What Is the Best Way to Export Shipments From Germany?

There are a lot of moving pieces when it comes to the ATLAS export shipping process. ShipERP’s export system software simplifies that process for your business and is the best way to file export declarations from Germany. ShipATLAS makes it easy to:

 

1. Gather Required Information

Delays with German customs slow down the shipping process and will cost your business money in the long run. It is crucial that you acquire all relevant information in the export declaration in order to prevent delays. A few examples of information that you may need for customs clearance with Germany include: 

  • KN8 (commodity code)
  • Value of goods
  • Who you are shipping to
  • Intercompany shipment vs. direct-to-customer
  • Country of origin
  • Region of origin

 

2. Ensure Compliance

Educate yourself and your team on the rules and restrictions of German shipping customs – ATLAS Zoll. Information that you will need to be aware of includes:

  • Which countries you cannot export to
  • Categories of goods that are restricted or entirely prohibited
  • Individuals or institutions that are significantly restricted


3. Submit 
Required Export Documentation

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.

ShipATLAS simplifies the ATLAS Zoll shipping process tenfold. Much of the information you will need to file will already be available in SAP ERP.
