Instructions for Completing the Export Declaration

If you are authorised to use electronic customs clearance, you submit the declaration electronically directly to Iceland Revenue and Customs. Otherwise, you must submit a completed E-2.1 form at a customs office.

Fields that are not described in these instructions are not used for export declarations.
