How do I receive supporting customs documents for imports processed through my own deferment account and not through DHL’s deferment account?
If you would like to process your imports through your own deferment account, please contact your sales representative to ensure that the information is forwarded directly to our customs clearance experts in Leipzig. Please enter your EORI number and e-mail address to ensure that this information can be stored in the corresponding customs clearance system. For import shipments processed through your own deferment account, the supporting customs documents are not sent through DHL e-Billing but rather through a different system. For this reason, the e-mail with which you receive your documents looks slightly different.

Original documents and tax law aspects
Do DHL e-Billing invoices meet tax law requirements?
Yes, e-Billing invoices comply with VAT law: DHL e-Billing invoices and all other documents made available through MyBill are certified and legally compliant original documents that satisfy the relevant VAT provisions for customs clearance as well as of the EU and Germany.
Is the customs duty notification transmitted through e-Billing/e-Paperwork an original document?
Yes, the transmitted customs duty notification is an original document. Imports at DHL Express are carried out using the customs-certified ATLAS IT system, which satisfies the requirements for automated processing stipulated by the General Directorate of Customs according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 of the Union Customs Code (UCC). All customs declarations are therefore transmitted electronically to the customs office and also returned electronically. The customs declaration is created in PDF format by the customs-certified IT interface, and in this case is the original document. The customs declarations transmitted through DHL e-Billing therefore are original documents just like the printed versions.
Is the customs declaration transmitted through e-Billing or e-Paperwork permissible as verification for input tax deduction?
Yes, according to Section 15.11 (1) 2. of the VAT Application Decree ("Umsatzsteuer-Anwendungserlass"), for imports processed through the ATLAS IT procedure there are no concerns about providing this verification electronically or, if needed, as a printout of the electronically transmitted declaration of the import duties (see Article 52 of the Value Added Tax (VAT) Decree (MwStVO). If there are doubts about the amount of import sales tax deducted as input tax, the tax offices can request information using the procedure provided by the German Federal Central Tax Office for online queries of import data saved in the ATLAS process.
What is the situation for customs documents not produced by DHL that I have to have original copies of?
Proofs of preference (such as EUR.1, A. TR or Form A) generally remain attached to the shipment. If customs insists that the preferences be presented, they are removed from the shipment, presented to customs and then delivered by post.
Please also keep in mind that there is now a new electronic procedure (REX) that is designed to replace paper documents in the future. It is being introduced in several stages. There are 5 blocks (time windows) overall in which each time, several countries will apply the REX procedure and shippers can register there. The original documents (ATR, EUR 1, etc.) will therefore gradually be replaced by a number on the commercial invoices. A transition period lasting several years has been defined for the changeover; it began on January 1, 2017, and is scheduled to end on December 31, 2020.
How do I know if the invoice comes from DHL?
The invoice in PDF format includes an electronic signature which ensures that the invoice was issued by DHL.
