Export: Electronic assessment decisions eVV (e-dec)

The assessment decision serves as proof that the named goods have been properly assessed. It also serves as the basis for refunds, value-added tax exemptions, settlements for processing relief transactions, and so forth.

The date of issue of the assessment decision is what counts when determining deadlines for filing complaints or limitation periods.

When the customs administration registers an approval for further processing in its computer system, this generates an electronic assessment decision (eVV). This signed, encrypted XML file is made available for retrieval by the customs administration within a certain period following the approval and is regarded as submitted from this point forward. You are not actively notified when the eVV is available for retrieval.

A PDF can be displayed and used as an aid, but only the electronic assessment decision is legally valid.

Individual and collective retrieval of eVV

You can use a batch to automatically retrieve all your eVVs for up to 10 days retroactively. In the respective retrieval settings, you define whether you wish to retrieve all eVVs or only those for which you have created a declaration in the AEB system. You also have the option to manually retrieve individual eVVs (including those older than 10 days).

A signature verification is run whenever an eVV is received. If the result is negative, the eVV is not imported. The result of the signature verification is saved in a check log. You have the option to run another ad hoc signature verification. The result of this ad hoc signature verification is not saved.

Filtering and opening eVVs

You can filter and open the retrieved eVVs. You can also open the eVV (in PDF format) from the corresponding export declaration.
