Hi Hari,

You are exactly bang on in explaining about what is a Customs document and What is a Customs declaration.

Firstly, please take a look at the below thread where this had been discussed earlier also.

But to further differentiate in real sense,

A Custom document is something that is record in the SAP GTS system of the trade transactions occurring in the SAP logistics system and some time may a supporting document as well. An example of such a case is when we create a sales order , then a customs document is being generated in the GTS system. Here, SAP GTS Custom Documents are just a replica of the SAP feeder system's documents like Sales order etc. with Trade specific data like licenses embedded into them to further assist for future declarations and tracking.

A Custom Declaration is something that contains data to be declared to the appropriate authorities in the specified format.  During this process ,data from the company's SAP business documents is copied into a declaration to further pass on to the authorities for approval for trade and related processes.

I hope that now the things will be clear to you. If not, please open a discussion thread for an open discussion to get the required stuff.
