Customs information

It is required to pass customs information when booking the following services from Norway to abroad:

Business Parcel
PickUp Parcel

Sending customs information as part of a booking request only applies to the aforementioned products.

When included during booking, the customs information will be sent electronically from Bring to the destination country.

If sending customs information, the following elements are to be used:

quantity (required)
goodsDescription (required)
customsArticleNumber (optional)
itemNetWeightInKg (required)
tarriffLineAmount (required)
currency (required)
countryOfOrigin (required)
natureOfTransaction (required)

Please refer to the Request params section below for more details about the elements. Customs tariff codes (tolltariffnummer).

Example

In this example, you are sending a parcel/shipment with 2 shampoos, 5 cotton t-shirts and 1 wool jacket. The number of pieces is 8 (2 shampoos + 5 cotton t-shirts + 1 wool jacket), and the number of articles is 3 (shampoo, cotton t-shirt, wool jacket). The whole shipment is referred to as an item.

Quantity	Description of contents	Customs tariff code	Total content net weight (kg)	Total content value	Currency	Country of origin
`2`	`shampoo`	`33.05.1000`	`3.0`	`200`	`NOK`	`CH`
`5`	`cotton t-shirts`	`61.09.1000`	`2.5`	`1000`	`NOK`	`PL`
`1`	`wool jacket`	`61.04.3100`	`2.0`	`750`	`NOK`	`DE`

Nature of Transaction: Gift or Sale of Goods or Returned Goods or Commercial Sample or Documents or Other

Sending Importer party in the request is not mandatory. But if there is no importer sent then system will consider recipient as importer.

Another additional field captured for customs is vatNumber for the parties. This is an optional field. If you are setting importer party then you can add vatNumber in it, else you can set vatNumber in the existing recipient party.

There are two examples in the Request examples section below that show requests containing customs information.

In one of these examples, importer not sent in request, hence the recipient is the importing party with (optional) vatNumber.
In the other example, there is importer party set in the request with the (optional) vatNumber.

IOSS (Import One-Stop Shop) - Adding an IOSS number for exports from Norway to EU

By using the iossNumber element of ediCustomsDeclarations, one can specify an IOSS number for exports from Norway to EU countries. Only applicable when natureOfTransaction is of type SALE_OF_GOODS. Note that this can not be combined with a reference field on the senders party. More info on IOSS.
