The necessity of software for submitting electronic export declarations (e-dec) depends on the specific requirements of the respective company. Firstly, the volume and complexity must be considered. With the Swiss e-dec module, templates can be used for smaller shipment volumes to reduce repetitive effort. For larger shipment volumes or many customs tariff numbers, the use of an interface can be worthwhile, allowing exports to be created directly from the ERP system.
1. Mandatory electronic customs declaration:
For deliveries with Incoterms FCA and higher, an export declaration is required.
2. High Export Volume:
If your company has a high volume of exports, manual processing of export declarations can be time-consuming and error-prone. Software can automate the process and increase efficiency.
3. Integration with company systems:
If you want seamless integration between your internal company systems (e.g., merchandise management, warehouse management) and the customs systems, specialized software can establish this connection.
4. Need for real-time information:
If you need real-time access to customs information, for example, to monitor the status of your exports or to respond to inquiries from customs authorities, a software solution with real-time functionalities can be advantageous.
