Regarding the obligation of NCTS/TIR as from 2009-01-01
It is now mandatory for the TIR-holder or his agent to submit the TIR-carnet data electronically for all TIR-movements within the community. To be able to submit an electronic declaration in NCTS you need to be authorized by the Swedish Customs. To achieve such authorization, your company has to be registered in Sweden. If your company is not registered in Sweden, you will have to contact a Swedish representative or freight forwarder and ask them to register your NCTS/TIR declaration.
