When an export consignment has been declared under a fallback procedure, the customs offices of exit will also accept SAD forms or other export documents accepted in the EU country in question, marked ”ECS Fallback Procedure”. Export consignments can be declared using the fallback procedure if, at the time of declaration, there is a technical interruption of use in the Finnish Customs system or in the customer’s system.
