European foreword
This document (CEN/TR 17535:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 331“Postal
Services”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document shall give guidance on how to implement electronic advance data (EAD) for VAT, customs
and the increased security requirements for commercial postal items, including economic operators.
The development has been funded by the European Commission in Project Team C (PTC, under
CEN/TC331 WG2). This TR is in line with legislation and implementing acts adopted in December 2017
and published 29 December 2017, the so called “EU VAT Ecommerce Package” (OJ L 348 of 29.12.2017 –
Council Directive [EU] 2017/2455; Council Regulation [EU] 2017/2454; Council Implementing
Regulation [EU] 2017/2459).
Introduction
CEN has been requested by the European Commission in its standardization request M/548, to develop
European standards/other deliverables or, where necessary, to revise existing standards. The goal is to
be compliant to security and customs requirements for electronic advanced data and to promote
interoperability of parcel-delivery operations. This way we contribute to promoting the creation of a
Digital Single Market for the European Union.
This mandated work item (M/548) is closely related to the development of electronic advanced data
(EAD) in postal operations compliant to security and customs requirements, as its aim is to develop
technical and message specifications for the implementation of EAD, both, upstream of the postal value
chain, integrated into the senders (deemed supplier’s) applications, so that EAD can be sent prior to any
physical border crossing for commercial postal items, and data receiving applications of customs / tax
authorities at the country of destination. This work is closely related to the current EU VAT Ecommerce
package, put into force in December 2017, and will be mandatory 1 January 2021.
The deliverable shall give guidance on how to apply EAD, so that transport Identification, transaction
Identification and tax related identification numbers can be used, both in the closed environment of the
designed postal operators (UPU Network) and non-designated private postal operators.
1 Scope
The current and future infrastructure to satisfy the changing needs of citizens in the EU will grant access
to wider postal stakeholders, including customers, postal suppliers, supply chain service providers, (i.e.
customs, fiscal authorities collecting VAT and related duties, transport providers like airlines or rail road
and other transport mode operators, non-profit organisations supporting supply chain traceability, etc.)
non-designated economic postal operators (Courier-, Express-, and Parcel delivery operators) that use,
or may wish to use products, services and solutions currently restricted to designated operators.
This document aims at the provision of a Single Digital Market in Europe is at the focus within CEN, in
particular:
• maintaining the integrity and independence of the European and worldwide delivery network
• no unfair advantage to any group or individual player, and thereby providing a level playing field
• clear d
