Standard customs declaration for imports
The simplest way to submit a declaration is using a standard customs declaration. All information is provided at the time of declaration.
Procedure for submitting a standard customs declaration
You can either pre-lodge a customs declaration which is then activated when the goods arrive, or you can lodge a complete standard customs declaration when the goods are released for free circulation. In a standard customs declaration, all the information must be filled in and submitted at the same time.
If you pre-lodge a customs declaration, you can omit certain details and submit them later - but no later than when the goods arrive and the customs declaration is activated.
