2. Specification Codes are mandatory depending on the HS Code used.

The field will turn in red font with asterisk* (Specification Code:*) as

an indicator that this field should be compulsory filled in. For HS

Others" and must manually input the specification description in the

"Goods Description" field.

CDEC Advisory: July 2, 2020

RE: Mandatory Stoppage of Grouping Items per HS Code (Consumption)

To our valued clients,

In compliance with CMO 49-2019: Mandatory Filling-Up of

Box 41 : Supplemental Units in the Lodgment of Goods Declaration;

Section 5.6 - "In cases of multiple commodities falling under a

similar Tariff Heading, the declaration shall be itemized per

COMMODITY description.Therefore, commodities shall be declared

INDIVIDUALLY depending on the number of commodities on the

attached rider of the goods declaration."

Keypoints:

1. This shall be applicable for CONSUMPTION entries only;

2. An item in the Invoice shall occupy one item line in the CUSDEC;

3. For example, if two items in the invoice have the SAME HS Code,

the two items should NOT be grouped into one item line, they

should be declared separately;

4. Total Items in the Invoice/s should tally with the total items in the

CUSDEC.

5. For multiple invoices, each item should be declared using the correct

Invoice Number.

Compliance is highly encouraged to avoid being penalized.
