Entry in Declarants Records (EIDR)

We can help support your business with EIDR

In order to take advantage of deferred entries during 2021, you will need to create an EIDR record. The purpose of this record is to enable a supplementary declaration to be submitted to HMRC within 175 days of the import date.

The easement of deferred EIDR declarations since Brexit will end on 31st December 2021. We will then move to full CFSP or normal import entries to clear goods in advance of arrival at UK ports. If you have outstanding EIDR records which need to be declared, contact us to see how we can help.

CFSP Supplementary Declarations

At Avocet Clearance we have dedicated customs software which is designed to handle CFSP supplementary declarations. We will therefore create this EIDR record for you within our software ready for supplementary declaration submission.

EIDR Record Details

The EIDR record needs to contain all the information necessary to submit the supplementary declaration, including:

Supplier details
Importer details & EORI
Currency & value
Country of origin
Tariff codes (10 digits)
Commercial invoice number
Valuation build up
Tax calculations
Method of payment

If applicable the following also needs to be included:

Preference certificate or statement
Import licence or quota
Special procedure authorisation details

EIDR Process

In order to create the EIDR record, we require details of all import movements which you would like to defer entries for, ideally at the time of the movement being confirmed. This will allow us to create a file record.

As soon as possible, we then need you to send us the commercial invoice and any other required paperwork, licences etc. This may be before or after the goods enter the UK.

As soon as we have this information we will create the full EIDR record on your behalf and email confirmation.

Intrastat

The government have confirmed Intrastat reporting will still be required throughout 2021. We expect most of our clients to continue to make these declarations directly with HMRC, but we can provide support with Intrastate reporting if required.

We do ask that we are able to reconcile your Intrastat report records with our EIDR records so we can capture any outstanding shipments. We will also send a monthly report from our system of all EIDR records created, allowing you to cross reference internally.
