Guide for remarks on unloading (IE044) during transit

Here you will find a guide to be used when submitting unloading results to Swedish Customs with message IE044.

The unloading remarks (IE044) must be submitted no later than the third day after you have received unloading authorisation (IE043). In the unloading results, you must indicate whether there are any discrepancies, i.e. whether there is anything in the transit that does not correspond to the goods you have unloaded.
