Export procedure
The export procedure consists of data submission in three steps - export declaration, presentation of goods at the office of exit and exit notification of goods.
A new procedure in three steps
The export procedure consists of the following three steps:
Step 1 – Export declaration
The declarant makes a standard customs declaration and sends the customs declaration digitally to Swedish Customs in message IE515 to release the goods into the export customs procedure.
Step 2 – Arrival at exit
When the goods arrive at the place of exit, the carrier presents the goods to the customs office of exit in message IE507. The notification refers to the MRN of the customs declaration.
Step 3 – Exit notification
When the goods have left the customs territory of the EU, the carrier must notify the customs office of exit that the goods have been removed. This is done with message IE590.
It is important to note that you as an exporter must provide the correct operator with the MRN of the export declaration. The MRN must then be passed on to the operator who submits the notification of exit of goods in step 3. Therefore, you must know which operators will provide information in the later steps.
