Read and translate the text

A customs warehouse means any place approved by and under the supervision of the Customs authorities where goods may be stored under the prescribed conditions. If you want to store goods in a warehouse, or if you want to remove goods from storage and use them for some other purpose, you must follow certain procedures for placement and discharge. The customs warehousing procedure is governed by the provisions of the Customs Code.

The placement procedure. When you want to store goods in a warehouse, the first step is placement. In other words, the goods must be officially brought into the warehousing system, by means of a placement declaration.

The discharge procedure. When you want to remove goods from storage, you must follow the discharge procedure. This involves submitting a new declaration to Customs. The type of declaration depends on the destination of the goods.

Regular procedure.. In the regular procedure, you fill out the declaration form, and include any other documents required, such as certificates of origin or invoices. As soon as Customs has accepted and handled the declaration, the option you have chosen will apply to your goods.

Simplified procedures. There are three simplified procedures: the incomplete declaration, the simplified declaration and the home-clearance procedure.

Incomplete declaration. You submit an incomplete declaration if you do not have all the information required when you wish to submit the declaration.

Simplified declaration. The normal procedure for declaring goods may sometimes take too long. In that case, Customs can allow you to submit a declaration in the form of a commercial or administrative document, such as an invoice, customs form or consignment note.

Home-clearance procedure. The home-clearance procedure allows you to make declarations by updating your own records. You do not have to submit a declaration or take the goods to Customs. All that is required is for you to send periodic summaries to Customs after the fact
