“Export” refers to the movement of goods out of the customs territory of the European Union and their shipment to third countries. In contrast, the shipment of goods to countries within the European Union is considered “intra-Community supply” and not an export. Intra-Community supply does not require complex customs procedures, and in some cases, none at all, depending on the mode of transport and the countries involved. Export declarations to customs authorities are mandatory when goods leave the EU territory for a third country or a member state of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
For customs clearance during export, we handle the following on your behalf:
Document Collection:
Gathering necessary documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, shipping documents, bills of lading, printed and electronic authorizations, and EORI numbers.
Coordination:
Liaising with the transport company or agency you have chosen for the exit of your goods from customs.
Preparation and Submission:
Drafting and submitting the Export Declaration (SAD) through the electronic customs system ICISnet, along with supporting documents.
Certification:
Issuing relevant certificates as needed, such as T2L, EUR.1, ATR, or REX.
Physical Presence:
Ensuring our physical presence at the relevant customs office to guarantee smooth and swift customs procedures and declarations for your export, addressing any specialized needs that may arise.

After the process is finalized, we deliver the export authorization to the agency or transport company responsible for shipping the goods abroad.
