You will need to execute export filing through ATLAS to be approved by German customs. After that, customs authorities will be able to retrieve the Accompanying Export Documents as well as other required documents.

The documentation required to submit will vary. However, customs declarations can include the origin of the goods and the customs value of the goods.
