Authorisation to declare exports via entry in the declarant’s records
This authorisation means that you are not required to submit a customs declaration to Swedish Customs to release your goods. Instead, you declare by registering the declaration information in the accounts of the declarant.
Authorisation code: EIR
When entering this information in the records, you must report their departure to Swedish Customs to release them into free circulation. Then, submit a customs declaration to Swedish Customs at a later stage, using a supplementary declaration.
If you fail to submit a supplementary declaration in time, you may have to pay a penalty.
Authorisations to declare customs via entry in the declarant’s records may apply to other customs procedures than exports.

Swedish Customs deem that companies with status as authorised economic actors (AEO) already meet the compliance, ERP and competence criteria.
