This is the final step in the clearance and release process of goods. In addition to the documents drawn up in the previous phases such as the BAE, the DDM and those required by the special rules, the importer or his authorized representative should complete his import file by obtaining the voucher to be issued from the shipping agent, establishing the exit voucher (via the TTN platform for the DDM manifested or via SINDA for the DDM established out of manifest in the case of flammable, or bulky products).
The customs departments check the status of these measures before and at the end of the shipment of the goods.
At the exit door, the importer or his authorized representative submit to
the customs the import file containing the following documents:
- The voucher to be removed bearing all necessary visas,
- A copy of the DDM,
- A printout of the exit voucher,
- The weighing voucher,
- Any other document relating to particulate regulation.
If the file submitted is in conformity, the customs authorities may authorize the release of the goods and discharge the port of call and the manifest item corresponding to the charging unit which has been removed.
