IE515 - STEP 1
Step 1 in the New Export System: IE515 – The Export Declaration
With the introduction of the new export system by the Swedish Customs Authority in October 2024, the export process in Sweden has become more modern and digitized.
A key part of this system is the IE515 message, used to submit export declarations. Once an IE515 is approved, the declarant receives a response in the form of the IE529 message, which confirms that the goods are released for export.
Here is an overview of how IE515 works and how it fits into the new export process.
What is the IE515 Message?
IE515 is the first step in the new export process and constitutes the export declaration. This declaration includes details about:
-
The origin and destination of the goods.
-
Commodity codes, quantity, and value.
-
Relevant licenses and permits.
-
The customs office where the goods will exit the EU's customs territory.
When the declarant submits the IE515 digitally to the Swedish Customs Authority, the information is reviewed. If everything is correct and complete, the goods are cleared for export, and the declarant receives the IE529 message as confirmation.
This step is crucial because the IE529 serves as a receipt that the export has been approved.
