Glossary Export Declaration

Export Declaration refers to the administrative procedure of legally exporting domestic goods to foreign countries according to proper procedures. The export declaration is required by customs authorities and is used to control and monitor the movement of goods across international borders. The export declaration includes details about the exporter, the consignee, the goods being exported, and the destination country. The information provided on the export declaration helps customs officials to verify the accuracy of the shipment details, assess any applicable duties or taxes, and identify any security or regulatory issues that may require further scrutiny. Export declarations can be filed electronically or on paper, depending on the requirements of the exporting country and the destination country. The exporter or their authorized agent is responsible for filing the export declaration and ensuring that all necessary information is accurate and complete.
