BIFA has been notified of some forthcoming changes related to customs declaration post-clearance amendments.  

HMRC is updating the process for submitting Post-Clearance Amendments (PCAs) on import declarations.

As part of the new process, traders will be asked to provide additional evidence as part of the submission. This may include:

• Name, address and EORI of the new importer

• Explanation of reason for amendment – reason for error  

• Commercial Invoice

PCAs cannot be used to change the facts of a movement after the event and should only be used to correct genuine errors. Incorrect submissions or deliberate non-compliance will result in amendments being rejected and could lead to further compliance action.  

Traders with outstanding PCA requests will be contacted by HMRC with an update on their case.

Please do not send in duplicate requests, unless asked, as it may cause delays.

 The guidance on GOV.UK pages will be updates later this month.
