Customs Procedure Codes
Customs Procedure Codes (CPCs) are composed of seven (7) characters which are divided into
two parts and are the required input for the eSAD field at Box 37.
The first subdivision of the code comprises a four (4) digit numeric code which represents an
extension to the Regime Type selected at Box 1 of the eSAD.
The second subdivision is a three (3) character alpha-numeric code which identifies the tax
treatment to be applied at the commodity level, based on Customs and other National
Legislation. The latter three characters are also referred to as the Additional National Codes
(ANC) and must be used in conjunction with the procedure selected from the first subdivision.
Example: if an import declaration was being prepared for Rice under the category Food items
said taxpayer would be entitled to exemption of General Consumption Tax.
Step 1- Declarant would first select at Box 1 the Regime Type - IM4 Entry for Home Use
Step 2- Declarant would then select at Box 37 first subdivision - 4000 Commercial Import
Step 3- Followed by selecting the second subdivision at Box 37 – F09 representing a tax
treatment which exempts GCT for rice (GCT Act, T.S., Pt. 1, item 14))
