What is an export accompanying document?
The Export Accompanying Document (EAD) is an official document issued by the customs authorities and an essential component for exporting goods to countries outside the EU. It contains all relevant information about your exported goods – from the commodity code, value and weight to the destination country – and also confirms that all customs and export control requirements have been met. This makes customs clearance in the country of destination much easier and reduces potential trade barriers. For internationally active companies, the ABD is a crucial step in properly recording goods and releasing them for export. With our service, you can create your ABD quickly, securely and in full compliance with the legal requirements. Our experts are active at all German customs offices and ensure that your export processes run smoothly.
