What is CC599C?
CC599C is the electronic message an EU customs system issues once goods covered by an export declaration have left the Union. It replaced the older IE599 message and is what accountants mean by “export confirmation”.

Frequently asked questions
What does the CC599C message contain?
The MRN, the export and exit customs offices, and the date the goods left the EU — the complete record that the export procedure was closed.
Is CC599C the same as IE599?
Functionally yes: IE599 came from the older ECS system, CC599C from the current AES. The old name is still widely used in practice.
Is CC599C proof for 0% VAT?
It is the primary customs evidence that goods left the EU, which underpins zero-rating an export. Confirm the exact requirements for your country with your accountant.
Is your MRN still open?
We close MRNs in European port systems and obtain the export confirmation (CC599C / IE599) for exporters and freight forwarders. The assessment and quote are free.
