Procedure for transit declarations – Normal procedure

The declarant draws a transit declaration and lodges it digitally to Swedish Customs.

A declarant may also engage an agent, who will handle their communications with Swedish Customs. The agent acts on behalf of the declarant.

Swedish Customs receives the transit declaration and verifies that the information is correctly entered.

• In the event of errors, the customs declaration will be stopped. A message will be sent to inform the declarant that the transit declaration cannot be processed.
  
• If the information is correct, a message will be sent to the information provider to inform the declarant that the transit declaration has been received.
  

In the next step, the system verifies the information.

• If there are any errors in this information, a message will be sent to inform the declarant of the identified errors. The declarant will be given an opportunity to amend the errors and re-submit the transit declaration.

If the information is correct, a message will be sent to the information provider to inform the declarant that the transit declaration has been received.

The declarant receives the message, adds the LRN to the vehicle declaration and requests to start the transit procedure at the declared customs office of departure.

A customs officer approves the case and an MRN is sent to the declarant.

The declarant receives the MRN.

The declaration will be risk assessed. If the level of risk is deemed to be high, a message informing the declarant that an inspection will be conducted will be sent. The customs officer is authorised to determine if an inspection is warranted and issue an inspection notification.

The declarant receives the message.

If an inspection is not conducted, any outstanding debt will be deducted from the declared guarantee.

The customs officer sets a time frame for the consignment and a message of release for transit is sent. The transport starts.

The declarant receives the release notification.
