qualifiers for –

4 = Goods released

15

7 = Goods detained 8 = Goods may move under Customs transfer (Customs Intervention) ZSW = States Warehouse ZOT=Other

For AQM development: Users/developers must also take note of the new requirement (Start Group 5) referenced in the CUSCAR DMG as well as the Branching Diagram for CUSCAR that - Group 5 to be repeated for each LRN (i.e. one LRN per each occurrence of Group 5).

ANNEX A – Customs Status Codes (Code List 14)Customs Status Codes were introduced to provide increased visibility of declarations while under Customs’ processing. Each inbound electronic submission (CUSDEC) to Customs will result in one or more status response (CUSRES) messages. Why status response messages? For one, increased mechanisation means less physical contact or interaction with Customs. Status messages therefore help to provide declarants and other operators in the supply chain with up-to-date information regarding the processing of their transactions. Status Codes also assist the Declarant in pre-empting the next step so as to expedite the clearance process.
