(Main)Requirements for electronic advanced data (EDA) in postal operations, in particular compliant to security and customs requirements
Requirements for electronic advanced data (EDA) in postal operations, in particular compliant to security and customs requirements
This document provides the semantic mapping description of information on the characteristics or
attributes of Low Value Consignments (LVC) which parties in the digital commercial value chain acrossborders
are called upon to handle, compliant to the EU VAT Ecommerce Package as well as the UPU-WCO
customs model.
This document is limited to LVC, the logical definition of an electronic message, which supports the
communication of information about postal items with a unique transport unit identifier.
While different customs processes apply to LVC (goods ≤ €150), and consignments exceeding an intrinsic
value of > €150, this technical specification only applies to LVC. Therefore, it applies to the collection of
import duties (VAT) and not to customs fees.
The document defines both EDIFACT directory 00A and XML implementations to bridge in a semantic
mapping between UPU M33 ITMATT messages and the EU customs data model and its super-reduced
data set, that can be used to convey item-level data for use in customs processing applications.
The document specifies that the supply of certain attribute values, segments and tags is mandatory (M),
whilst the supply of other attributes, segments and tags is specified as optional (O).
This document separates the financial, the data-elements and the physical flow of low value
consignments. Further it defines the use of unique transport identifiers, unique transaction identifiers
and the IOSS VAT Identification number.

European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 17536:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 331 “Postal
Services”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
M548C(2016) 4876 final, and supports requirements of EU legislation, the “EU VAT Ecommerce Package”.
The development has been funded by the European Commission in Project Team D (PTD, under
CEN/TC331 WG2). This document is in line with legislation and implementing acts adopted in December
2017 and published Dec 29th, 2017 – the so called “EU VAT Ecommerce Package” (OJ L 348 of 29.12.2017
– Council Directive [EU] 2017/2455; Council Regulation [EU] 2017/2454; Council Implementing
Regulation [EU] 2017/2459).

CEN/TR 17536:2020 (E)
Introduction
CEN has been requested by the European Commission in its mandate (M/548), to develop European
standards or European standardization deliverables or where necessary to revise existing standards to
be compliant to security and customs requirements for electronic advanced data (EAD) and to promote
interoperability of parcel-delivery operations. And thereby, to contribute to promoting the creation of a
Digital Single Market for the European Union.
These deliverables shall be designed to address VAT, customs and the increased security requirements
by acknowledging the concept of electronic advance data (EAD), also referred to in other documents as
“AEI”, or advance electronic information, on postal items.
There is concern and evidence that the growing x-border Ecommerce of commercial items sent mainly
from Asia (China) to the EU / EEA does not create additional trade, but rather creates a trade diversion.
This diversion is fuelled by an unlevel playing field to the disadvantage of traders and commerce in the
EU / EEA.
The necessary adjustment, not only to re-create a level playing field, but to establish similar market
conditions for all market participants is demanded. Otherwise, VAT- and Customs- fraud, a further
increase of counterfeits, and selective access to postal tariffs at cost, will lead to a serious Ecommerce
market distortion and further damages to trade and European Ecommerce.
This mandated work item (M/548) is dedicated to the development of EAD for customs and transport
security. Its aim is to develop technical and message specifications for EAD, necessary as the EU de-
minimis exemption will be abolished Jan. 1st, 2021.
Summary of 2021 VAT regulation:
• Abolish import exemption for consignments of a value ≤ EUR 22. All distance sales from third
countries to the EU are subject to VAT upon import.
• For consignments of a value ≤ EUR 150, the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) can be used to declare and
pay the VAT
• The vendor (directly or via an intermediary) registers for the IOSS in a Member State of
Identification (MSI)
• The vendor charges the VAT to the customer at the time of supply, defined as the time when the
payment is accepted
• These consignments are VAT exempt upon import → IOSS EU VAT number to be communicated
to customs at the latest upon lodging of the import declaration
• The vendor (directly or via an intermediary) declares and pays VAT to the MSI on the basis of a
monthly One Stop-Shop VAT return; the MSI transfers the VAT to all Member States of
Consumption (MSC)
• This applies for consignments up to an intrinsic value of EUR 150 → Above this value, customs
duties are due, and a full customs declaration is required (exemption: Goods > €150 not
exceeding €1,000: designated postal operators in the MSC may use “special arrangements”
allowing a reduced - only 32 D. E. data set)
• Simplify the collection of import VAT where the IOSS is not used is possible. Special arrangements
shall be provided by the MS of importation to allow the use of simplified [customs] procedures for
monthly global declaration and payment of import VAT.

