Declaration status by MRN
Before you interpret the result: The data comes from the European Commission's search, is for information only and is not binding. The EC refreshes it once a day (overnight) — it is not a real-time view. The binding state of a declaration is held by the customs system where it was lodged.

Proof of exit — verify it in seconds

For an exporter, “proof of exit” means customs evidence that the goods left the EU — delivered as the CC599C / IE599 message. It is the document that makes a zero-rated export defensible.

With just the MRN you can verify below whether that proof exists yet for your declaration.

When is proof of exit issued?

After the customs office of exit registers the physical departure of the goods — usually within hours to a few days of the truck, vessel or plane leaving.

Can I verify it without asking my forwarder?

Yes — declaration statuses are public. Enter the MRN above and you'll see whether exit has been confirmed, before anyone sends you the file.
