The functionalities of EU CSW-CERTEX indicated in this Chapter shall operate individually or in combination with each other for the information exchange and processing referred to in Article 10(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2399.
Check availability functionality
1. Where a supporting document is referenced in a customs declaration or re-export declaration, EU CSW-CERTEX shall:
(a)
verify that the supporting document is available and retrieve it from its respective Union non-customs system;
(b)
transform the data included in that supporting document in accordance with Articles 1, 2 and 3;

transmit the data, together with the original supporting document where requested, to the national single window environment for customs where the customs declaration or re-export declaration was lodged.
2. If the status of a supporting document changes in a manner that would affect the identification of procedures in accordance with Article 1, EU CSW-CERTEX shall perform the actions referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article in an automated manner.
Automatic quantity management

(a)
perform the actions specified in Article 5(1), point (a);
(b)
transmit a verification from the Union non-customs systems to the national single window environments for customs confirming that the specific quantities of goods declared in the customs declaration or re-export declaration do not exceed those indicated in the supporting document.
2. If the verifications provided for in paragraph 1 are successful, EU CSW-CERTEX shall communicate the outcome of the quantity reservation and the content of the supporting document to the national single window environments for customs.
3. Where goods for which a quantity has been reserved in accordance with paragraph 2 are released or re-exported, EU CSW-CERTEX shall retrieve information from the respective national single window environment for customs on the quantity released or re-exported and forward that information to the respective Union non-customs systems, where those quantities shall be considered consumed.
4. Where goods for which a quantity has been reserved in accordance with paragraph 2 are not released, EU CSW-CERTEX shall retrieve information from the respective national single window environment for customs on the unreleased quantity and forward that information to the respective Union non-customs systems, where those quantities shall be considered neither reserved nor consumed.

Post-clearance amendment or invalidation of the customs declaration
Where a customs declaration is amended in accordance with Article 173 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 or invalidated pursuant to Article 174 of that Regulation, and a supporting document is referenced in the customs declaration in accordance with Articles 5 and 6 of this Regulation, EU CSW-CERTEX shall receive the information about the amendment or invalidation from the respective national single window environments for customs and transmit it to the respective Union non-customs systems to update or withdraw the quantity of goods consumed.