CEN/TR 17536:2020 (E)
The work is based on the EU VAT Ecommerce Package, adopted December 2017.
EU VAT Ecommerce Package consists of 3 legal acts (OJ L 348 of 29.12.2017):
a) Council Directive (EU) 2017/2455 amending Directive 2006/112/EC (the “VAT Directive”) and
2009/132/EC (“VAT Import Exemptions”)
b) Council Regulation (EU) 2017/2454 amending Regulation (EU) 904/2010 (on administrative
cooperation and combating fraud)
c) Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2459/2017 amending Regulation (EU) 282/2011 (the “VAT
Implementing Regulation”)
Based on the EU Union Customs Codex which came into force in 2013, the European Union has adopted
in the “EU VAT Ecommerce Package” regulations which will impact cross-border trade in goods between
third countries and the EU. They include:
1
1) the decision of the Member States to abolish the import VAT exemption limit as of 1.1.2021 ;
2
2) the introduction of the fully electronic CUSTOMS declaration of all consignments from 1.1.2021 , as
well as;
3) the decision that the EU has to receive advanced TRANSPaORT notification of all consignments of
3
goods from third countries, prior to shipment, from 15.3.2021 .
Together, the three measures are designed to prevent the circumvention of import VAT and customs
duties on goods imported into the EU.

1 Scope
This document provides the semantic mapping description of information on the characteristics or
attributes of Low Value Consignments (LVC) which parties in the digital commercial value chain across-
borders are called upon to handle, compliant to the EU VAT Ecommerce Package as well as the UPU-WCO
customs model.
This document is limited to LVC, the logical definition of an electronic message, which supports the
communication of information about postal items with a unique transport unit identifier.
While different customs processes apply to LVC (goods ≤ €150), and consignments exceeding an intrinsic
value of > €150, this technical specification only applies to LVC. Therefore, it applies to the collection of
import duties (VAT) and not to customs fees.
The document defines both EDIFACT directory 00A and XML implementations to bridge in a semantic
mapping between UPU M33 ITMATT messages and the EU customs data model and its super-reduced
data set, that can be used to convey item-level data for use in customs processing applications.
The document specifies that the supply of certain attribute values, segments and tags is mandatory (M),
whilst the supply of other attributes, segments and tags is specified as optional (O).
This document separates the financial, the data-elements and the physical flow of low value
consignments. Further it defines the use of unique transport identifiers, unique transaction identifiers
and the IOSS VAT Identification number.

4.1 General
The Data Mapping serves the following main purposes:
• to provide evidence that the EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM) is fully compatible with the WCO Data
Model;
• to link the data elements of the EUCDM with their corresponding data elements in the WCO Data
Model, thereby defining unambiguously the relation between Customs needs and economic
operator's data;
• in addition the EUCDM includes the data requirements as well as the relevant formats and codes that
relate to applications and decisions (Annex A of the UCC-DA and of the UCC-IA) as well as to the
registration of economic operators and other persons (Annex 12-01 of the UCC-DA and of the UCC-
IA);
• the goal is to extend the future scope of the EUCDM by supplementing its current content with
elements used for response messages and data exchange between customs authorities. The EUCDM
4
allows Member States to customise it for their national purposes in full abidance of EU Customs
provisions.

The data requirement is shown for each message variant with a column for each type of declaration for
both initial declarations.
Segments can be mandatory or conditional, signified by M or C beneath the segment name; the number
following gives the maximum occurrences possible for that segment.
4.2 Simplified procedure for the collection of import duties
For both, the IOSS and the simplified collection of import VAT where the IOSS is not used, a super reduced
data set has been specified for the use of EAD for the simplified collection of import VAT.
The unique identification of the postal item and the unique fiscal identification of the seller, when the
IOSS is used, are mandatory. The unique identification of the content related commercial transaction is
optional.
The data set defined for the simplified procedure, is a subset of the EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM). It
is therefore following the model for Customs trans-European systems such as NCTS, AES, ICS and for
Member States national customs clearance systems.

