What is AES?

AES (Automated Export System) is a new export system introduced 2/12 2024 by Swedish Customs. This is done in order to comply with the EU’s customs legislation. To finalise export customs procedure, the data submission in AES will take place in three steps:

1. Export declaration (IE515)
   The declarant makes a standard customs declaration and sends the customs declaration digitally to Swedish Customs in message IE515 to have the goods released for the customs export procedure. When the goods are released for export, an MRN number is obtained. The MRN number must then be passed on to the operator who submits the notification of the goods' exit in steps 2 and 3.

2. Notification of goods to the office of exit (IE507)
   When the goods arrive at the place of exit, the carrier or his representative submits a notification of goods to the customs office of exit in message IE507. The notification refers to the MRN of the customs declaration.

3. Notification of exit of goods (IE590)
   When the goods have left the customs territory of the EU, the carrier or his authorised representative notifies the customs office of exit that the goods have left. This is done using message IE590, which refers to the MRN of the customs declaration.
