Furthermore the additional codes presented in Appendix D2 are applicable. Appendices C1 and D1) apply to the EDI transit declaration unless otherwise specified in this Appendix or in Appendix D2.\nThe detailed structure and content of the EDI transit declaration follow the technical specifications the competent authorities communicate to the holder of the procedure in order to ensure the proper functioning of the system. These specifications are based upon the requirements laid down in this Appendix.\nThis Appendix describes the structure of the information exchange. The transit declaration is organised into data groups, which contain data attributes. The attributes are grouped together in such a way that they build up coherent logical blocks within the scope of the message. A data group indentation indicates that the data group depends on a lower indent data group.\nWhen present, the appropriate number of the box on the SAD is noted.\nThe term ‘number’ in the explanation of a data group indicates how many times the data group may be used in the transit declaration.\nThe term ‘type/length’ in the explanation of an attribute indicates the requirements for the data type and the data length. The codes for the data types are as follows:\na alphabetic\nn numeric\nan alphanumeric\nThe number following the code indicates the admissible data length. The following applies.\nThe optional two dots before the length indicator mean that the data has no fixed length, but it can have up to a number of digits, as specified by the length indicator. A comma in the data length means that the attribute can hold decimals, the digit before the comma indicates the total length of the attribute, the digit after the comma indicates the maximum number of digits after the decimal point.\nTITLE II\nSTRUCTURE OF THE EDI TRANSIT DECLARATION\nA.\nTable of the data groups\nTRANSIT OPERATION\nTRADER consignor\nTRADER consignee\nGOODS ITEM\nTRADER consignor\nTRADER consignee\nCONTAINERS\nSGI CODES\nPACKAGES\nPREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIVE REFERENCES\nPRODUCED DOCUMENTS/CERTIFICATES\nSPECIAL MENTIONS\nCUSTOMS OFFICE of departure\nTRADER holder of the procedure\nREPRESENTATIVE\nCUSTOMS OFFICE of transit\nCUSTOMS OFFICE of destination\nTRADER authorised consignee\nCONTROL RESULT\nSEALS INFORMATION\nSEALS ID\nGUARANTEE\nGUARANTEE REFERENCE\nVALIDITY LIMITATION (EU)\nVALIDITY LIMITATION (NON-EU)\nB.\nParticulars on the data of the transit declaration\nTRANSIT OPERATION\nNumber: 1\nThe data group shall be used.\nLRN\nType/Length: an ..22\nThe local reference number (LRN) shall be used.
