Declaring goods to customs when exporting via the Internet
Service Description
If you trade or transport goods across borders, you must comply with special regulations. One of these is to properly declare the goods to customs. This requires an electronic export declaration from a certain value of goods or a certain trade volume. Among other things, the customs declaration serves to monitor exports (export control).
Export declarations are processed via ATLAS, the "Automated Tariff and Local Customs Clearance System". In addition to special software for the ATLAS export IT procedure, you can also use the web application "Internet Export Declaration Plus" (IAA-Plus). With IAA-Plus, you submit your declaration electronically with a signature. This declaration is reminiscent of an e-mail, which can be generated automatically via an interface.
IAA Plus is aimed at companies that
- rarely or rarely export goods,
- export goods very frequently using the simplified procedure or submit a simplified export declaration,
- submit a simplified export declaration as a subcontractor in direct representation,
- cannot or do not wish to purchase their own ATLAS software,
- do not wish to use an ATLAS service provider or customs office.
Process flow
To declare an export to customs via IAA Plus:
- Go to the "Internet Export Declaration Plus" page.
-
For the declaration and the signature of your data you need
- the EORI number (TIN) and
- an ELSTER certificate.
- Enter the relevant export data in the mask.
- It is possible to save individual data and correct it later up to the time of transfer at the time of export. There is no control, so errors may only become apparent during the export process.
There are 2 variants of the procedure:
-
The two-stage export procedure:
- You declare the export of goods to customs via IAA-Plus.
- The responsible inland customs office takes over the pre-clearance at customs or, upon request ("presentation outside the office"), at your company and sends you the export accompanying document.
- Final customs clearance is possible at any EU border customs office, provided the export accompanying document is available there.
- After clearance, you will automatically receive an exit note in your IAA Plus mailbox.
-
The simplified customs declaration with formal authorization:
- Here too, you declare the export to customs via IAA-Plus.
- The delivery is then released directly by the responsible inland customs office.
- An electronic check is carried out to determine whether your company has received a simplified export permit for the goods and the recipient country.
-
Here too, any EU border customs office can clear the delivery and an electronic confirmation follows.
