Collect invoices, packing lists, transport records and the supporting documents relevant to the shipment.
- 02

Prepare classification proposals and configured trade compliance checks, with evidence for review.

- 05
Hand over
Transfer reviewed data through the agreed interface to your existing customs filing software.
BUILT AROUND LOCAL CUSTOMS PROCESSES
Connected evidence. Distinct procedures.
Each procedure needs its own data and review. Digicust supports preparation; the agreed filing software and responsible operator handle authority submissions.
ATLAS-IMPORT
Import
Prepare ATLAS import declarations.
ATLAS supports electronic customs processing in Germany. For import preparation, align commercial information with the intended procedure and the evidence your declarant needs.
- Reconcile invoice positions, quantities and freight documents.
- Prepare classification, value and origin evidence for review.
- Identify missing party identifiers and document references.
How Digicust fits. Your team approves the prepared data before it reaches the agreed software interface. Filing, access rights and authority responses remain with the responsible operator and filing system.
Official guidance · ATLAS-IMPORTATLAS-EXPORT
Export
Prepare ATLAS export data.
The export workflow needs goods, parties and procedure-specific information. Your expert assesses export-control questions separately from the tariff classification.
- Match ERP product records with invoice descriptions.
- Collect supporting documents and potential licensing questions.
- Hand approved data to the agreed ATLAS-capable software.
How Digicust fits. Your team approves the prepared data before it reaches the agreed software interface. Filing, access rights and authority responses remain with the responsible operator and filing system.
Official guidance · ATLAS-EXPORTNCTS
Transit
Prepare the transit dossier.
Union and Common Transit require a separate movement dataset. The German transit workflow uses ATLAS/NCTS; import or export preparation alone does not complete transit.
- Reconcile packages, gross weights and transport details.
- Collect customs-office and guarantee references.
- Keep movement identifiers linked to the correct consignment.

The details that change the workflow.
Start with the actual goods, route and procedure. Prepare the evidence your customs team needs to make and document its decisions.
EU tariff context
Bring technical product facts into the review of EU tariff classification and applicable measures. Avoid carrying a vague invoice description into every future declaration.
Procedure-specific data
Agree the import, export or transit message scope with your ATLAS software provider. Reuse common shipment facts while keeping procedure-specific fields separate.
Evidence and exceptions
Give the declarant a traceable dossier: what came from the invoice, what came from master data and what still needs a decision.
AN ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW
One shipment. A clearer handover.
A German manufacturer exports replacement components. The invoice says “machine parts”, while the ERP contains more precise product data. Your team needs a classification proposal, an export-control review and consistent information for the ATLAS export dossier.
- 01
Bring the evidence together
Match invoice, packing-list and transport records. Retrieve relevant product data through the sources connected to your implementation.
- 02
Show what needs attention
Surface conflicting details and missing evidence. Prepare proposals where the available information supports them; keep uncertainty visible.
- 03
Review and hand over
Your expert resolves open questions and approves the relevant dataset. Transfer it through the agreed interface, with the scope defined for each procedure.
Illustrative example, not a customer result. Sources, checks and connections depend on the implementation.
CONNECTED AI CAPABILITIES
The right support for every part of preparation.
Intelligent document processing
Read multilingual invoices, packing lists and CMRs. Match line items and spot discrepancies before they reach the declaration.

Before you automate customs preparation in Germany.
Does Digicust replace our ATLAS customs software?
Digicust supports preparation and review around your existing software. The agreed interface determines the handover; access, transmission and authority responses remain part of your filing setup.
Can we keep our existing customs software?
That is the intended preparation-layer approach. Confirm the supported interface, required fields and responsibilities with Digicust and your filing-software provider before implementation.
Can we start with one shipment type?
Yes. Define a representative document set, one procedure and an agreed review workflow. Evaluate preparation time, corrections and unresolved fields against your current process.
Who makes the customs decisions?
Your responsible experts review classification proposals, uncertain data and possible licensing requirements. AI assistance does not replace their judgement or the authority’s decision.
