In September 2023, there will be changes to how a missing document is provided in an import declaration

The retrospective presentation of a missing document is currently indicated in an import declaration with an additional information code as follows:

• the code “FIPTL – Authorisation for missing information”, when the declarant has the authorisation to present the document retrospectively 
• the code “FIPTP – Request for missing information”, when the declarant, in the customs declaration, requests an authorisation to present the document retrospectively.

A new additional information code will be introduced for import declarations on 2 September 2023. If the missing document is a preferential document or simultaneously both an invoice and a preferential document, always provide the additional information code “FIETU – The missing information is a preferential document”.

In future, the information on the missing document will be provided in the customs declaration in either of the following ways:

• If the missing document is a preferential document, provide – in addition to the additional information code “FIPTL” or “FIPTP – the additional information code “FIETU – The missing information is a preferential document”.
• If the missing document is an invoice not used for claiming preferential treatment, only provide the additional information code “FIPTL” or “FIPTP”.
