ATLAS – Customs software of the German Customs Administration

The ATLAS process (Automatisiertes Tarif- und lokales Zoll-Abwicklungssystem) is the customs software used by the German Customs Administration for organizing your customs processing, including customs declaration and import levy notifications electronically.

Your registration data is saved centrally and can be accessed and processed by the Customs Administration at any time. This not only accelerates transportation of your goods, but also simplifies communication with other European customs administrations.

You can use the ATLAS software not only to record your

  • receipt and shipment declarations,
  • general customs declarations, and
  • presentation notifications,

but also to view decisions and notifications from the customs authorities. To use the IT software, you must first register with the Customs Administration as an economic agent, and take other steps. Then you will be assigned an EORI number. Furthermore, certain hardware equipment and software skills such as the EDIFACT or XML format are required to send messages via ATLAS. Many companies hire specialized service providers, since audited in-house software often exceeds their own budgets. Contact our ATLAS specialists to find out what you need, and let us be your experts for customs clearance using the ATLAS process.

ATLAS Export

If you want to export goods from the European Union, you are obligated to take part in the electronic ATLAS export process. This is required under Article 6 of the 1st EU Customs Code. The means of transportation

  • Road transport
  • Air transport
  • Sea transport or
  • Train transport

does not play a key role here. Only in specific exceptional cases (e.g. export as part of a Carnet ATA) can you avoid participating in the electronic ATLAS export process. You are obligated to register for ATLAS export to countries outside of the European Union for goods valued over 1,000 euros or weighing more than 1,000 kg. The export declaration is submitted electronically via the ATLAS software online. If you are not a permitted exporter, you will submit your declaration via the two-step normal process.
