There are financial consequences if your company is not ready for DMS

e-Export closes on September 1 this year. As an exporter, you will therefore have to deal with a new customs reporting system – DMS.

If you are not prepared for how to handle your customs and export registrations, you will NOT be able to export your goods after this date!

You must act now if you want to avoid major financial consequences for your business when all new customs declarations must be made in the new DMS (Declaration Management System).

Why is e-Export closing?

The purpose of DMS is to digitize and standardize all paper-based processes in all EU countries. Therefore, now is the time to close old export declarations in e-Export and make sure you are ready for the transition.

Already on May 1, parts of SKAT’s new customs system DMS (Declaration Management System) will be launched to keep the schedule. The system includes import, export and shipping in one system.

I have integrated from ERP to e-Export - what do I do?

If you have a system-to-system solution (e.g. between your ERP system and e-Export) that is specially programmed to integrate with other systems, it is important to prepare for the new integration options that will be available from September 1st. The AS4 system will act as a centralized solution that collects and passes data to the DMS system, so it is necessary to ensure that your system-to-system solution is able to integrate with AS4.

You should start by researching the necessary integration options and applying for access to the test systems so you can test your system-to-system solution and ensure it works properly with AS4 and the DMS system.

It’s important to ensure that your DMS implementation is secure and compliant, so it’s a good idea to start the process as early as possible to avoid any delays or issues. Most people have yet to experience an IT integration running 100% on schedule…

I have outsourced customs management - what do I do?

If you have outsourced the task, it is also your responsibility to ensure that your partners are ready to use the new system, as you have the control responsibility.

Even if your company uses external parties to handle customs clearance and registration of shipments, you must ensure that you are ready in good time and that your partners meet the upcoming requirements for the DMS. The consequence could be that your goods risk being delayed or stranded en route to your customers.

This also applies if you use a standardized software solution provided and maintained by an external party. Always remember that as the sender, you have the ultimate control responsibility. So make sure you take the necessary precautions and work with your partners to ensure a smooth transition to the new system.

What do you need to do now?

Your own systems and processes need to be updated and changed. You can either allocate resources for this, or you can buy into the tailored industry solution based on user input that we develop.

So if you’re thinking of integrating yourself, talk to us first. It can save you a lot of IT resources. We develop the DMS integration between our platform and SKAT together with our customers to give users the best experience.

If you are not prepared to use DMS for export and shipping from September 1st, you will need a customs representative to submit your declarations until you are ready for the transition.

This can be costly.

Based on the new EU Customs Code (EUTK), all Danish companies using the transit system or exporting goods must use the new DMS Transit and DMS Export by September 1, 2023.

All countries in the EU must exchange data in the same way, which means that most of the current Danish customs IT solutions will need to be replaced.

  • If your company uses a system-to-system solution for export and transit declarations from a software vendor, make sure they are in the process of developing a solution for DMS and that they are aware of the onboarding process relevant to them.
  • If you use e-Export, be aware of when the onboarding process for companies making and submitting returns starts.
  • If you are developing your own customs solution and you have not entered the DMS development environment, you must apply for access to it here: https://skat.dk/data.aspx?oid=2364489
  • If you are an exporter and use a customs representative to make and submit your declarations, you need to ensure that your customs representative is up to date on DMS and ready to start using it. In addition, you also need to make sure you have the right information available for your customs representative.
