MRN closure at ports

Send us the booking and export document with the MRN. For dangerous goods, include the IMO/DG document. We handle port registration and ongoing support. If customs selects the goods for inspection, we will coordinate the process until the container is released.

Export clearance and ongoing MRN handling

We prepare and lodge export declarations within the agreed scope and under the appropriate authority. We check the documents and identify the competent office of export. For shipments through a port, clearance can be combined with port registration. We also handle MRNs from declarations prepared by another customs agency.

Three main ports with different registrations

We identify the required service from the port, terminal and shipment documents. Moving to another port may require a new registration in a different system.

  • Hamburg: Z-Nummer and ZAPP/EMP registration.
  • Bremerhaven: BHT registration.
  • Wilhelmshaven: WHT registration.

For Bremen, Cuxhaven or another port, send the terminal name and documents. We confirm the appropriate scope before accepting the order.

T1 across Germany, including inland locations

We handle transit formalities for road and rail movements from a port or another location in Germany to the agreed destination. We provide T1 transit security, including for high volumes and high value shipments. We check the cargo, route and presentation arrangements. Excise, military or strategic goods and goods requiring veterinary formalities are assessed individually. We do not provide the transport itself.

T1 service scope and document checklist

Coffee and alcohol moving through Germany

We submit the required notifications after checking the goods and procedure. For coffee, the work may include notification to the competent office and notices of the transport and border crossing. Coffee formalities are separate from EMCS.

Email the documents and we will check the details

Send the available documents, location and planned timing. We extract the data and identify any gaps. Port registration requires the booking and export document with its MRN; for T1, include the departure point, destination and commercial documents. We monitor available statuses within the order scope. After a booking change or a confirmed hold, we review the situation, propose action and agree any additional cost before proceeding.

One shipment or ongoing cooperation

We accept individual and irregular orders. For regular work, we learn your goods and process; pricing considers volume, repeat goods, document completeness and working arrangements. Individual billing or agreed consolidated invoices, for example weekly or fortnightly, are available depending on the history of cooperation. A repeat registration is billed as another service.

Before you send a request

Can you handle just the German part of our shipment?

Yes. You can assign export clearance, port registration for an existing MRN or T1 for onward clearance by your chosen agency. We agree each party’s tasks and who receives updates. For port handling alone, exit confirmation normally goes to the agency responsible for the export declaration, which passes it to the client.

How quickly will you reply and prepare a declaration?

Our reply standard is up to 15 minutes during business hours: Monday to Friday, 08:00–17:30 Polish time (CET/CEST). Preparing a declaration usually takes about an hour after complete documents and details. Customs decisions, inspections, loading and exit confirmation follow the course of the case. Evening or weekend handling can be agreed via WhatsApp.

Do I have to use a form or client portal?

No. Email the documents and we will extract and verify the details. We ask only for missing information and approval of the necessary actions. The form and client portal are optional; an API integration can be agreed individually.
