The new 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 correct procedures. At Tullify AB, we can assist you through each step and ensure that your goods are smoothly moved across borders. We can also handle the complex details, so you can focus on your core business.
Step 1 - export declartion (IE515)
Everything starts with you or your customs agent, as an exporter, preparing a standard customs declaration and digitally sending it to the Customs Administration. This is a critical step to get your goods released to the export procedure. We at Tullify AB can provide this service, ensuring that all necessary information is correctly filled out, and that the declaration is submitted correctly and on time.
Step 2 – Notification of Goods to the Export Office (IE507)
When the goods reach the export location, which could be a port, airport, or other border crossing, it is required that the carrier notifies the goods to the export customs office. This notification must refer to the MRN number from the customs declaration. Tullify AB can assist in ensuring that all parties in the logistics chain have the correct information and that the notification is done correctly.
Step 3 – Notification of Goods Export (IE590)
The final step occurs when the goods have left the EU. It is then the carrier's responsibility to inform the export customs office that the goods have been exported. This information is crucial to complete the export process. We at Tullify AB can assist your carrier in understanding and fulfilling their obligations, and ensure that all necessary information is available for a smooth transition.
Roles and Responsibilities in the Export Process
Each step in the export process has its responsibilities and actors, from the declarant's initial responsibility to prepare the export, to the carrier ensuring that the goods are correctly notified and finally exported. At Tullify AB, we understand how important it is that each part of the chain functions flawlessly. We therefore work closely with all involved parties 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.

Introduction to the
New Export System
From October 1, 2024, a completely new export system will be launched in Sweden. This system is designed to simplify and streamline the export process as well as to comply with the new EU legislation. The system will digitalize export procedures and provide more centralized solutions for companies exporting goods. If you want to read more about the "new export system 2024," just scroll further.
Digital
handling
All export and outbound handling will be managed digitally, replacing the previous TDS export and Export Control System.
Centralized
Clearance
Enables easier administration through centralized clearance for export, simplifying customs processes for companies with multiple trading locations within the EU.
S2S & 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 key dates
Production Start: The system will go live 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.
​
Three Steps of the New Export Process
​
-
Export Declaration: The exporter or a customs broker prepares and submits a standard customs declaration digitally.
-
Notification to the Export Office: When the goods arrive at the place of export, a notification is made to the customs office.
-
Notification of Export: Once the goods have left the EU, a final notification is sent confirming that the goods have been exported.
Main Types of Export Declarations
Standard Customs Declaration
This is the basic option for companies that have all the necessary information available at the time of loading the goods. By submitting a digital standard customs declaration directly at the time of loading, companies can quickly and easily fulfill export requirements.
​
Simplified Export Declaration
For situations where not all information is available at the time of loading, the Swedish Customs provides the option to use a simplified declaration. This initial simplified declaration is followed up with a supplementary declaration within 10 days from the submission of the original declaration.
​
Entry in the Declarant’s 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 handling frequent shipments to this country. Full implementation of this system is planned for 2025.
Key Points for Companies Preparing for the New Declaration Methods
-
Familiarize Yourself with Different Declaration Options: Determine which option best matches your company's needs and the specific situations you handle.
​
-
Stay Updated with the Latest Guidelines: Follow updates from the Swedish Customs, including detailed declaration guides that will be published shortly.
​
-
Plan Ahead for the Transition: Ensure a smooth adaptation by planning in advance for the transition to the new declaration methods, minimizing disruptions to your export activities.
​
The new export declaration system provides companies with increased flexibility and efficiency in managing international shipments. By understanding and utilizing these various options, companies can better adapt their processes to both current and future regulations.
Centralized Clearance and Permits
Companies that obtain a permit for centralized clearance (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 more information on how this system can benefit you and your company, you can watch the Swedish Customs' videos about the export system on the Swedish Customs website.
The Path of Goods Leaving Sweden
We at Tullify want to give you an overview of the smooth and digitalized customs handling process when goods leave Sweden and the EU.
​
When goods are exported from Sweden, there is a digital exchange of information in several steps, between different actors and at different times, to ensure that everything is done correctly.
Customs supervision is a crucial part of this process. It includes all measures taken by the Swedish Customs for goods that are imported, stored, exported, or re-exported. Goods declared for export, internal Union transit, or outward processing are under this supervision from the acceptance of the customs declaration until the goods leave the EU customs territory, are handed over to the state, destroyed, or the declaration is invalidated.
​
When goods are under customs supervision, the holder, or anyone else, cannot take any action with the goods without the consent of the Swedish Customs. This prevents alterations, dispersal, or evasion of controls, minimizing the risk of restricted goods leaving the EU without authorization.
To ensure this supervision, several notifications and declarations are required:
Declaration for Customs Procedure or Re-export
When: Before the Swedish Customs accepts the declaration.
Why: To ensure that all restrictions are met and that trade statistics are accurate.
Under Customs Supervision
When: From the moment 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.
Notification of Goods to the Export Customs Office
When: Upon the goods' arrival at the place of export.
Why: So that the Swedish Customs can confirm that the goods are cleared for export.
Notification of Export
When: When the goods leave the EU customs territory.
Why: To inform the Swedish Customs about which goods have been exported.
Proof of Export
When: After the goods have left the EU customs territory.
Why: To provide evidence to the Swedish Customs that the goods have been exported.