European foreword
This document (FprCEN/TR 17536:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 331
“Postal Services”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the Vote on TR.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
M548C(2016) 4876 final, and supports requirements of EU legislation, the "EU VAT Ecommerce
Package".
The development has been funded by the European Commission in Project Team D (PTD, under
CEN/TC331 WG2). This document is in line with legislation and implementing acts adopted in December
2017 and published Dec 29th, 2017 – the so called “EU VAT Ecommerce Package” (OJ L 348 of 29.12.2017
– Council Directive [EU] 2017/2455; Council Regulation [EU] 2017/2454; Council Implementing
Regulation [EU] 2017/2459).

Introduction
CEN has been requested by the European Commission in its mandate (M/548), to develop European
standards or European standardisation deliverables or where necessary to revise existing standards to
be compliant to security and customs requirements for electronic advanced data (EAD) and to promote
interoperability of parcel-delivery operations. And thereby, to contribute to promoting the creation of a
Digital Single Market for the European Union.
These deliverables shall be designed to address VAT, customs and the increased security requirements
by acknowledging the concept of electronic advance data (EAD), also referred to in other documents as
“AEI”, or advance electronic information, on postal items.
There is concern and evidence that the growing x-border Ecommerce of commercial items sent mainly
from Asia (China) to the EU / EEA does not create additional trade, but rather creates a trade diversion.
This diversion is fuelled by an unlevel playing field to the disadvantage of traders and commerce in the
EU / EEA.
The necessary adjustment, not only to re-create a level playing field, but to establish similar market
conditions for all market participants is demanded. Otherwise, VAT- and Customs- fraud, a further
increase of counterfeits, and selective access to postal tariffs at cost, will lead to a serious Ecommerce
market distortion and further damages to trade and European Ecommerce.
This mandated work item (M/548) is dedicated to the development of EAD for customs and transport
security. Its aim is to develop technical and message specifications for EAD, necessary as the EU de-
minimis exemption will be abolished Jan. 1st, 2021.
Summary of 2021 VAT regulation:
• Abolish import exemption for consignments of a value ≤ EUR 22. All distance sales from third
countries to the EU are subject to VAT upon import.
• For consignments of a value ≤ EUR 150, the Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) can be used to declare and
pay the VAT
• The vendor (directly or via an intermediary) registers for the IOSS in a Member State of
Identification (MSI)
• The vendor charges the VAT to the customer at the time of supply, defined as the time when the
payment is accepted
• These consignments are VAT exempt upon import → IOSS EU VAT number to be communicated to
customs at the latest upon lodging of the import declaration
• The vendor (directly or via an intermediary) declares and pays VAT to the MSI on the basis of a
monthly One Stop-Shop VAT return; the MSI transfers the VAT to all Member States of
Consumption (MSC)
• This applies for consignments up to an intrinsic value of EUR 150 → Above this value, customs
duties are due, and a full customs declaration is required (exemption: Goods >€150 not exceeding
€1,000: designated postal operators in the MSC may use "special arrangements" allowing a
reduced - only 32 D. E. data set)
• Simplify the collection of import VAT where the IOSS is not used is possible. Special arrangements
shall be provided by the MS of importation to allow the use of simplified [customs] procedures for
monthly global declaration and payment of import VAT.
The work is based on the EU VAT Ecommerce Package, adopted December 2017.

EU VAT Ecommerce Package consists of 3 legal acts (OJ L 348 of 29.12.2017):
a) Council Directive (EU) 2017/2455 amending Directive 2006/112/EC (the “VAT Directive”) and
2009/132/EC (“VAT Import Exemptions”)
b) Council Regulation (EU) 2017/2454 amending Regulation (EU) 904/2010 (on administrative
cooperation and combating fraud)
c) Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2459/2017 amending Regulation (EU) 282/2011 (the “VAT
Implementing Regulation”)
Based on the EU Union Customs Codex which came into force in 2013, the European Union has adopted
in the "EU VAT Ecommerce Package" regulations which will impact cross-border trade in goods between
third countries and the EU. They include:
1
1) the decision of the Member States to abolish the import VAT exemption limit as of 1.1.2021 ;
2
2) the introduction of the fully electronic CUSTOMS declaration of all consignments from 1.1.2021 ,
as well as;
3) the decision that the EU must receive advanced TRANSPaORT notification of all consignments of
3
goods from third countries, prior to shipment, from 15.3.2021 .
Together, the three measures are designed to prevent the circumvention of import VAT and customs
duties on goods imported into the EU.
The WCO-UPU Customs Model, using simplifications for the clearance of postal items, shall serve as a
model for the clearance of the Low Value Consignments (LVC), on the legal basis of a "Super-Reduced
Dataset" compared to the standard customs declaration.

