Export procedures

If you export goods to countries outside the European Union (EU), including Great Britain (GB), you or your agent must complete a customs declaration. This customs declaration must be made electronically through Revenue's Automated Export System (AES). Some goods are prohibited and some are subject to restrictions or may require a licence. See information on prohibitions and restrictions. The following documents must be available if requested by Revenue at the time of clearing your goods:

  • invoice
  • export licence.

Further information is available in the Guide to customs export procedures.
