Creating export declarations in fallback procedure
You can use the fallback procedure to create customs declarations with a fallback document if for technical reasons it is not possible to create an electronic customs declaration. This fallback document must be signed by the exporter or the freight forwarder. Once the problem has been fixed, send in the customs declaration electronically. The customs authorities will send you the release electronically.
Before you create a customs declaration in fallback procedure, you must consult with the BAZG.
Information on the system availability of the BAZG can be found on the official website.
When opening the fallback procedure, there are two scenarios depending on whether the declaration has already been sent to the customs authorities.