1 Scope
This document provides the semantic mapping description of information on the characteristics or
attributes of Low Value Consignments (LVC) which parties in the digital commercial value chain across-
borders are called upon to handle, compliant to the EU VAT Ecommerce Package as well as the UPU-WCO
customs model.
This document is limited to LVC, the logical definition of an electronic message, which supports the
communication of information about postal items with a unique transport unit identifier.
While different customs processes apply to LVC (goods ≤ €150), and consignments exceeding an intrinsic
value of > €150, this technical specification only applies to LVC. Therefore, it applies to the collection of
import duties (VAT) and not to customs fees.
The document defines both EDIFACT directory 00A and XML implementations to bridge in a semantic
mapping between UPU M33 ITMATT messages and the EU customs data model and its super-reduced
dataset, that can be used to convey item-level data for use in customs processing applications.
The document specifies that the supply of certain attribute values, segments and tags is mandatory (M),
whilst the supply of other attributes, segments and tags is specified as optional (O).
This document separates the financial, the data-elements and the physical flow of low value
consignments. Further it defines the use of unique transport identifiers, unique transaction identifiers
and the IOSS VAT Identification number.

4 Data Mapping
4.1 General
The Data Mapping serves the following main purposes:
• to provide evidence that the EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM) is fully compatible with the WCO Data
Model;
• to link the data elements of the EUCDM with their corresponding data elements in the WCO Data
Model, thereby defining unambiguously the relation between Customs needs and economic
operator's data;
9
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
kSIST-TP FprCEN/TR 17536:2020
FprCEN/TR 17536:2020 (E)
• in addition the EUCDM includes the data requirements as well as the relevant formats and codes that
relate to applications and decisions (Annex A of the UCC-DA and of the UCC-IA) as well as to the
registration of economic operators and other persons (Annex 12-01 of the UCC-DA and of the UCC-
IA);
• the goal is to extend the future scope of the EUCDM by supplementing its current content with
elements used for response messages and data exchange between customs authorities. The EUCDM
4
allows Member States to customise it for their national purposes in full abidance of EU Customs
provisions.
The data requirement is shown for each message variant with a column for each type of declaration for
both initial declarations.
Segments can be mandatory or conditional, signified by M or C beneath the segment name; the number
following gives the maximum occurrences possible for that segment.
4.2 Simplified procedure for the collection of import duties
For both, the IOSS and the simplified collection of import VAT where the IOSS is not used, a super reduced
dataset has been specified for the use of EAD for the simplified collection of import VAT.
The unique identification of the postal item and the unique fiscal identification of the seller, when the
IOSS is used, are mandatory. The unique identification of the content related commercial transaction is
optional.
The dataset defined for the simplified procedure, is a subset of the EU Customs Data Model (EUCDM). It
is therefore following the model for Customs trans-European systems such as NCTS, AES, ICS and for
Member States national customs clearance systems.
Following the principle, that the data is provided by traders to customs authorities by means of the
different declarations and notifications defined in EU Customs legislation, the data requirements laid
down in the simplified procedure of the super reduced data-set, as well as their formats and codes are
defined in Annex B of the UCC-DA and of the UCC-IA respectively.
The EUCDM, and therefore the simplified procedure, contains the mapping of these data requirements
against the WCO Data Model. The WCO-UPU postal model shall act as the data model to map the
mandatory EC CDM data-elements.
The UCC-DA has been amended and a new Art 143a - Customs declaration for low value consignments –
and a related update in Annex B - Common data requirements for declarations, notifications and proof of
the customs status of Union goods – with a new column H7 – the Super-Reduced Dataset (SRD) has been
implemented.
Art. 143a DA legally implements a new customs declaration for low value consignments. A person
(economic operator, deemed supplier, end consumer) may lodge a customs declaration for release for
free circulation containing the dataset referred to in Annex B / new column H7 (Super-Reduced Dataset)
in respect of goods which benefit from a relief from import duty in accordance with Articles 23 to 27 of
Regulation (EC) No 1186/2009 when (a) their intrinsic value does not exceed EUR 150 and (b) those
goods are not subject to prohibitions and restrictions. Intrinsic Value for the purpose of Article 143a DA
means the transaction price of the goods, excluding any taxes and/or charges (i.e. transport).
