1. Creating a simplified declaration
The declarant makes a simplified declaration and sends the declaration digitally to Swedish Customs in message IE515 to release the goods into the export customs procedure. The simplified declaration will then contain a Local Reference Number (LRN).
A declarant may also engage a representative who will handle their communications with Swedish Customs. The representative acts on behalf of the declarant.
2. Receiving a simplified declaration and assigning an MRN
The customs office of export receives the simplified declaration and verifies that the information is correctly entered.
A case is created at the customs office of export, and the declaration is assigned an MRN.
The customs office of export sends the MRN to the declarant in message IE528. The simplified declaration is assigned ‘Approved’ status.
3. Sending a notification of expected arrival
The customs office of export sends information about the expected arrival in message IE501 to the customs office of exit indicated in the the simplified declaration.
4. Decision to release the goods for export
The customs office of export will verify the correctness of the information in the customs declaration and decide whether the goods may be released. The decision to release the goods for export is sent from the customs office of export to the declarant in message IE529.
