Quick Answer

The declaration webfallback provides an alternative submission route for customs and transport declarations whenever the primary electronic connection – ERP system or EDI link – is unavailable.

Definition & Explanation

The declaration webfallback provides an alternative submission route for customs and transport declarations whenever the primary electronic connection – ERP system or EDI link – is unavailable. Users access a web-based form directly, entering and transmitting the required declaration data without relying on locally installed software. This sets the webfallback apart from paper-based contingency operations: data is still transmitted electronically to the customs authority, keeping clearance timelines intact. Freight forwarders and customs brokers typically activate this channel during unplanned system outages, scheduled maintenance windows, or EDI communication failures.
