By attached letter (in Dutch), customs want to draw your attention on ECS/2 for:
- Return shipments from GHA to agent
- Receiving ‘Confirmation Handling’ messages via e-mail
- Return shipments from GHA to agent
In a communication at the beginning of 2022, customs and ACB already informed you about the way Transfers from GHAs to agents in case shipments need to return, should be handled.
Customs wants to remind you on the way of working.
If a Transfer is being sent from a GHA to an agent, agents should be able to accept the Transfer by a Confirmation Handling message.
Only then, the goods are back under the responsibility of the agent and it will become possible to move on with the goods.
Technical specifications of this message are available here: Actueel | FOD Financiën (belgium.be)
- Receiving ‘Confirmation Handling’ messages via e-mail
Agents that want to get a copy of the Confirmation Handling (the follow-up message GHAs are sending to customs as an acceptance of the Transfer), are offering this possibility via e-mail.
To receive a copy of these messages, agents should deliver an e-mail address together with the company name and EORI-number to thomas.van.asch@aircargobelgium.be before 28/02/2023.
Be aware that the e-mail addresses will be uploaded in bulk in PLDA, there will not be offered the possibility to upload an additional e-mail address after 28/02/2023.
In case of questions, do not hesitate to contact Klara Pasgang: klara.pasgang@minfin.fed.be.
