Export certificate and confirmation of arrival.

Since 1 October 2013 companies which are located in Germany have to prove that  shipments of goods to companies in other EU countries or non-EU countries have actually been delivered.

This proof can be legally provided in the form of a confirmation of arrival (EU), the export certificate (non-EU countries), a CMR consignment note, a carrier's receipt or other standard commercial document containing the confirmation of the consignee that the goods have been received.

This is why you need a commercial invoice

This is why you need a commercial invoice

In accordance with the applicable customs regulations, the shipment of goods or documents outside of the EU is subject to declaration. This means that the goods have to be accompanied by a commercial invoice or a pro forma invoice.

  • A commercial invoice is drawn up if the goods have commercial value.
  • A pro forma invoice is drawn up if the goods have no commercial value.

Whether it's a commercial invoice or a pro forma invoice, the document indicates the consignor and consignee, contains a full description of the contents of the shipment and details of their value. It is then signed by the consignor, who sends the original and three copies with the parcel.

This enables you to create your commercial invoice or pro forma invoice and print it out on your company stationery.

Uniform and clear: our terms of delivery

Uniform and clear: our terms of delivery

In a transport contract, the terms of delivery define the shipping costs which are the responsibility of the consignor and those which are the responsibility of the consignee. To make the process as simple as possible for you, our terms of delivery are based on the International Commercial Terms which are used worldwide.

International Commercial Terms (Incoterms for short) enable the standardised processing of commercial transactions.

They clearly regulate the distribution of costs and risks as well as the duty of care between buyer and seller. It is important for all those involved that the contract should specify which version of the Incoterms applies.

The terms of delivery in the DPD system are based on Incoterms® 2010.

The most important new feature: DDU terms have been replaced by DAP (delivered at place).

In all delivery terms the place of destination should be defined as precisely as possible (e.g. DAP Oslo), because without indication of the place no customs clearance is possible.

If a different place of customs clearance is required to the one normally used in the DPD system, this will lead to additional costs. Please consult us in such cases. The cost will be invoiced to the principal, in other words the consignor or the consignee.

Important for consignees in Switzerland without a customs account

For shipments to Switzerland, local consignees should note that in the case of parcel shipments sent DAP, DAP (customs cleared) and DDP (tax unpaid), if the goods value exceeds 62.50 CHF there will be a financing charge. It is levied for the advance provision of the finance, and amounts to 1.5 % of the import charges, with a minimum value of 8 CHF. In addition there is an administrative charge of 10 CHF. However, DPD Switzerland will only invoice these charges to the consignee (importer) if the consignee does not have a customs account (ZAZ).

If you need any further information or advice, your customers in Switzerland can contact the DPD team there by telephone on +41 848 373373.

 

All the necessary information about the movement certificate.

Versenden DPD Internationaler Versand Export- und Zollinformationen Warenverkehrsbescheinigung Versenden DPD Internationaler Versand Export- und Zollinformationen Warenverkehrsbescheinigung

All the necessary information about the movement certificate.

The EUR 1 or EUR-MED movement certificate is a preferential document for goods produced within the EU. This preference can be important in terms of calculating the import duties which the consignee has to pay.

The movement certificates are drawn up by the consignor on the relevant standard forms and submitted to the customs authorities when the goods are exported.

The forms can be obtained from your Chamber of Commerce.

The EUR 1 or EUR-MED certificate applies to the movement of goods within the European Economic Area and to the following countries: Egypt, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Iceland, Israel, Jordan, Kosovo, Croatia, Lebanon, Lichtenstein, Morocco, Macedonia, Mexico, Montenegro, Norway, Palestine, Switzerland, Serbia, South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, states of the African, Caribbean and Pacific region, Overseas Countries and Territories.
