Save on duty costs with automated, inventory-managed customs procedures, like Customs Warehousing, Inward Processing, Outward Processing, End Use, Temporary Admission, and Temporary Storage.
To promote economic activity, many countries offer the possibility of suspending or drawing back customs duties by means of authorisations for the storage and processing of goods. These authorisations are called ‘Special Procedures’ in the Union Customs Code (UCC) and include Inward Processing Relief (IP), Outward Processing Relief (OP), Customs Warehousing (CW), End Use, Temporary Admission, and VAT Warehousing.
While Special Procedures can provide significant cost savings, advanced administration capabilities are required in order for customs authorities to grant authorisations. This includes keeping real-time records of stock balances and providing reporting to customs authorities—tasks that require a software solution to effectively manage. The CAS Special Procedures module is a fully compliant digital solution that allows you to implement and manage the most complex inventory-managed customs procedures and produce the required reports and declarations at the touch of a button. Details such as keeping track of free and bonded stocks, stock movements, and stock records per authorisation and storage location are tracked and documented,
satisfying the requirements of customs authorities.
Watch this 3-minute video to find out more about different types of Special Procedures.
Take advantage of special duty regimes that allow you to store, temporarily use, process, or repair your goods and get either suspension or partial or complete relief from import duty. The use of Special Procedures can be particularly beneficial for companies dealing with processing, distribution, and other manufacturing activities that are subject to high duty rates.
CAS supports the additional administration requirements of customs authorities in order to obtain authorisations and use Special Procedures, including:
Delivery of chronological recording of the products to be processed to the processor
Conversion statements from unprocessed to processed
Statement sheets with a comparative view of the respective quantities of imported goods versus those re-exported after processing to track the imported and exported stock balances
Stock records kept up to date in real time, reflecting the situation on the ground
Detailed reporting to customs authorities
CAS is the only digital customs solution of its kind, with legal content built in. C4T’s customs experts keep CAS up to date with changes to customs law, so you are always in compliance. Our functionality is continuously evolving, making CAS smarter. Write-off rules in CAS, for example, allow you to configure which type of stock is picked first, so you can make the best choices for your business.
CAS automatically selects stock records, proposes the appropriate customs procedure to discharge the authorisation, and triggers the appropriate declaration.
Instantly produce the reports and declarations required by customs authorities at the touch of a button to meet administrative obligations and demonstrate compliance.
CAS automates the selection of free goods, bonded goods, or Union goods based on duty advantages, saving costs, and maximising profits.
Share data, status updates, and other events with business partners and other systems that are integrated with CAS.
The Special Procedures module integrates directly with your WMS or ERP system via APIs for receiving movements of articles or Bills of Materials (BOMs).

Want to know more about how customs Special Procedures work and how CAS supports them? Here are some answers to common questions.
IP/OP administration in the CAS solution is accounting-based (record keeping). Stock records for Special Procedures are based on movements derived from customs declarations and received from the ERP or WMS source system. These stock records, housed in CAS, are the basis for reporting to customs authorities.
Yes. The Special Procedures module is linked to the Declarations and Master Data modules, including the corresponding customs authorisations. The Special Procedures module covers all legal and administrative requirements for Customs Warehousing, Inward Processing, Outward Processing, End Use, and Temporary Admission.
The Special Procedures module has extensive recordkeeping, reporting, and duty optimisation capabilities. Stock records for Special Procedures are based on a combination of movements derived from your customs declarations and from movements directly received from your ERP or WMS source system. Additionally, for processed products, the required composition of materials can be ingested in CAS with different types of messages, typically based on Bill of Materials or Production Orders.
