3 Requirement to submit exit summary declaration

(1) Except in such a situation as described in Article 2(2), where goods to which this Order applies are to be exported from Jersey to a place outside the customs territory, a safety and security exit summary declaration (“EXD”) must be prepared in respect of the goods, and submitted to the Agent at the customs office of exit, in accordance with this Order.

(2) The Agent may permit the EXD to be submitted at a customs office other than the customs office of exit, if that other office immediately makes available to the customs office of exit, by electronic communication or an equivalent means, the information contained in the EXD.

(3) An EXD must be in such form, and contain such information, as may be specified by a direction of the Agent, and in particular every form must contain a statement to the effect that submitting a form which is untrue in a material particular, including by omission, is an offence under Article 59 of the Customs Law.

(4) In any particular case the Agent may require such additional information to be provided, whether by means of the form or otherwise, as the Agent thinks necessary for the purpose set out in paragraph (5).

(5) The purpose mentioned in paragraph (4) is the purpose of ensuring that sufficient information is provided in respect of the goods to enable a safety and security risk analysis to be carried out in relation to export of the goods.

4 Person who must submit exit summary declaration

(1) The EXD must be submitted by the carrier of the goods, and for the purposes of this Order the carrier is, subject to paragraphs (2) and (3), the person who exports the goods or who assumes responsibility for the carriage of the goods out of Jersey.

(2) In the case of combined transportation, the carrier is the person who operates the means of transport which, on arrival of the active means of transport at its destination outside the customs territory, will move by itself to transport the goods beyond that destination.

(3) In the case of maritime or air traffic under a vessel-sharing or contracting arrangement, the carrier is the person who concludes a contract and issues a bill of lading or air way bill for the carriage of the goods out of the customs territory.

(4) In this Article and in Article 5 and 6, “combined transportation” refers to circumstances where goods arrive at an airport or port by a means of transport which itself is transported on an active means of transport (for example, goods arriving at a port on a lorry which is itself transported on a ship).

(5) With the carrier’s consent, an EXD may be submitted on behalf of the carrier –

(a) by the exporter, consignee or other person in whose name or on whose behalf the carrier acts; and

(b) by a person who is able to present the goods, or to enable the goods to be presented, at the customs office of exit.

5 Time limits: export by sea

(1) The time limits in this Article are subject to Article 7.

(2) Paragraph (3) applies where the first port of call after leaving Jersey, of the vessel on which goods are to leave the customs territory, is in a country or territory outside the customs territory.

(3) In a case where this paragraph applies, the EXD must be submitted no later than 2 hours before the scheduled departure of the vessel from Jersey.

(4) Where –

(a) paragraph (3) does not apply; and

(b) the goods are not containerised cargo,

the EXD must be submitted no later than 4 hours before the scheduled departure of the vessel on which the goods are to leave the customs territory.

(5) Where –

(a) paragraph (3) does not apply; and

(b) the goods are containerised cargo,

the EXD must be submitted no later than 24 hours before the scheduled departure of the vessel on which the goods are to leave the customs territory.

(6) In this Article, “vessel” includes a ship or other means of transport by sea, regardless of whether or not, in combined transportation of goods, the vessel is engaged as the active means of transport.

6 Time limits: export by air

(1) The time limit in this Article is subject to Article 7.

(2) An EXD in respect of goods leaving the customs territory by air must be submitted no later than 30 minutes before the scheduled departure of the aircraft on which the goods are to leave Jersey.

(3) In this Article, “aircraft” includes an aeroplane or other means of transport by air, regardless of whether or not, in combined transportation of goods, the aircraft is engaged as the active means of transport.

7 Time limits may be varied

In any case where the Agent considers it necessary or expedient to do so for the purpose set out in Article 3(4), the Agent may impose a time limit for submission of the EXD other than the time limit which would otherwise apply under Article 5 or 6.

8 Amendment and cancellation of exit summary declaration

(1) Subject to paragraph (2) a person who has submitted an EXD may, with the consent of the Agent, amend the EXD or any information contained in it.
