EDI – Test Environment and final tests

Swedish Customs offers a test environment in which holders of registration for communication via EDI (TVEDI) can carry out own tests and final tests. Within the TVEDI framework, you can test, all day round with no limitation on time, all message types that Swedish Customs offers.

In order to get approval for tests and to be able to send and receive electronic documents in the production environment to Swedish Customs your company must perform a number of necessary final tests. The number of final tests to be carried out depends on what the system is intended for. When final tests have been completed with the expected results, your test coordinator communicates this to the EDI test function. Send an email stating

the corporate identification number
name of final test
Tull-id number (LRN)
which system is used.

The final tests may not be more than a month old, and you must have received approved reply messages to all your test transaction. When contacting the EDI test function, always state the test case number (EDI-XX) which you received with information about the company’s registration.

Important when using the test environment:

Always use the test indicator (1) for the message to be submitted to the test environment instead of the production environment.
Do not send big files, batches or make volume tests in the test environment.
The technical specifications always apply in case of any discrepancies in the test examples.
After the test are completed it is important that the test indicator is removed in order to send in production.

Swedish Customs may publish new final tests and, if needed, change current final tests.
