If you want to change details in EMCS movements, the different options available are shown below.
EMCS-Submissions
According to the German EMCS procedural guidelines, the following applies to an e-AD:
Neither the draft e-AD nor the e-AD transmitted to the consignor may be corrected by the user or the consignor. If a draft e-AD is rejected for technical or substantive reasons, the consignor must submit a new draft. It is not possible to correct the transmitted data.
Therefore, check whether you can cancel the movement or change the destination. If necessary, consult with your main customs office. For more information, see the following articles:
- Cancellation: When can an EMCS submission be cancelled?
- Change of destination: When and for whom may the destination be changed for an EMCS submission?
