Opening a fallback procedure if the transit departure has not yet been sent

If you have not yet sent your transit declaration (New or Ready to declare status), you can open the fallback procedure in the declaration.

  1. In the open transit departure, click on the Activate fallback procedure action in the Assistant pane.
  2. In the Fallback procedure window, enter the ticket number and ticket date if you have received them from the customs authorities and click OK to proceed.
  3. “Fallback procedure” is added to the title of the transit departure. Additional notes on the fallback procedure are added to the Customs information sheet.
  4. Print fallback document: Switch to the Documents sheet and select the fallback document (FALLBACK type).
  5. Click Print/output to print the fallback document.
  6. The status of the transit declaration changes to Fallback document / Fallback document printed. The fields are now locked to prevent any additional input.
  7. The next steps vary depending on whether you are using the normal procedure or simplified procedure.

Further processing in the normal procedure

  1. Submit the transit declaration in paper format when the goods are presented at the office of departure.
  2. To complete the transit departure: To move the status of the declaration to Completed, go to the open transit departure, click on the Complete manually message in the Assistant pane, and enter any note applicable to the completion.

Further processing in the simplified procedure

In the simplified procedure (authorized consignor), it is not necessary to submit the transit declaration in paper format to the customs office of departure. The required stamps are applied to the fallback document.

To complete the transit departure: To move the status of the declaration to Completed, go to the open transit departure, click on the Complete manually message in the Assistant pane, and enter any note applicable to the completion.

Notes

If you review the stamped version of the fallback document and find that changes to the declaration data are needed, you can reset the fallback document in order to edit the transit departure fields again.

Go to the Documents sheet, right-click on the fallback document, and select Reset document. Now you can edit the declaration data. Follow the prompts of the Assistant to continue.

You can deactivate the fallback procedure as long as the fallback document has not yet been printed. Open the customs declaration. From the Assistant pane, go to the Actions group and click Deactivate fallback procedure. This also removes the additional information in the items.

At the top of the Customs declarations overview, you can set the Variant filter to Fallback procedure if you wish to display only customs declarations created in fallback procedure.
