Nothing but legal goods across our borders
Swedish Customs are working for a society free of goods that endanger the environment and human health and security, and where businesses compete on equal terms.
42 000 explosives
In the first half of 2025, Swedish Customs seized more than 42 000 explosives. This compares to 15 000 in the same period in 2024. Mostly it's about bangers, a type of homemade charges used in gang-related blasts.
