Shipping into the EU under duty suspension
From Solingen to any tax warehouse or registered consignee in the EU without German duty arising. We open the electronic administrative document (e-AD) and monitor the movement until the report of receipt.
- Consignee checked in the SEED register before every dispatch
- e-AD and ARC number on the day of loading
- Movement monitored until the report of receipt
How it works
- 01
Dispatch order in the portal
You select pallets, consignee and pickup day. We check stock and any holds.
- 02
SEED check and e-AD
We verify the consignee's excise number and open the e-AD. You receive the ARC number immediately.
- 03
Loading
Your forwarder collects. The driver receives the accompanying document with the ARC and the consignment note.
- 04
Discharge
The consignee files the report of receipt in EMCS. Only then is the movement discharged and booked out of our ledger.

- The consignee's SEED number and address
- A forwarder with VAT ID and vehicle registration
What we take care of
- SEED check, outbound e-AD, ARC
- Accompanying document and consignment note for the driver

Frequently asked questions
Does my EU customer need a tax warehouse?
A tax warehouse or registered consignee status. We verify both via the SEED number.
What if the consignee does not report receipt?
We follow up. Without a report of receipt the movement stays open and duty can arise in Germany. That is why we screen consignees beforehand.
Can you ship to consumers in the EU?
No. Only to consignees listed in the SEED register.
