Inward Processing in UK

Under the new Union Customs Code (UCC) and customs special procedures, you do have to be authorized to use Inward Processing. This is either Authorization by Declaration, if you only use the procedure up to 3 times a year, or Full Authorization for use of more than 3 times a year.

The UCC came into force on 1st May 2016, so authorizations for Inward processing relief that were granted prior to that date can still be used until the authorization needs renewing.
