Outward processing lets Union goods be temporarily taken out of the Union customs territory for processing: installation, assembly or attachment; processing; destruction; repair including restoration and putting in order; and production accessories consumed in making the products (SMK 5. pants)VID. Products obtained can be released for free circulation with full or partial relief from customs payments (SMK 259. pants, PVN likuma 36. panta ceturtā daļa)
VID: full relief where goods were repaired free of charge under warranty or because of a manufacturing or material defect
VID, partial relief otherwise
VID.
An authorisation from the customs authority is required (SMK 211. pants)VID. An application for the simplified procedure with a standard customs declaration — used for repair, restoration and putting in order, except goods in Annex 71-02 to Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446
VID — is filed in EDS–EMDAS–AES
VID; paper applications are not accepted
VID. It is completed in the EMDAS AES export declaration section “Pamatnostādnes”, under “Atļaujas”, by pressing “Vienkāršotā atļauja”, with data elements “A4/9 Pārstrādes vai izmantošanas vieta” (processing address), “A4/A5 Pirmā izmantošanas vai pārstrādes vieta” (left blank), “A4/11 Procedūras noslēgšanas muitas iestāde” (office where goods return), “A Paredzamais slēgšanas datums” (date by which goods must be back with relief), “A5/5 Ieguves norma” (yield 100%), “A5/7 Pārstrādes produkti” (code and description of returning goods), “A5/8 Preču identifikācija” (identification type, e.g. serial number), “A6/2 Ekonomiskie nosacījumi” (code “2”, labošana), “A7/5 Sīka informācija par plānotajām darbībām” (scope, paid or free). The first goods item carries code “00100 - Vienkāršota atļauja” in Documents. Goods taken out for repair must be repairable
VID; the procedure is not used to improve technical parameters
VID.
An authorisation under the general procedure is applied for in the European Commission Customs Decisions SystemVID via EDS – Pieslēgties Eiropas informācijas sistēmām – Muitas lēmumu sistēma (CDS – EU Trader Portal) – Pieteikumi – Jauns pieteikums (questions: VID Muitas pārvalde, +371 67120872, +371 67120864, +371 67121012). The customs authorities set the return period for relief to apply
VID; it may be extended by the time needed to close the procedure (SMK 259. pants)
VID. Extensions take: for simplified authorisations issued before 26 September 2024, a reasoned application to the issuing office, in person or in EDS – Sarakste ar VID
VID; for those issued from 26 September 2024, an amendment application in EMDAS 2 AES with the holder's application attached
VID; for a general authorisation, amendments in the European Customs Decisions System with the closing period in months — no new declaration is drawn up
VID. Where the closing date is missed without an extension request, returning goods lose the relief
VID and the payments are due in full
VID (SMK 259. panta 3. punkts un DA 1. panta 23. punkts). Legal basis: Eiropas Parlamenta un Padomes 2013. gada 9. oktobra Regula Nr. 952/2013, ar ko izveido Savienības Muitas kodeksu (SMK 211. un 259. pants), Komisijas Deleģētā regula (ES) 2015/2446 un Īstenošanas regula (ES) 2015/2447, as set out on the VID Izvešana pārstrādei page.
File outward-processing declarations and simplified-permit applications in EDS–EMDAS–AES; apply for general-procedure authorisations in the EU Customs Decisions System via EDS, and request any closing-date extension before the deadline so the relief is not lost.
