Before you begin tests

The technical information for the company’s EDI communication is defined in the decision in a so called technical appendix. You are also allocated a LRN series (also called tull-id series) which is used to generate a unique reference number for declarations both in the test and production environments.

You will also receive two separate documents called “Confirmation of registration for EDI-communication with Swedish Customs” which includes security passwords. These are sent by post. One letter is addressed to the decision holder (contact person for EDI issues). The other is sent to your stated communication party. In order to set up communication with Swedish Customs these passwords must be installed the company's customs system.

Your appointed contact person for signature certificates should ensure that the necessary signature certificates are installed in your EDI system. The certificate needs to be renewed at a regular basis otherwise you risk disrupting your transaction flow both for test and production.

During the test process

In the Swedish Customs company test environment you can test all the EDI messages that Swedish Customs provides. Some messages require additional test data to be registered before tests can proceed.

Once the passwords and signature certificates are installed you may begin to test. Contact the EDI Test team when all relevant final tests have been performed with the expected result. When contacting EDI Test always refer to the reference number (EDI-xx) that is stated in your decision.

Approved tests and start sending messages in the production environment

When your final tests are approved you receive a Decision on approved tests. An approved test means that Swedish Customs has approved that the final test for the current message was correct at the time of the test.

After approved tests Swedish Customs you can send and receive messages in the production environment. Some messages require additional authorisations and/or registrations.

For subscription messages (CWPR, CWRA, IFFP, TSGP, TSPR) to be activated in production you need to separately apply for registration of supplementary data. If these messages will be handled by a third party you must provide a power of attorney.
