Entry in the Declarant’s Records (EIDR) is a simplified customs procedure that allows authorised economic operators to declare specific products on their premises or at an allowed location. When the customs declaration is lodged, customs authorities must access the relevant information, including a minimal number of data items. You can read the official GOV.UK EIDR guidance.
Once the goods are recorded in the declarant’s records, they are considered released. Following this, a supplementary declaration containing all the data is provided. The initial and supplementary declarations together form a single, effective instrument as of the date they are entered into the records. Businesses can use iCustoms’ UK customs declaration software to manage both initial and supplementary declarations accurately and efficiently.
