Division 1/7 Decision taking customs authority

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The structure of the codes is the following:

  • the first two characters (a2) serve to identify the country by means of the country code as defined in Commission Regulation (EU) No 1106/2012,

  • the next six characters (an6) stand for the office concerned in that country. It is suggested that the following structure be adopted:

    The first three characters (an3) would be taken up by the UN/LOCODEf1 location name and the last three by a national alphanumeric subdivision (an3). If this subdivision is not used, the characters ‘000’ should be inserted.

Example: BEBRU000: BE = ISO 3166 for Belgium, BRU = UN/LOCODE location name for the city of Brussels, 000 for the unused subdivision.
