Understanding the Single Administrative Document (SAD)
The SAD document (Single Administrative Document) is internationally recognised by customs authorities for import and export. It is a form that declares compliance with the regulations laid down by the EU regarding movement of goods by traders across international borders. It must detail the goods being imported, information regarding movement of goods, the classification codes of the goods and details regarding compliance with the Customs Procedure Code.
The 54 boxes in SAD
The 54 boxes are grouped into the following headings: goods status, contact details of trader, taxes and duties, goods description, details regarding valuation, reference details with respect to agents, preference and transport and delivery of goods.
