In Annex 30a of Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93, in Section 4, ‘Data elements explanatory notes’, the third paragraph of the data element explanatory note ‘Consignor’‘Entry summary declarations’ is replaced by the following:

‘ Entry summary declarations:

This information takes the form of the consignor EORI number whenever this number is available to the person lodging the summary declaration.

Where facilitations are granted in the framework of a third country traders’ partnership programme which is recognised by the Union, this information may take the form of a third country unique identification number which has been made available to the Union by the third country concerned. That number may be used whenever available to the person lodging the summary declaration.

The structure of the number is as follows:

Field	Content	Field type	Format	Examples
1	Identifier of the third country (ISO alpha 2 country code)	Alphabetic 2	a2	US JP
2	Unique identification number in a third country	Alphanumeric up to 15	an..15	1234567890ABCDE AbCd9875F pt20130101aa

Examples: “US1234567890ABCDE” for a consignor in the US (country code: US) whose unique identification number is 1234567890ABCDE. “JPAbCd9875F” for a consignor in Japan (country code: JP) whose unique identification number is AbCd9875F. “USpt20130101aa” for a consignor in the US (country code: US) whose unique identification number is pt20130101aa.
