Export Customs Clearance
Handling the customs formalities for shipments leaving the European Union, with a check of the commercial, transport and customs documents they need.
When goods are sent to a country outside the European Union, the export is declared to customs before the cargo leaves. The export declaration records what is being exported, where to and on what terms, and it is linked to the goods' final exit from the EU customs territory.
We prepare the declaration from the commercial and transport documents and check the supporting documents that go with it. Where the destination country asks for proof of origin, we look at which document applies: in some cases an EUR.1 or A.TR certificate, in others a statement on origin or no preferential document at all.
We work with the freight forwarder or carrier so the customs side follows the shipment schedule, and we follow the formalities through to completion, including exit confirmation where it applies.
Send us the details of your case and we will tell you what the procedure involves and what is needed.
