You submit the wine transport document online, by post or fax to the competent control authority at the place of loading. You shall draw up the accompanying document immediately before the transport of the wine, when the wine is loaded onto the transport vehicle and the final number of litres of transport has been determined.

The accompanying document refers only to this transport and cannot be used for other transports.

The electronic wine accompanying document procedure (eWeinBV) allows you to create the wine accompanying document online:

• Before the upcoming transport, log in to the eWeinBV application with your user ID and prepare the electronic wine accompanying document.
• This will guide you step by step through the necessary information, which you can enter online.
• Finally, you confirm that all information provided is correct.
• The accompanying document is created, given a unique reference number and is immutable for you. The transport can begin.
• All parties involved (e.g. driver, winery, commission agents) can now retrieve the electronic wine accompanying document online, or receive it digitally.

Submit accompanying document by post or fax:

• You fill out the 4-fold form legibly and completely.
• You give the driver the original. You keep the remaining three copies.
• The driver hands over the original to the wine transport recipient (e.g. the winery) at the destination.
• No later than one day after the start of the transport, they shall send two copies by post or fax to the competent control authority at the place of loading.
• The remaining carbon copy is for your records.

All you need to do is create and submit the accompanying document. There is no processing or notification by the authority.

There is no deadline. The accompanying document shall be drawn up immediately before transport. A transport permit from an authority is not necessary.
