Export Customs Clearance Cyprus — Licensed Agents at Limassol Port
P.Panagi & Sons Ltd provides export customs clearance services for businesses and individuals at Limassol Port. Whether you are exporting commercial goods, personal effects, or specialist cargo, our licensed customs brokers handle all documentation and declarations on your behalf — ensuring your goods leave Cyprus fully compliant with EU export regulations.
What Is Export Customs Clearance?
When goods leave Cyprus for a non-EU destination, they must pass through Cyprus Customs with the correct export declaration submitted and approved. Goods moving within the EU (intra-community supply) have different requirements. Getting this wrong — or attempting it without a licensed agent — can result in shipment delays, fines, or goods being held at port.
A licensed customs broker in Cyprus ensures your export is handled correctly, with all declarations submitted electronically through the Cyprus AIS system on your behalf.

Export Services We Provide
EX1 and EX2 Export Declarations
Electronic submission of all export declarations via the Cyprus AIS system. EX1 for goods in free circulation leaving the EU; EX2 for goods not in free circulation. We determine the correct procedure for your shipment and handle the full submission process.
Certificates of Origin & EUR.1
A EUR.1 movement certificate proves the origin of your goods and enables preferential duty treatment in the destination country under EU trade agreements. We prepare and submit EUR.1 certificates and Form A certificates of origin as part of our export service.
EU and Non-EU Export Compliance
Whether your goods are heading to the Middle East, Asia, the UK, or beyond, we ensure full compliance with EU export regulations and the import requirements of the destination country.
Commercial and Personal Exports
We handle both commercial shipments for businesses and personal exports for individuals — including household goods, vehicles, and personal effects. Each has different documentation requirements; our team advises you on the correct approach from the outset.
Time-Critical Cargo
Most export declarations are processed within 1 working day. For time-sensitive shipments, we prioritise submission and coordinate directly with port and shipping agents to keep your cargo on schedule.
Freight Forwarding Coordination
We work alongside your shipping agent or freight forwarder to ensure customs documentation is aligned with transport bookings — avoiding costly delays at the port.
Documents Required for Export Clearance in Cyprus
The exact documents depend on the type of shipment and destination, but for most exports you will need:

- EORI number (for business exporters)
- Certificate of origin or EUR.1 certificate (where required)
