AM

The term “AM”, short for export declaration, plays an important role in international logistics. The export declaration is a formal process carried out by companies in order to properly handle the export of goods.

In the logistics industry, the export declaration is subject to certain legal regulations, in particular Sections 449 and 466 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). These regulations are highly relevant as they restrict the use of pre-formulated contract terms and protect the rights of the contracting parties.

The export declaration is a complex process that takes into account international regulations and customs rules in addition to legal requirements. Companies in the logistics sector must ensure that their export declarations comply with the applicable regulations in order to guarantee smooth export processes.

The opposite of the standardized export declaration process is the individual contract. These are specific, individually negotiated agreements between the contracting parties. The differentiation and clear definition of these terms is essential to ensure legal clarity and security in logistics practice.

Companies should always keep up to date with the latest changes in the law and, if necessary, adapt their processes to meet the legal requirements. Legal advice can help to ensure the smooth and legally compliant export of goods.

Overall, the export declaration (DD) is a central part of logistics activities in international trade and companies should design their processes accordingly to ensure legal compliance and efficiency.
