Four steps

From shipment to Export Accompanying Document

Start a declaration — with or without an account

The wizard guides you step by step through consignee & shipment, goods location, goods, company data and summary. You need neither an ATLAS participant authorisation nor an account. Your draft is kept even if you close the page in between.

Enter goods and find the commodity code

The commodity index is built in: search by goods description or number, right in the customs tariff number field, with results in the official wording. No switching to external tariff databases.

Customs experts review — every correction stays visible

Before your declaration goes to customs, a customs expert reviews it. If something is corrected you can see exactly which field changed and what it contained before. You learn with every shipment instead of flying blind.

Full functionality is available to customers with a customer account.

Track the status, get the MRN and documents

The status timeline shows every stage: awaiting documents, in progress, received by customs, accepted by customs, released for export, export confirmed. LRN and MRN appear in both the list and the detail view, and you download the ABD and other customs documents directly.

Full functionality is available to customers with a customer account.

FAQ

Answers to the most important questions

  • How quickly will I receive my ABD?
    You receive confirmation of your order by email right after submitting it. With a customer account you also see customs acceptance in the portal, usually within an hour if the complete declaration reaches us during our service hours (Mon–Thu 8:30–16:00, Fri 8:30–14:00). Exceptions are queries about your details, goods subject to licensing and outages of the ATLAS system. The ABD follows by the next business day after we receive your complete data, for requests submitted by 11:00. Process slip for rush orders within 1 hr, authorised exporters within 5 min.
  • Do you handle rush orders?
    Yes. Within 1 hr you receive the process slip and can drive to customs yourself with the slip and the goods.
  • What data do I need to provide?
    Sender data including EORI number and location of the goods. Consignee data with full address, goods description, statistical commodity code (HS code), value, quantity, packaging, Incoterms, and mode of transport.
