New export system
The new AES export system is up and running - Get help from us for your exports
The export process has been changed and structured into three clear steps, to make it easier for exporters like you to follow the right procedures. At Tullify AB, we can help you through each step and ensure that your goods move smoothly across borders. We can also handle the complex details, so you can focus on your core business.
Step 1
It all starts with you or your customs agent, as an exporter, prepares a standard customs declaration and digitally submits it to the Swedish Customs. This is a critical step in getting your goods released for export. We at Tullify AB can provide this service, ensuring that all necessary information is filled in correctly, and that the declaration is submitted correctly and on time.
Step 2
When the goods reach the point of exit, which can be a port, airport or other border crossing, the carrier is required to declare the goods to the customs office of exit. This declaration must reference the MRN number from the customs declaration. Tullify AB can help ensure that all actors in the logistics chain have the right information and that the declaration is done correctly.
Step 3
The final step occurs when the goods have left the EU. It is then the carrier’s responsibility to notify the customs office of exit that the goods have been exported. This information is crucial to completing the export process. We at Tullify AB can assist your carrier in understanding and fulfilling their obligations, and ensuring that all necessary information is available for a smooth transition.
Roles and Responsibilities in the Export Process
Every step in the export process has its responsibilities and actors, from the declarant's initial responsibility to prepare for export, to the carrier who ensures that the goods are correctly declared and finally exported. At Tullify AB we understand how important it is that every part of the chain functions flawlessly. We therefore work closely with all parties involved to ensure that no details are missed.
If you need guidance through this new export process or have questions about the specific roles and their responsibilities, Tullify AB is here to help. Contact us today to ensure your export goes according to plan!

Introduction to the new Export System
As of October 1, 2024, a completely new export system will be launched in Sweden. This system is designed to simplify and streamline the export process and to meet the requirements of the new EU legislation. The system will digitalize export procedures and provide more centralized solutions for companies that export goods. If you want to read more about the “new export system 2024”, just scroll down.
Digital management
All exports and exits are handled digitally, replacing the previous TDS export and export control system.
Centralized clearance
Enables simpler administration through centralized export clearance, simplifying customs processes for companies with multiple trading locations within the EU.
S2S and M2S solutions
The system offers both system-to-system (S2S) and human-to-system (M2S) options, making it flexible for different types of users.
Implementation period and important dates
Production start: The system will go into production on October 1, 2024.
Implementation period: A transition period will run until December 2, 2024, during which users will gradually adapt to the new features.
The three steps of the new export process
- Export declaration: The exporter or a customs agent prepares and sends a standard customs declaration digitally.
- Notification to the exit office: When the goods arrive at the point of exit, a notification is made to the customs office.
- Notification of export: Once the goods have left the EU, a final notification is sent stating that the goods have been exported.
Roles in the Export Process
Declarant:
This can be the exporter themselves or a hired customs agent such as Tullify AB.
Freight forwarder:
Responsible for submitting necessary declarations to customs offices during the export process.
Main types of Export Declarations
Standard customs declaration
This is the basic option for companies that have all the necessary information available when loading goods. By submitting a digital standard customs declaration directly at the time of loading, companies can quickly and easily fulfill export requirements.
Simplified declaration for export
For situations where not all information is available at the time of loading, the Swedish Customs provides the possibility to use a simplified declaration. This initial simplified declaration is followed up with a supplementary declaration within 10 days of the submission of the original declaration.
Registration in the declarant's accounting records
This option allows a customs declaration to be created directly from the declarant's own accounting system. Although this option is currently only applicable for exports to Norway, it represents a flexible solution for companies that handle frequent shipments to this country. Full implementation of this system is planned for 2025.
Export to Norway
For goods that exported to Norway There are options for digital submission, visiting the customs office, or using digital border crossing at certain border crossings.
Important points for companies preparing for the new declaration methods
- Familiarize yourself with the different declaration options and decide which best matches your company's needs and the specific situations you are dealing with.
- Stay up to date with the latest guidelines from the Swedish Customs Administration, including detailed declaration guides that will be published shortly.
- Plan ahead for the transition to the new declaration methods to ensure a smooth adaptation and minimize disruption to your export activities.
The new system for export declarations provides companies with increased flexibility and efficiency in handling international shipments. By understanding and utilizing these different options, companies can better adapt their processes to both current and future regulations.
Centralized clearance and authorization
Companies that obtain a Centralised Clearance Authorisation (CCL) can manage their export customs declarations centrally from a single Member State.
The new export system will offer significant benefits for Swedish exporters, including faster and simpler export processes as well as better alignment with international standards and EU regulations.
For further information on how this system can benefit you and your company, you can watch the Swedish Customs' films about the export system on the Swedish Customs website.
The goods' way out of Sweden
We at Tullify want to give you an overview of the smooth and digitalized process for customs handling when a product leaves Sweden and the EU.
When a product is exported from Sweden, a digital exchange of information takes place in several steps, between different actors and at different times, to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
Customs supervision is an important part of this process. It covers all measures taken by the Finnish Customs for goods that are imported, stored, exported or re-exported. Goods declared for export, internal Union transit or outward processing are subject to this supervision from the moment the customs declaration is accepted until the goods leave the EU customs territory, are handed over to the state, are destroyed or the declaration is declared invalid.
The fact that a good is under customs supervision means that the holder, or anyone else, is not allowed to take any action with the goods without the consent of the Swedish Customs. This is to prevent changes, diversion or evasion of controls, which minimizes the risk of restricted goods leaving the EU without permission.
To ensure this monitoring, several notifications and declarations are required:
Declaration for customs procedure or re-export
- When: Before Customs accepts the declaration.
- Why: To ensure that all restrictions are met and that trade statistics are accurate.
Under customs supervision
- When: From the time the export customs office accepts the customs declaration until the goods leave the EU customs territory.
- Why: To monitor that the goods declared for export actually leave the EU.
Declaration of goods to the customs office of exit
- When: Upon arrival of the goods at the point of departure.
- Why: So that Customs can notify that the goods are released for export.
Notification of the export of goods
- When: When the goods leave the EU customs territory.
- Why: So that the Swedish Customs can receive information about which goods have been exported.
Certificate of export of goods
- When: When the goods have left the EU and the customs office of exit has notified the customs office of export.
- Why: For the Swedish Customs to certify that the goods have left the EU and complete the export procedure.
