About Export Declarations
Whenever goods are leaving the European Union one has to make an export declaration. We understand that timing is very important during the export process in your facility: The driver and the warehouse team are waiting for the documents necessary for the departure of the goods. It is important to have an excellent customs declarant at your side who can arrange the export declaration correctly within a very short amount of time. The declaration contains essential information such as the exporter and consignee details, a thorough description of the goods, their value, origin, and other relevant statements. There can be export restrictions on certain goods and bear in mind that an exporter under de UCC law is a person or legal entity that is located or established within the EU and has authority over the goods. Export declarations are made via DMS (Customs Declarations Management System) and forwarded to AES, the Automated Export System. The declarant will receive an electronic confirmation via AES that the goods have departed the European Union. This confirmation is important to receive the VAT return of the departed goods.
