MODCBR - CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 3.18 The weight or the number of packages of the item on the declaration can be reduced. The B/L will now  become  partially  written-off.  This  is  a  two-stage  process.  Firstly,  the  weight  or  number  of packages is adjusted and brought back to the original amount then this value is decreased by the amount specified in the post-entry. Post Entry Amendment on Suspense Declarations The impact of post-entry on warehouse, temporary admission and temporary export declarations is practically transparent to the user. However post-entry modification or cancellation of declarations of this type leads to a large number of internal checks and processing. Amendment Into Warehouse Declarations When carrying out a post-entry adjustment on a declaration, the aim is to ensure that the amounts, quantity   or   weight,   already   written-off   on   the   original   declaration   are   also   written   off   by   the amended declaration. To do this, the original version of the declaration is artificially written-off and the amounts already really written-off for each item of that declaration are stored. The system attempts to match these stored amounts against the amended version of the declaration. If the matching is successful then the  post-entry  is  accepted,  otherwise  the  post  entry  is  rejected  and  the  previous  version  of  the declaration remains unchanged. It  is  not  possible  to  add  or  to  delete  an  item.  However  the  change  of  order  of existing items is allowed. You cannot change the Commodity Code, Company code, Country code or Tariff specification code when carrying out a post-entry amendment. Out of Warehouse Declarations In this case the aim is to reverse the quantities or weights already written off. All the quantities or weights written off on the original into warehouse declaration(s) are reversed. The system attempts to write off the amended version of the declaration against the original into warehouse declaration(s). If the process is successful then the post-entry is accepted, otherwise the post entry is rejected and the previous version of the declaration remains unchanged. Into Temporary Admission and Temporary Export Declarations When carrying out a post-entry on an entry for temporary admission or temporary export, the aim is to write off on the amended version of the declaration the quantities or weights already written-off against the original version of the declaration. To do this, the current version of the declaration is stored in order to update it with the amended version of the declaration. It is possible to delete an item that has not been written off, or to add a new item. It is also possible to change the item order.  With each product or item, a check is made to see that the new quantity or weight is sufficient to cover the amount already written-off. A product is identified by Commodity Code, Company code, Country code and Tariff specification code. If the process is successful then the  post-entry  is  accepted,  otherwise  the  post  entry  is  rejected  and  the  previous  version  of  the declaration remains unchanged. Out of Temporary Admission and Temporary Export Declarations When carrying out a post-entry amendment to an out of temporary admission or temporary export declaration,  the  system  reverses  all  the  quantities  or  weights  already  written  off  by  the  original version  of  the  declaration.  Once  this  is  done  the  normal  write-off  procedure  is  executed  with  the amended version of the declaration.  If the process is successful then the post-entry is accepted, otherwise it is rejected and the previous version of the declaration remains unchanged.
