One of the most important boxes of the customs declaration is the 44 (relevant data elements ‘Additional information (2/2)’, ‘Documents produced, certificates and authorisations, additional references (2/3)’ and others), which contains the documents based on which the customs declaration is completed. It also indicates certificates, permits, and other information that we will review in discussing practical examples.
