CloseMRN for importers and exporters

Export and T1 formalities for your goods

We handle export declarations, port MRNs and T1 in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Email the documents and we will check the details, agree the scope and keep you informed. For regular shipments, we learn your goods and working arrangements so your logistics team has less to explain each time.

Send your documents. For regular orders, tell us your services, ports and approximate monthly volume.

Import · transit

For importers

Moving goods from a port or inland location in Germany, the Netherlands or Belgium to a destination customs office? We prepare T1 with transit security, including for high volumes and high value shipments. Your chosen agency handles import clearance at destination. Our service covers the transit formalities, not the transport itself.

  • T1 transit on supported routes.
  • Information on required documents and next steps.
  • Service scope agreed for your route and goods.
  • Terms for regular T1 volumes.

Your goods and process stay familiar

At the start, we agree which goods you ship or receive, the services you need and the information required. For later shipments, we use those arrangements while checking current documents and changes. Your logistics team does not need to explain the whole process again with every order.

Email documents, then fill only the gaps

Send the documents or ask your forwarder to share them with us. We extract and verify the details, then ask for missing information and decisions. We can work directly with your team or through the forwarder or customs agency you select. The client portal is optional; API integration can be agreed for the required data exchange.

Updates when a booking changes or a hold appears

We check available registration and release statuses during the agreed period. We verify changes, report confirmed problems and propose the next action. We also help coordinate inspections within the service scope. A repeat registration is billed as another MRN service; we agree other additional work and costs before proceeding.

Documents for the stage you need

Send what is already available.

  • Export clearance: commercial invoice, packing list and exporter details. We identify further requirements, including the appropriate authority.
  • Port MRN handling: booking, export document with MRN and cargo details. Include IMO/DG for dangerous goods.
  • T1: departure location, destination and available commercial and transport documents.

We will check the documents and ask for any missing details. An inland T1 enquiry does not require a port.

Terms for regular volumes

Established routes and regular volumes?

Pricing considers volume, repeat goods, complete documents and the organisation of the process. Smaller volumes can also receive favourable terms. We accept single and irregular requests. Individual billing or consolidated invoices, for example weekly or fortnightly, can be agreed depending on the history of cooperation.

You choose how to communicate with us. Send requests by email, through the client portal or via WhatsApp. In urgent situations, you can also call us.

We offer preferential terms for regular volumes, based on the service, route and number of requests.

Service scope

Ports and additional services

For exports, order an export declaration or port handling for an existing MRN. For imports, ask about T1 on your route. The scope depends on the goods, documents and location.

Transporting roasted or soluble coffee may require prior notification. Check the rules and arrange the formalities before transport.

Before we start working together

Can a smaller exporter get favourable terms?

Yes. We consider repeat goods, complete documents and clear working arrangements as well as volume. You can also send a single or irregular request. We agree the rate and scope before starting.

Who sends the final exit confirmation?

For port handling alone, the final confirmation normally goes to the agency responsible for the export declaration, which passes it to the client. We provide the registration confirmation, available statuses and support with changes and inspections within the order scope.

Can we work directly with CloseMRN?

Yes. You can ask us to handle formalities for your own goods. Send the documents. We will handle the request and let you know if we need further details from your forwarder or the agency that prepared the declaration.

What do you handle for exporters and for importers?

We provide export clearance, port registrations and ongoing MRN handling for exporters, including transport changes. For importers, we arrange T1 transit on supported routes. T1 is a separate procedure; this service does not include full import customs clearance.

Which documents will we need?

  • Export clearance requires an invoice, packing list, exporter details and a power of attorney, among other documents.
  • For port registration, send the booking, export document with its MRN and cargo details. Include an IMO/DG document for dangerous goods.
  • For a T1 enquiry, start with the departure location, destination and goods description.

We will check the documents and identify anything missing. The selected service form also lists its requirements.

Do you handle changes to an existing registration?

We help with changes affecting the registration we handle, such as a revised booking, a later sailing or updated details. If the customs declaration itself needs an amendment, we establish the action required with the party responsible for it.

Can you help with coffee formalities involving Germany?

Yes. Send the coffee documents and route. We check the German notification requirement, submit the required notice and arrange the transport and border crossing notification. Coffee formalities are separate from EMCS.
