The process of export is said to be completed when the goods have physically exited the customs territory of the exporting country and the customs authorities certify the exit. Typically, this involves several steps including the submission of an export declaration, customs clearance, and the physical exit of the goods from the country. The export procedure is considered finished when the customs office at the point of exit confirms that the goods have left the territory and sends an electronic message certifying the exit to the exporter or declarant. At this point, the goods have legally left the country and are on their way to the importer, completing the export process.
Export Process Key Steps
- Submission of export declaration to customs.
- Customs review and clearance of goods.
- Physical transportation of goods to the point of exit (port, airport, border).
- Customs office supervises and certifies the physical exit of goods.
- Confirmation of exit is electronically communicated to the exporter.
The export process is not considered complete until this official certification of exit is received, ensuring compliance with customs regulations and legal transfer of goods out of the country.
This completion stage is crucial for finalizing export transactions and is often linked with shipment tracking, payment releases, and logistics completion.
