We need this information to be able to carry out proper export and import clearance (in case of customs clearance) in the recipient country outside of the EU and Åland. It is important that the documentation is accurate and complete since the customs authorities' classification of the goods, the determination of VAT and any customs and import duties are based on the information from this documentation. Please note that you as the sender are always responsible for attaching the correct customs documents. Carefully fill out all the necessary fields in the various documents. If there's information missing, your goods may be delayed.
As a sender, it is important to check that you have applied for an EORI number to avoid delays at the customs. It is important that you have obtained the EORI number before your cargo is loaded, otherwise your cargo may not move. You apply for this on the Swedish Customs Agency's website.
Place the customs documents in a plastic document folder, which is visibly fixed onto your shipment and mail the same documents to your transport company. Write in English if the shipment is to be sent to other countries than Norway and Åland.
