FAQ

Common questions about MRN closure

How to close MRN if much time has passed since export?
Even if several months have passed since the goods were exported, MRN can still be closed. All that is needed is the MRN number from the original export declaration. Our team verifies the MRN status in the customs system and takes steps to close it in the appropriate port system.
How much does MRN closure cost?
NL/BE ports — from 15 EUR per container, DE ports — from 20 EUR. Detailed pricing on /en/pricing. Free initial verification.
How long does MRN closure take?
Standard orders are processed on the same business day after complete submission. Archive cases requiring retrieval of archival port manifests may require additional time (typically 24–48 hours).
Can I close MRN without a customs broker?
Yes — our service does not require you to have your own customs broker. We act as a specialized intermediary with direct access to port systems (ZAPP, BHT, WHT, Portbase, APCS) and file on your behalf.
How can I check if my MRN is closed?
MRN status can be checked on the European Commission website (ec.europa.eu — MRN tracker), in PUESC or through our customer panel. If the status shows "open" or there is no CC599C/IE599 message, the MRN is not closed and requires intervention.
