BOX 31 Marks and Numbers, packages, Container Number(s), Number and Kind, Description of Goods

Refers to the representation of the cargo in the shipping documents for the purpose of identification.

Marks/Numbers (and kind) or Container numbers must be indicated in the left hand section of the box in sufficient detail to enable them to be identified. Marks/Numbers or Container numbers of the goods subject to different Commodity Codes must also be indicated in Box 31 of the riders. Type the word "same" in the rider(s) if the Marks/Numbers or Container numbers are already indicated in the main declaration. The code for types of packages is found in Annex XII.

On a multi-item declaration, total packages declared in Box 31 must equate with Total Packages as entered in Box 6. The goods described in this box must all belong to the same Commodity Code. Otherwise, each item shall be described according to the description established under CMO 46-94. If no such description is available, it shall be described in a manner prescribed by Section 1307, TCCP.

It is not recommended to copy out the full description as set out in the Tariff and Customs Code. For commodity/shipment falling under HS Code caption "Other", the subject shipment should be described in terms closely approximating the description contained in the corresponding invoice/packing list. ACOS provides for 44 characters to enable specific description of the goods. Where the Commodity Code to be used depends upon the size, weight or other physical criteria, the description should include that information too. Equally, when goods are liable to excise and/or specific duties, their description should make this clear.

BOX 32 Item No.

Enter the number of the item described in box 31 . Thus on page 1 of the declaration the item number will be '1', and on the first rider the item numbers will be '2' , '3', and '4' and so on up to 999. Items may be declared on one multi-item declaration.

BOX 33 H.S. Codes (Commodity Codes)

A)        Is the Harmonized Systems Code Tariff Heading or sub heading which applies to the item. The rules governing the location of the commodity code digits in Box 33 must be followed precisely. The entry of codes constitutes a declaration which is basic information for the assessment of import charges.

Reflect in this box the 8 digits of the code for the goods described in box 31 as set out in the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines in accordance with the directions of Title I - Import Tariff.

B)        COMBINING INDIVIDUAL COMMODITY CODES INTO ONE - UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS

In view of the need for simplified rules/procedures in the computation of duties & taxes, and in line with the Bureau of Custom's desire to facilitate legitimate trade, the following changes to current practice may, at the trading community's convenience, be adopted for assessment purposes.

Provided that they attract the same rate of duty individual items of an import entry, of up to five (5) differing commodity codes in accordance with the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines, may be declared under the one commodity code that represents the item of the highest individual value, subject to the following conditions:

Each individual item to be combined to the one commodity code must:

1.         Have a Custom Value of less than P 10,000.00.

2.         The total Customs Value of the resultant single Commodity Code must not exceed P30,000.00.

3.         Be clearly identified for appraisal purposes in box 31, 44 or the free disposal section on the reverse side of the IEIRD by way of reference to relevant items on the invoice and by reference to the relevant Commodity codes that have been combined.

NOTE:     I) Commodity codes not subject to preference claims can be combined. Commodity codes subject to preference claims can be combined BUT items subject to duty preference claims cannot be combined with those items which are not subject to preference claims.

II) Goods subject to Excise/Specific tax and/or Ad Valorem Tax cannot be combined.

In order to qualify for this provision it will be necessary to seek a continuing written authorization for specified items or one for singular use from the District Collector. A copy of the said authorization should be provided with each entry to which it is being applied with Box 44 being noted accordingly.

An example of the way in which this provision works, follows:

MOTOR VEHICLE PARTS - at Duty rate of 15%.

 

Description

Commodity Code

Value, PHP

 

 

 

Other articles of plastic; Other etc

3926.90.90

10,000.00

Pneumatic tyres, of rubber

4011.10.00

5,000.00

Leaf-springs and leaves therefore

7320.10.00

8,000.00

Other articles of iron or steel, Other etc.

7326.90.90

7,009.00

 

 

 

Total Value, PHP

 

= 30,000.00

 

In the example outlined above the resulting combination of commodity codes will have them declared under the one commodity code representing the highest individual value, i.e. 3926.90.90 at a combined declared value of P30,000.00.

C)        Tariff Specification Codes to be utilized in Box 33

Box 33 has the following configuration:

XXXXXXXX       - 8 digit H. S. code, for example 2204.21 00

XXX         - Not used. Could be used in the future if so decided by the Tariff Commission.

XXX         - Not used.

XXXX      - Not used.

