EDI – Registration for electronic communication via EDI
EDI stands for Electronic Data Interchange and means that your company can communicate electronically, system to system, with Swedish Customs. To do this, your company must apply for a registration for communication via EDI (TVEDI).
In order to send and receive EDI messages to Swedish Customs your company must ascertain technical and formal approval from us.

Apply for registration for electronic communication via EDI
To gain access to Swedish Customs’ EDI system you need to apply for a registration for electronic communication via EDI (TVEDI). The technical conditions for the company’s EDI communication are defined in the application.
Register contact persons authorised to administer signature certificates and order signature certificates
Swedish Customs applies a PKI-based security concept for our EDI communication. When applying for TVEDI you must also register one or more contact persons to administer the company’s PKI signature certificates.

Perform and get approval on finals tests
To ensure that the communication, signature certificates and system are installed correctly your company must perform necessary tests. You will perform final tests for the EDI messages you intend to use in production. Once the tests are approved you can send and receive messages in production, provided that all other conditions are fulfilled.
After approved tests activate subscription messages
If your company want to receive subscription messages in production you must inform us which information to activate. The application can be submitted when, or after, submitting final tests.
