Information about the Customs Portal

After registration, the authentication (login) in the IEA is carried out centrally via the Customs Portal.

To use the IEA, a valid excise tax number is required. The IEA provides all system-supported messages required for the initiation, diversion, and completion of movements of excise goods.
