Declare cross-border shipments of commercial goods to customs online via the Union transit procedure

Service Description

If you are involved in customs-related trade in the EU and want to use the Union transit procedure, you must participate in the automated customs clearance system ATLAS and declare your shipment of goods to customs. You can use a customs internet platform to do this.

In order to process commercial goods traffic with non-EU countries largely automatically, the customs administration has introduced the ATLAS (Automated Tariff and Local Customs Clearance System) IT procedure nationwide. ATLAS is used to process and monitor the cross-border movement of goods.

In the Union transit procedure, goods can be transported between 2 locations within the customs territory of the Union under customs supervision without being subject to import duties during the transit procedure.

To make it easier for you to place your goods under the Union transit procedure via ATLAS, German customs has set up an internet platform. You can use this to enter your customs declaration data and transmit it to the customs administration.

However, you must be aware of this: Your customs declaration only becomes legally effective once you have printed it out, signed it and submitted it to the relevant customs office - in addition to the online transit declaration.


Process flow

To declare the shipment of your goods to customs online via the Union transit procedure, proceed as follows:

  • Call up the customs internet platform for the ATLAS internet transit declaration, follow the instructions and complete the form in full.
  • Click on "Complete IVA". You will receive the order number as confirmation of the successful transmission of your Internet transit declaration data.
  • Print out the Internet shipping declaration in duplicate and sign it.
  • Present the signed Internet dispatch declaration and the order number to the responsible customs office of departure. Only the signed IVA printout is a written transit declaration and must be accepted by the customs office.
  • Keep the documents required for release for the transit procedure ready for any subsequent checks by customs.
Requirements

You or your company must

  • be an economic operator within the meaning of customs law. This means that you are involved in activities that fall under customs law as part of your business activities;
  • have active access to the "ATLAS Versand" IT procedure or commission a service provider to do so.
Which documents are required?
  • Participant identification number (TIN)

Please contact your local main customs office to find out whether you need to submit further documents.

What are the fees?

There are no costs for you.

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
