ABD creation for all customers. Real-time automation for Platinum.
An export accompanying document doesn't have to be complicated. Paket International supports all customers with the necessary ABDs and integrates document creation with the actual shipping process.
The key difference: For Platinum customers, ABD creation becomes an automated, real-time workflow. Shipping, product, and customs data are accessed directly from the platform. This ensures that ABD, MRN, shipping label, tracking information, commercial invoice, and export documents are correctly assigned to a shipment.
ABD creation for all customers
We will create the export accompanying document for your shipment if a formal electronic export declaration is required.
Real-time process for platinum customers
Platinum customers benefit from automated ABD creation directly from existing platform data.
No isolated document creation
ABD, MRN, shipping label, tracking and customs documents are linked to the shipping process.
For individual shipments and scalable exports
Suitable for occasional shipments to third countries as well as for regular export processes in e-commerce, B2B and fulfillment.
ABD, MRN, labeling and tracking belong in a common process.
Many export problems arise because customs documents and shipping data are processed separately. Paket International combines the creation of export declarations directly with shipping.
1
ABD creation for all customers
Paket International creates export accompanying documents for all customers when a shipment requires an electronic export declaration. You do not need to handle the ABD process manually with customs yourself.
2
Real-time ABD for Platinum customers
For Platinum customers, the ABD can be automatically generated in real time from existing shipping, goods, and customs data. Ideal for companies with regular export volumes.

MRN, label and tracking connected
The export accompanying document is not a separate document from the shipment. MRN, shipping label, tracking information, commercial invoice, and export documents are all neatly linked to a single shipment.
The export accompanying document is a key export document.
The export accompanying document (EAD) is generated as part of the electronic export declaration. It accompanies the export process and contains the MRN, the unique reference number of the customs transaction.
Electronic export declaration
The shipment will be electronically declared for export by customs.
MRN as reference number
The Master Reference Number assigns the shipment to the specific export transaction.
Link to shipping data
ABD, shipping label, tracking and commercial invoice must match up perfectly.
Proof of export processes
For businesses, clear documentation is important for shipping, customs, accounting and verification purposes.
When is an export accompanying document required?
An ABD (Electronic Export Declaration) becomes relevant when an electronic export declaration is required for a shipment to a third country. This primarily affects commercial exports, higher-value goods, or shipments with customs-related requirements.

Important:
Whether an export accompanying document is required depends on the specific export transaction. Key factors include the destination country, the value of the goods, the type of goods, their weight, the recipient, and customs regulations. Paket International helps you set up the appropriate process smoothly.

This is how ABD creation works with the International package
Paket International creates export accompanying documents for all customers when an electronic export declaration is required. For Platinum customers, this process can be automated in real time directly from the shipping workflow.
1
Record shipment data
Recipient address, package data, goods items, values, weight, customs tariff numbers and shipping method are recorded or taken from a connected system.
2
Check ABD obligation
Based on the destination country, value of goods, weight, type of goods and export requirements, it is checked whether an electronic export declaration with ABD is required.
3
Prepare export declaration
The relevant export data is structured and prepared for the customs process so that an export accompanying document can be created.
4
Create ABD
For all customers, the ABD (Export Document) can be generated as part of the export process. For Platinum customers, this step is automated in real time using existing platform data.
5
Link MRN with broadcast
The MRN is assigned to the shipping process so that the export accompanying document, shipping label, tracking and export data are traceably linked.
6
Prepare documents and shipping
Shipping label, commercial invoice, ABD and other relevant customs documents are bundled and available for the further shipping process.
What information is required for an export accompanying document?
For a clean export declaration (EBD) to be created, shipping data, product data, and customs data must be consistent. The more structured the information, the faster the export process can be completed.
1
Sender & Executor
Company name, address, contact details, EORI number and role in the export process.
2
Recipient & Destination Country
Full recipient address, country of delivery, contact person and import information.
3
Goods items
Description of goods, customs tariff number, quantity, weight, value of goods and origin of goods.
4
Shipping data
Packages, dimensions, weight, carrier, service level and desired delivery conditions.
Why ABD processes often get stuck
Errors in export accompanying documents often do not arise from the document itself, but from incomplete or contradictory shipping and goods data.
Our advantage:
Paket International approaches the export process not document-wise, but shipment-wise. This ensures that the ABD, MRN, shipping label, tracking, commercial invoice, and export documentation are seamlessly integrated.
Unclear product description
Terms like "accessories", "spare parts" or "samples" are often too vague and can trigger follow-up questions.

Create an ABD – manually guided or automated in real time.
Paket International creates export accompanying documents for all customers as soon as a shipment requires an electronic export declaration. Platinum customers also benefit from an automated, real-time process where ABD, MRN, shipping label, tracking, and customs documents are directly linked.
Create ABD documents: Export documents, shipping labels and customs clearance all in one process.
Anyone shipping goods from Germany or the EU to a third country needs an electronic export declaration and an export accompanying document, depending on the shipment. The export accompanying document is not just a single form, but part of a complete export process. It is crucial that the goods values, customs tariff numbers, recipient details, shipping information, commercial invoice, and tracking data are correctly matched.
Paket International creates export accompanying documents for all customers when a shipment requires an export declaration. This means customers don't have to handle the export accompanying document process alone and benefit from a seamless connection between shipping, customs, and documentation.
For Platinum customers, Paket International offers an additional, particularly strong automation advantage: Export accompanying documents can be generated in real time from the platform's existing shipping, goods, and customs data. The MRN (Minimum Reference Number) is linked to the shipment, shipping labels and tracking information are assigned, and the export documents remain fully traceable.
This connection is particularly crucial for online retailers, fulfillment service providers, manufacturers, and B2B shippers with regular shipments to third countries. Instead of manually transferring export data, ABD creation, customs documentation, shipping labels, and tracking can be combined in a structured shipping process.
