Some Location of Goods codes for NI have been omitted from the most recent CDS update. This will affect the validation of a location code on a declaration where DE 5/23 is recognised as an NI location and the codes NIDOM and NIIMP are used.
The affected location codes are given below and cannot be used on the import declaration until further notice
| Location of Goods | Code Operator |
|---|---|
| GBAU8TNBFSFDB2 | Fedex Express UK Transportation Limited, 14 |
| Belfast Road, Nutts Corner, Crumlin, Co, Antrim BT29 4TQ | |
| GBAUBBGBELEOS1 | EOS Warehousing Limited, Unit 1, Cascum Crescent, Bridgewater Park, Banbridge BT32 4GL |
| GBAUBELBELBCT1 | Belfast Container Terminal (BCT) Limited, The Belfast Container Terminal, Herdman Channel Road, Belfast Harbour, Belfast, BT3 9AP |
| GBAUBELBELTCB1 | TCB (NI) Limited, 5 Corry Place, Belfast, BT3 9HY |
| GBAUCMLBFSLXS | Speedlink (NI) Ltd, Unit 1 Building 19, New Freight Forwarders Village, Belfast International Airport, Crumlin, BT29 4JT |
| GBAUDYLBFSAGE | A1 Global Logistics ETSF, 19 Killynick Road, Aghalene, Derrylin, Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh BT92 9HJ |
| GBAUNTABFSRXX | Schenker Limited, 5 Mallusk Drive, Newtownabbey, BT36 4GX |
| GBAUWHEBELWHE | Schenker Limited, 5 Mallusk Drive, Newtownabbey, BT36 4GX |
While HMRC work to amend the error, users are requested to use the following workaround
Where one of the affected Location of Goods codes is on the list above, declarants should use the most appropriate of the following as a workaround until HMRC advises that the situation is resolved:
- If the operator has another site in Northern Ireland with a Location of Goods code not listed above, then that code should be used instead
- If the location handles mainly maritime freight, then use Location of Goods Code GBAUBELBELBEL temporarily.
- If the location handles mainly airfreight, then use Location of Goods code GBAUBELBFSBEL temporarily.
Note: This issue does not impact declarations using either an authorisation or a Customs Warehouse ID
HMRC have apologised for any inconvenience caused and will advise when the issue has been resolved.
