1. Files the TSD
The declarant files a TSD no later than at the time of arrival.
2. Receiving the temporary storage declaration
Swedish Customs receives the declaration and validates the content. The declaration is assigned an MRN.
3. Indicates presented goods
Swedish Customs notifies the holder of the authorisation of the goods that have been presented and that temporary storage has started.
The 90 day countdown begins.
4. Start of storage
The holder of the authorisation receives a message from Swedish Customs with information about what goods are presented.
5. Processes the TSD
Swedish customs processes the Temporary Storage Declaration (TSD) and carries out any necessary checks.
6. Informs that the declaration is approved
Swedish Customs informs the declarant and the holder of the authorisation that the declaration is approved. The declaration is assigned ‘Lodged – Approved’ status.
7a. Approval of Temporary Storage Declaration (Declarant)
The declarant is informed that the TSD is approved and that the declaration has been given the status ‘Lodged – Approved’.
7b. Approval of Temporary Storage Declaration (Holder of authorisation)
The holder of the authorisation is informed that the TSD is approved and that the declaration has been given the status ‘Lodged – Approved’. Only now can the goods be placed under other customs procedures to end temporary storage.
If discrepancies are detected, either when the goods are inventoried or during the actual storage, the authorisation holder must submit a discrepancy report to notify customs of the discrepancies. It is now possible to move goods using the same authorisation.
8. Files a declaration or discharge into a different procedure
A declaration or notification is made by a declarant to place goods under another stage of the customs procedure, such as customs procedures (import, customs warehouse, transit, etc.) or re-export.
9. Processes the declaration or presentation notification
Swedish Customs receives the declaration or notification and processes the transaction.
10. Sends an approval for removal
When the transaction has been processed, Swedish Customs will issue an approval for removal to the holder of the authorisation.
11. Receives a removal permission and may release the goods
The holder of authorisation receives an approval for removal and may release the goods. The temporary storage procedure ends.
