Documents, certificates, declarations used during export procedure

Export declaration is submitted to the relevant customs authority, competent according to the exporter’s head office or domicile or according to the place where such goods are packaged or loaded for export. The goods declared for export remain under customs surveillance from the time the declaration is accepted until the time such goods leave the customs territory of Serbia, are destroyed or the declaration is rendered invalid. Release of goods for export is approved provided the goods are exported from the customs territory of the Republic of Serbia in the state they were in at the time of acceptance of the export declaration.

In regular customs procedure, the form and content, the manner of submitting and filling in of the declaration, as well as of other forms used in the customs procedure, are governed by the Rulebook on Form, Content, Manner of Submitting and Completing Declaration and Other Forms Used in the Customs Procedure.

For the purpose of pursuing the prescribed duties, the customs authority may exercise all control activities in order to ensure proper application of the Customs Law and other regulations.
