DMS 12 September update moves Y-codes; new export error logged
From 12 September Y-codes belong in data element 12 04 except Y128 in 12 03, and pre-lodged IM/D declarations need review. Toldstyrelsen also logged error TMA-2648 on invalidating exited export declarations.

Import declarants using DMS must place Y-codes in data element 12 04 after the service updateToldst on 12 September 2026
Toldst. The exception is Y128, the CBAM account-number code, which stays in data element 12 03.
Toldst Toldstyrelsen says declarations of types IM/A and IM/D with wrongly placed codes will fail after the change.

The change also reaches declarations lodged in advance. Where an IM/D declaration was completed before 12 September with the affected Y-codes in 12 03 and the goods are presented after the update, the GPR presentation message fails.Toldst Only that message is rejected
Toldst, so the declaration can be corrected and presented again, and it can be amended both before and after the GPR message is sent. Declarants with IM/D declarations completed before the update but presented after it should therefore correct the Y-code placement first. A declaration still uncorrected at the update produces a goods registration (vareregistrering) instead.

The DMS Export error log gained a new known errorToldst on 31 August 2026: an export declaration already marked as exited (udpasseret, TMA-2648) cannot be invalidated and stays in the exited status
Toldst. On contact, Toldstyrelsen notes in the system that the declaration should stand as invalidated and will complete the invalidation once the system allows it.
The 12 September update is also expected to fix the B2 outward-processing package-count defect: a B2 declaration currently accepts at most 8 in package count per goods item (data element 18 06 004 000), rejecting higher values with "Must be less than or equal to 8 (DK)"Toldst. Until fixed, declarants must spread goods and package counts across several goods items with no more than 8 packages each.
Toldst On the import side, the same update is expected to fix the additions-and-deductions defect where changes to data element 14 04 000 000 at header level fail to trigger a recalculation of the customs debt
Toldst: the interim response is to invalidate the declaration and submit a new one with corrected data, or to submit a correction deleting the header-level entry and placing it at item level instead
Toldst.
The current transit instructions require either the principal's EORI number or the principal's name and address details, not both.Toldst The log (TMA-2398) records a validation defect that currently accepts all those fields together without rejecting the declaration
Toldst; the stated correct completion is one of the two alternatives.

Review Y-code placement on pending import declarations before the 12 September update and use the stated workarounds for exited-export invalidation, B2 package counts and header-level additions and deductions.
