This Regulation introduces changes to the documentation procedures for consignments that undergo identity and physical checks at control points different from border control posts in the EU. It specifically modifies the rules regarding the Common Health Entry Document (CHED) submission process for goods entering the European Union.The Regulation amends Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/2123 by adding a new requirement for operators to link two Common Health Entry Documents in the information management system. The first CHED is submitted at the border control post, while the second one is required when the consignment is transferred to a different control point for identity and physical checks.The main provisions of the act focus on:
- The obligation for operators to complete and submit a separate CHED when consignments are moved to a different control point
- The requirement to link this new CHED with the original one submitted at the border control post
- The need to notify competent authorities about the expected arrival time and means of transport before the consignment leaves the border control post
These changes aim to enhance the traceability of consignments and ensure better information flow between relevant authorities regarding the outcomes of official controls and decisions made about the consignments. The new linking requirement between CHEDs serves as a key mechanism for maintaining an unbroken chain of documentation throughout the control process.
