New Customs Procedure Codes.
ChangesNew CPC’s have been introduced to bring Belize into line with international standards. These new standards are integrated in to ASYCUDAWORLD. The old familiar codes have been integrated into the new code system.
Structure
The new structure consists of a 7-digit code. The first 4 digits can define any of the normal customs procedures that apply anywhere in the world. The other 3 digits are available for special exemptions etc. that only apply to Belize.
Extended Procedures – the first four digits
The first group of four numbers is called the Extended Procedure. It is made up of the first two digits called the requested procedure, and the next two digits called the Previous procedure. The Requested Procedure represents the customs procedure that is being asked for. The Previous Procedure represents any previous customs procedure that the goods concerned have been entered under.
For example, normal home use entries that now use the CPC C400 will under the new system, use the Extended Procedure 4000. This is broken down as follows:
Requested Procedure 40 Home use
Previous Procedure 00 No Previous procedure Other examples:
Goods entered at import into customs warehouse would be entered under extended procedure 7100.
Requested Procedure 71 Warehousing
Previous Procedure 00 No previous procedure
But, when those same goods are removed to home use they would use the extended procedure 4071.
Requested Procedure 40 Home use
Previous Procedure 71 Previously in warehouse
Note, the requested procedure becomes the previous procedure.
Additional Codes – the next three digits
The special national exemptions etc. are handled by the next set of 3 numbers. These additional codes follow as near as possible the old CPCs.
If no national procedure apply then the full CPC for a home use entry would be 4000 000. Therefore 000 signifies no national procedure.
If goods were entered for home use for resale to the government of Belize claiming Import Tax exemption they would use the full CPC 4000 402. If goods were re-imported after previous temporary exportation for repair and no repair charge has been raised they would use the full CPC 6023 602.
Model (Type) of Declaration
The Model of Declaration is simply the type of entry.
Entry types are made up of a prefix that tells whether it is an import, export or simplified entry followed by the first number of the extended procedure. For example a home use entry would be input on an IM 4 Model of Declaration.
Each individual entry may have many lines or items each with different CPCs. The entire individual CPCs must however start with the same number. It is possible for example to use CPCs 4000 401 and 4000 402 on the same IM4 entry but not 4000 401 and 7100 000 as the first numbers in the CPCs are not the same.
The following are the new codes to be used in preparing online declarations:

1 Permanent Export 2 Temporary Export 3 Re-export
4 Entry for home use 5 Temporary Import 6 Reimportation
7 Entry for customs warehousing 8 Customs Transit
