Amendment and invalidation of exit declarations
You can amend an exit summary declaration (FI615) submitted via message exchange or via the Customs Clearance Service until you’ve received an exit release notification (FI525), that is, a loading permission.
The declarant’s, representative’s or service provider’s details mustn’t be amended. If these details change, invalidation of the declaration must be requested and a new declaration must be submitted using the correct details.
You can’t amend an arrival at exit notification (FI507), a re-export notification (FI570) or an exit notification (FI590).
Note that the declarant must keep and archive the documents or the electronic data verifying the change.
Invalidation of a declaration submitted via message exchange or via the Customs Clearance Service
An exit summary declaration (FI615) and a re-export notification (FI570) can be invalidated. An exit notification (FI590) can’t be invalidated.
If you have submitted a re-export notification containing incorrect details, request invalidation of the re-export notification and submit a new re-export notification. An example of incorrect details in a re-export notification is that declarations covering goods that are not yet exiting have been provided as previous documents. Request invalidation and submit a new re-export notification also in cases where an exit notification has already been submitted.
If you have already submitted an exit notification for export consignments containing goods that did not exit, the importer must request invalidation of these export declarations and submit new export declarations.
After the loading of bulk goods, amending information can be submitted with free-form contact (FI539).The declaration will not be amended. Instead, the information on the loaded quantity will be saved in connection with the original declaration.
The trader responsible for submitting a declaration can request invalidation of the following declarations, if none of the goods items covered by the declaration has been presented as exited or if more than one declaration has been submitted for the same goods:
Submit the invalidation request using the form 711e. You can also make a free-form invalidation request and send it by email to spake.varastointi@tulli.fi. Provide the following details in the free-form invalidation request:
- MRN and/or transaction ID
- declarant’s name, Business ID and extension as well as contact information
- reason for invalidation.
If the goods covered by the declaration haven’t been presented to Customs, Customs will invalidate the old exit summary declarations 150 days after the acceptance of the declaration. Declarations are not invalidated automatically. Instead, Customs asks the submitter of the declaration to provide an explanation.
Other exit declarations, such as exit manifest presentation (IE547) and exit notification (IE590), can’t be invalidated.