XXXX      - called the Tariff Specification, not a part of the Commodity codes, but the system uses it to cater to the differing excise tax rates within the same commodity codes. For these items, system defaults it to the highest excise tax rate if left blank. Please refer to Annex XIII. Failure to indicate the proper tariff specifications shall be taken to mean the highest excise tax shall apply.

Tariff Specification codes are also used to identify specific products within a general Tariff code such as Other articles of plastic of 3926.90.90. Annex XXI also defines those specific products and their relevant Tariff Specification code.

Because of particular requirements for certain sections of the Tariff and Customs Code (TCCP), it is necessary to utilize the Tariff Specification section of this box and in particular, the last 4 digits not currently utilized. This section does not form a part of the commodity code.

BOX 34 (a) Country of Origin Code

Specific to each item, enter the code for the country of origin of the goods from the list of codes attached as Annex IV.

BOX 34 (b) Place NA

BOX 35 Item Gross Weight (kg)

Refers to the weight of the cargo for this item as declared in Box 31, including it's packing, stated in kilograms.

It is necessary to enter the Gross Weight for each item included in the Declaration. If item gross weight is available in documents, there is no need to apportion the Total Gross Weight per item. If not, it will be necessary to apportion the total gross weight per item either on the advice of the Importer or as accurately as possible so that Gross Weight of all items equals the total indicated in relevant documents. The gross weight shall be apportioned to each item according to the ratio of the customs value of the item (box 42) to the total customs value of the item (box 22).

Bow 36 Preference

Refers to the particular preference agreement, system or scheme applied. Please refer to Annex XIV.

BOX 37 Procedure

The appropriate code shall be composed of four digits. The first two digits represents the Requested Procedure, and the last two digits represents the immediately Preceding Procedure to which the importation was processed.

Please refer to Annex XVI.

One general procedure, one import declaration. For shipments covering more than one general procedure (i.e. home consumption and temporary import under bond), that shipment should be covered by the same number of import declarations. The general procedure should be the one mentioned in box 1. Please refer to Annex XVI for a list of possible Combination of Codes of Procedures for Transactions in Sequence (four digits).

The second sub-division of this box provides for a three-digit code to recognize Conditionally Free Importation like exemptions from duty, excise and / or VAT, etc. and other uses. The relevant codes to be applied for this are called additional codes and are attached as part of Annex XIX.

Entry of a Combination of Codes of Procedures for Transactions in Sequence in this box constitutes a formal declaration that the conditions of relevant law/regulations will be complied with and legally binds the person signing the declaration.

BOX 38 Item Net Weight ( kg)

The net weight is the weight of the goods including its immediate container/packing which is considered as one with the goods and part of its cost.

BOX 39 Valuation

In this. field, encode Y(es) or N(o) as per the response to the questions in the Supplemental Declaration on Valuation as to:

1)         Is the buyer and seller related?

2)         Are there any royalties/license fee paid?

3)         Are there any selling commission/brokerage fees paid?

4)         Are there any proceeds for any subsequent resale, disposal for use of the imported goods that accrues directly or indirectly to the seller?

5)         Is there an assist applied in connection with the production and sale for export of the imported goods?

Input to this box will therefore consist of a set of five letters to identify the answers to each of the above five questions found in the Supplemental Declaration on Valuation.

The declarant shall see to it that the answer in box 39 is consistent with the answer in the corresponding question in SDV. Example: YYNYN.

BOX 40a AWB/BL

Refers to the air waybill or bill of lading number.

BOX 40b Previous Document No.

To be completed in instances where this particular declaration is the result of a previous action. For instance the conversion of a Temporary Entry to a Consumption entry whereby the entry number of the Temporary Entry should be quoted. Another instance is where a Consumption Entry relates to goods previously the subject of a Warehouse Entry. In those circumstances the number of the Warehouse entry should be entered.

BOX 41 Supplementary Units

Whereas Boxes 35 & 38 provide for recording of weight, Box 41, Supplementary units provides for all forms of statistics that can include, Units, Number, Liters, Proof Liters, meters, cubic meters, etc., dependent upon the requirements of particular Commodity Codes. When the amount of duty and/or taxes is based on this quantity the exact quantity must be shown to two decimal places. Otherwise the quantity is to be shown to the nearest whole number.

To align with WTO Agreement requirements, the declaration as to Supplementary Units is mandatory.

BOX 42 Item Customs Value (F. Cur)

Refers to the value of the goods described in Box 31 in the foreign currency used in Box 22. On multi item declarations the total of all the Boxes 42 must equal the amount in Box 22.
