Specificaties
1. Introduction
This section describes some general principles.
1.1. Reference documentation (European Commission, DG TAXUD)
The functional specifications are created by DG TAXUD, based on the legislation. They are reviewed and accepted by the EU Member States in the ECG ICS (Electronic Customs Group for ICS) These specifications form the basis for the Technical specifications.
The technical specifications are created by DG TAXUD, based on the functional specifications. They are reviewed and accepted by the EU Member States in the ECG ICS (Electronic Customs Group for ICS) These specifications form the basis for development of the National Import Customs Application (NICA) by a Member States Customs Service.
They are also subject to DG TAXUD's change management process, called KEL (Known Error List). While most of the time the impact of these changes is limited to the Common Domain (=message exchange between Customs Applications of different Member States), some of these KELs also impact the External Domain (=message exchange between economic operators and the NICA)
The business scope describes the downscope of ICS to 'ICS Phase 1'. All External Domain message exchanges concerning arrival processes have been removed.
These documents are provided for reference only. ( Proceed to the download section )
1.2. Specifications for economic operators
These (national) specifications are relevant for economic operators (traders) developing B2B message exchanges in the External Domain (=between economic operators and the National Import Customs Application). They are created by the national developer of MASP.be, based on the DDNIA.
Theoretically, it is possible that multiple versions of the same specification are in the pipeline. Therefore, Message Implementation Guides are organised per target release.
1.3. Testing
- Test environment
- ICS is available for testing since PLDA 3.2. It can be tested on the PLDA-Simulation URL (cfr. Links PLDA )
- Support
-
As of 15/07/2010, a dedicated e-mail address helpdesk.ics at minfin.fed.be exists for your ICS-related questions. Please remember to include the following information:
- the environment (TEST or PROD)
- PLDA-Web for questions concerning the web application
- PLDA-EDI for questions concerning B2B communication
- the IExxx number (if applicable)
- the MRN (if validated), LRN and/or correlation ID (rejection)
Before contacting the helpdesk, please consult the list of known issues/defects on the following URL: ST_ICS.pdf
- Use of EORI during tests
- The test environment is linked to the EORI production environment. This means that all existing and active EORI numbers can be used for testing. (Note: the defect that caused certain EORI numbers to generate a B2B_UNKNOWN_ERROR has been resolved)
- Known issues
- You can consult the list of known issues (defects) on the following URL: ST_ICS.pdf
