Documents & conditions (EU)
The full set of EU document conditions for this code. Which ones actually apply depends on the specific measure and the origin of the goods — pick what applies to your consignment. Import scenario.
| Code | Document / description | Source |
|---|---|---|
| C400 | Presentation of the required "CITES" certificate | EU from feed SE_TULLVERKET |
| Y900 | Declared goods do not belong to the Washington Convention (CITES) | EU from feed SE_TULLVERKET |
Documents to choose between
These measures are answered with one document from each group — either the certificate, or a declaration that the act does not apply to the goods. Giving two from one group is a contradiction and customs rejects the entry.
