EMCS 4.1 update
This update brings significant changes that are set to enhance the interface between EMCS and the Automated Export System (AES), streamlining these excise procedures.
✨ Key Transformations:
- Mandatory ARC Codes: Under EMCS 4.1, it's now mandatory for export accompanying documents to incorporate Unique Administrative Reference Codes (ARC numbers).
- Precise Declarations: Export accompanying documents are now required to precisely specify the shipment's product in box 17a.
- Enhanced Cross-Checking in AES: EMCS 4.1 introduces a groundbreaking change as the cross-check process shifts from PLDA to the AES system. This means that the AES system will now conduct cross-checks to verify the accuracy of HTS codes and net mass in export declarations.
- EIDR Takes Over: The 'local clearance procedure' has evolved into the 'Entry in the Declarant’s Record (EIDR)' in line with UCC legislation.
- Messaging Improvements: Modified messages within AES and the introduction of new messages like IE829 and IE839 enhance communication and provide status updates for export declarations.
