Before you start
You’ll need the Government Gateway user ID and password linked to your EORI number.
If you do not have a Government Gateway user ID you can create one the first time you make a declaration.
To use this service you must:
- have the EORI numbers of any organisation involved in the export
- check how to complete an export declaration
- have the right commodity code for the goods
- have the value, weight, size and type of packaging
- give details of where the goods will be sent and the transport used
- have invoice and packing list references
After you have declared
Once you have completed your export declaration the person transporting the goods will need:
- your invoice
- any export licences or certificates needed
If the port is not linked to an inventory system they will need to tell HMRC when exports have arrived or departed a UK port.
