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.

Confirmation of exit — the document that closes an export

When goods physically leave the EU, the customs office of exit records it and the system issues the confirmation of exit (message CC599C, formerly IE599) to the declarant. Until that happens, the export is not formally closed.

You don't have to wait for paperwork to know where you stand — the current status of any declaration is public, searchable by its MRN.
