Understanding Simplified Export Declaration in SAP GTS
Introduction
- In international trade, customs declarations are required for exports.
- Sometimes, exporters or subcontractors don’t have all the required information at the time of shipment.
- Simplified export procedures allow the submission of an incomplete export declaration without prior approval.
Key Concepts
1. What is a Simplified Export Declaration?
- Exporters can submit an incomplete customs declaration to avoid delays.
- There is no need for prior authorization to use this procedure.
2. Why is it Used?
- Commonly used in chain transactions where multiple parties are involved.
- Subcontractors responsible for export declarations may not have all the required details at the time of shipment.
3. Supplementary Export Declaration (eAM)

- This ensures compliance while allowing the export process to continue smoothly.
