Importing Personal effects using 1PF apc

Hi. I have a query regarding the additional statements and codes needed to effectively use APC 1PF (personal goos under £630). The goods come under various HS codes including one at 12% duty which ultimately I would like to bring in under the flat 2.5% duty which is allowed under 1PF. If anyone can offer advice as to what goes in Data Elements 2/2 and 2/3 to support the code I would be grateful. I have read through all the guidelines offered by HMRC by just can't get it to work. Thanks in advance. Kim

Hi,
Please check the guidance that cover additional procedure code 1PF and on Additional Information (DE 2/2):
Additional Procedure Code 1-Series (Appendix 2B)

Thank you

Hi Thanks for the link and I have followed the information given in the guidance and it still doesn't work. I have a container made up of ToR shipments with any gaps filled with gifts from 'back home'. The ToR declarations are fine and go through but the gifts declarations using 1PF never work. There are multiple items all to difference recipients, both the individual and the total of the gifts is usually under £300. Please advise if each gift needs a separate declaration? Currently the exporter are a business that organises the shipping, the Importer and declarant are a freight forwarder. If anyone has experience of 1PF, I would be interesting to hear the different DE's that need to be filled in as I am clearly missing something. Thank you
