Export and re-export

Export and re-export clearance, from the declaration to the exit from the EU

We file the export declaration in your name and send you the customs confirmation that proves the export to the tax authorities. We also clear re-exports, when goods that entered the EU but were never released onto the market leave again.

Export

How we clear an export

We file the export declaration when the goods are ready for loading, and follow the shipment until it leaves the EU.

  • The export declaration

    We fill it in from the invoice and the packing list and file it in your name. Customs may check the documents or the goods before allowing the export.

  • Leaving the EU

    The goods leave the EU through a customs office of exit: a port, a border crossing or an airport. Customs confirms the exit there.

  • Proof of export

    After the exit, customs confirms the export. With that confirmation you prove the export to the tax authorities and apply the zero VAT rate to the sale.

Re-export

Re-export: when the goods leave again

The goods came into the EU but were never released onto the market, and were kept in a customs warehouse, in temporary storage or under another special procedure. When they leave again, a re-export is cleared, not an export.

  • After customs warehousing

    The goods were kept in a customs warehouse with no duty or VAT paid. On re-export they leave the EU without being imported.

  • After temporary admission or inward processing

    Goods brought in temporarily, or for processing, conversion or repair, that go back or on to another non-EU country.

  • After temporary storage

    Goods that have arrived and leave straight from temporary storage, without being placed under a procedure or imported.

  • How it differs from export

    The goods came from outside the EU and were never put on the EU market. So for a re-export we also need the documents of the procedure they were under.

How it works

Exporting a shipment

  1. Documents

    You send us the invoice and the packing list when the goods are ready for loading.

  2. Declaration

    We file the export declaration. If customs wants to see the goods, we arrange the inspection.

  3. Loading and the road

    The goods set off for the customs office where they will leave the EU, with the export accompanying document.

  4. Confirmation

    When the goods leave the EU, customs confirms the export and we send you the confirmation.

Questions

Questions about export and re-export

If your question is not here, write to us or call.

Who can be the exporter?

The person in whose name the export declaration is filed and who has the right to dispose of the goods. Usually that is the seller in the EU.

Is there duty on exports?

Only where an export duty applies to the goods. Some goods are also banned or restricted. We check your goods before we file the declaration.

When will I receive the export confirmation?

Once the goods have left the EU and the customs office of exit has confirmed it. We send it to you as soon as we receive it.

Do you clear exports loaded outside Varna?

Yes. We file the declaration at the customs office where the goods are, anywhere in Bulgaria.

Do you clear exports by road, rail and ferry?

Yes. The truck or wagon leaves with the export documents and exits the EU at a border crossing. On the ferry to Batumi, the goods leave the EU at Varna.

Can I send the documents before the goods are ready?

Yes. We check them in advance and file the declaration as soon as the goods are ready for loading.

Export or re-export enquiry

Describe the goods, where they are loaded and where they are going. For a re-export, tell us which procedure the goods were under.
