What is an Export Declaration?
An export declaration is a formal submission to customs authorities detailing goods leaving the UK or EU. It includes information such as the nature of the goods, their value, and destination. This ensures compliance with international trade regulations and enables the movement of goods across borders.
What is an Export Accompanying Document (EAD)?
The Export Accompanying Document (EAD) is a crucial part of the export process. It accompanies your goods during transit and acts as proof that an export declaration has been made and accepted. Customs authorities may request this document during checks.
