Monthly declaration for ship supplies

If you often deliver goods to vessels or aircraft, you can apply for an authorisation for simplification of ship supplies (EIA) from Customs. With this authorisation, the goods are placed under the export procedure with an entry in the declarant’s records, and the procedure is discharged with a subsequent supplementary declaration (monthly figures). The supplementary declaration must be submitted no later than the 16th day of the following month.

You can only use the authorisation for deliveries of goods to vessels or aircraft located in Finland.

You can’t use the ship supply authorisation for goods that require an export licence. An electronic declaration for ship supplies must be submitted for such goods.

You can start lodging the declaration by choosing the export declaration type “Monthly declaration for ship supplies”. Under “Start to lodge a declaration”, you can start lodging the declaration.
