Special export procedures

Create it yourself, reviewed by customs experts

Every consignment leaving the EU needs an electronic export declaration in German customs' ATLAS system. It is mandatory above a goods value of €1,000 or a weight over 1,000 kg; we recommend one from around €750, because the Export Accompanying Document (ABD) doubles as your proof of a VAT-exempt export supply.

With us you create that declaration yourself online: you enter the shipment data, our customs experts check the classification and mandatory details and transmit the declaration via ATLAS, and you receive the ABD by email. You need neither your own ATLAS connection nor customs software — only an EORI number.

How a declaration works

  1. Enter the data. Consignor, consignee, description of goods, commodity code, value, quantity, packaging, delivery term and mode of transport.
  2. Review by customs experts. We check the classification and the mandatory fields before the declaration goes to ATLAS.
  3. Receive the ABD. Usually the next working day by email — considerably faster as an authorised exporter.

What it costs is stated openly on the pricing page: €30 per declaration including one tariff position, €25 from 15 declarations a month. Short questions are answered in the FAQ, longer ones in the knowledge base.
