The service is aimed at shipping operators and shipping companies, and opens an access channel for sending EXS directly to Customs: information traffic between both agents is completely transparent.

The service exploits the advantages of the one-stop electronic window in the broadest sense, inasmuch as it enables sending and management of Exit Summary Declarations, as soon as information is made available, without taking into consideration any type of timetable restrictions.

This implies the availability of a one-stop window for both Exit Summary Declarations and Export Cargo Lists. The cargo list for embarkation is contrasted at the beginning of the process and in real time with the clearance information coming from Customs. The resultant information is later made available to the Customs, thus avoiding handing over the different Customs documents on paper. In the near future, information from Exit Summary Declarations can be used to make up, with the inclusion of a minimum set of data, the Load Cargo Manifest by taking advantage of the information already in the system.
