UTU Export - Final Rules
On December 14th, the transition period for UTU Export, AES Export and DMS Export is over.
This means that several important changes will take effect. From this date, companies must fully follow the new procedures, as the previous systems and temporary exceptions will no longer be accepted.
Final export rules may change documentation requirements, processes, or handling procedures in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland.
These rules are defined by the local customs authorities and may be updated on the day the final rules take effect.
We therefore recommend that you check the applicable rules with the customs authority in the relevant country before exporting on this date.
