ekspordideklaratsioon

Ekspordideklaratsioon is the Estonian term for an export declaration. It is a document required by customs authorities when goods are exported from Estonia to a country outside the European Union. This declaration serves as official notification to customs that goods are leaving the country and provides details about the shipment.

The primary purpose of an ekspordideklaratsioon is to ensure compliance with national and international trade regulations, collect trade statistics, and to facilitate the control of goods. It typically includes information such as the exporter's details, the importer's details, a description of the goods, their value, quantity, country of origin, and the intended destination.

In Estonia, like in other EU member states, the export declaration is usually submitted electronically through the customs system. The specific requirements and procedures for lodging an ekspordideklaratsioon can vary depending on the type and value of the goods being exported, as well as the destination country. Businesses involved in international trade are responsible for ensuring that all necessary documentation, including the export declaration, is correctly prepared and submitted to customs. Failure to do so can lead to delays, fines, or other penalties.
