Instructions for Completing the Export Declaration

An export declaration is a mandatory document for all commercial exports. It may be submitted electronically or on paper using form E-2.1.

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.

    Goods, Tariff Classification and Value – Boxes 31 to 47

    Boxes 31 to 47 must be completed separately for each tariff classification code (commodity code).

    If the consignment contains more than three tariff classification codes, use continuation sheet E-2.2 or E-2.4 to provide the additional information.
