Instructions for Completing the Export Declaration
Service provider:
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.
If the goods are not sold FOB Icelandic port of shipment, enter the freight charges, insurance premiums, and any other costs that must be added to or deducted from the invoice value in order to determine the total FOB value. See Boxes 20 and 22.
As the entire declaration must be completed in a single currency, all costs, including freight charges, insurance premiums, and other expenses, must be converted into the currency used on the invoice.
For example, if the invoice is issued in GBP and the freight charge is invoiced in DKK, the freight charge must be converted into GBP before being entered.
Enter the following cost codes immediately before the corresponding amount, without spaces, together with a plus sign (+) or minus sign (-), as applicable.

FG | Freight charges |
VT | Insurance |
EU | Foreign agency commissions |
