Pass on the MRN in the export logistics chain
As an exporter, you must provide the correct operator with the MRN of the export declaration. Therefore, you must know which operators will provide information in the later steps.
The export process consists of data filing in three steps:
- Step 1 – Export declaration
- Step 2 – Arrival at exit
- Step 3 – Exit notification
As an exporter, you 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.
The MRN should be passed on
The export process begins when the declarant or their representative submits an export customs declaration using message IE515.
First, a message IE528 is received with the MRN number, followed by a message IE529 stating that the goods have been released for export. The shipment can now be released.
Have you received an MRN in return (IE528) but have not received the release for export notification (IE529)?
This means that the case has been moved to manual processing by Swedish Customs. Wait for a message about possible control or release.
Based on this information in the export declaration, the declarant or their representative must pass on the MRN number in the logistics chain to an operator at the place of exit, as this operator must submit a notification of goods to the customs office of exit in step 2 using message IE507.
The legislation does not specify who is responsible for submitting the arrival at exit message. This responsibility can fall on various actors, such as a port or airport terminal.
The MRN must then be passed on to the operator who submits the notification of exit of goods in step 3.
How the MRN number is communicated and to whom is up to you to decide in consultation with the other parties involved.
