What is a CAD and an AAD and when are they used?
Commercial Accompanying Document (CAD) must be used in the UK for the transport of grapes, either when sold or when the distance travelled exceeds 40km. The CAD is provided by the WSB to UK vine growers annually. It is also required by some Third Countries as a certificate of origin for Community produced wines. CADs for this purpose are supplied by Head Office to traders on our register. The Administrative Accompanying Document (AAD) is required by HM Revenue and Customs for movements under duty suspension: see Customs Notice 197.
