Re-export notification (FI570)

The re-export notification is used for export and transit goods that exit Finland by sea, air, road or rail.

Submit the notification via message exchange or via the Customs Clearance Service. The notification cannot be submitted retrospectively and it cannot be amended.

When should a re-export notification be submitted?

A re-export notification is submitted in the following cases:

  • The goods are in temporary storage.
    • The goods have arrived in the storage facility with an entry summary declaration (ENS).
    • The goods have arrived in the storage facility with a temporary storage declaration (TSD).
    • The goods have arrived in the storage facility under T1 transit.
  • The goods are in the storage facility and are available for inspection by Customs.
    • Any entry controls must have been carried out.
    • The notification must be submitted before the goods are loaded onto the means of transport.
  • Goods carried under a transit procedure exit by sea or air without being placed in temporary storage.

The notification is submitted for goods that have been in temporary storage for no more than 14 days and that are re-exported from temporary storage directly outside the customs territory of the Union. When the goods are carried by sea on a non-regular shipping service vessel and the country of destination is another EU country, the length of storage is irrelevant.

The goods can be loaded when an exit release notification (FI525) has been received from Customs.

Submit the notification when the goods are still in at the temporary storage facility. Provide “C – Approved place” as the type of location as well as the warehouse ID of the temporary storage facility.

Goods carried under a transit procedure

A re-export notification can be submitted for goods that have arrived at a temporary storage facility under a transit procedure, once Customs has given an unloading permission for the transit and the goods exit by sea or air. 

If the transit is not discharged in Finland, no loading permission is requested for it with a re-export notification. The carrier can load the goods without a separate loading permission based on the transit MRN. The status of the transit can be checked with the MRN in the Commission’s MRN Follow-up (Export & Transit).

The status must be “Released at Departure”.

If the goods leave the temporary storage facility under a transit procedure, the re-export notification is not used.
