Creating an Export Declaration
For exports from the EU to third countries, an electronic export declaration is required for goods valued over €1,000. In Germany, this is done via the ATLAS system.
When is an export declaration required?
An export declaration is mandatory for:
- Goods value over €1,000 (or weight over 1,000 kg)
- Goods requiring export licenses (regardless of value)
- Goods with export refunds
- Excise goods
Process
1. Submit declaration via ATLAS
2. Receive MRN (Movement Reference Number)
3. Present goods to customs
4. Receive export confirmation (for VAT exemption proof)
💡 Without export confirmation, you cannot claim VAT exemption for the export. Request it from customs!
