Entry in the declarant's records (EIDR for export)

Entry in the declarant's records means that a company is authorised to file customs declaration information in its records. The customs declaration is deemed to have been approved at the time information is entered in the records.

EIDR for export – work in progress

Entry in the declarant's records was introduced on 26 February 2026, with a transition period that runs until 31 March 2026.

The information in these records must correspond with the requirements for a simplified declaration, which is a greater level of detail than previously. There will also be a requirement to notify Swedish Customs whenever an entry is made in the declarant's records.

Entries in the declarant's records have limits, as they practically can only be used for exports to Norway. Before the goods may be loaded, details equivalent to at least a simplified export declaration must be entered in the declarant's records. A notification (previously the ALE message) will be required for exports to Norway.

Transition period

A transition period will apply until 31 March 2026.

This means the following:

  • You will be able to submit supplementary UFF declarations vis the old systme until 10 April 2026.
  • No new cases may be recorded in the accounts under the old system after 31 March 2026; instead, they must be recorded in the accounts under the new system.
  • All new exports must be handled in accordance with the new process from 1 April.

EIDR – Only for direct export

This type of declaration may only be used in cases of direct exportation, that is, when the goods leave the EU directly from a Swedish customs office of exit. There should also be no requirement to provide security and safety information in the declaration. In practice, the declaration can therefore only be used for exports or re-exports to Norway and, in certain special cases, to other countries within the security and safety zone.

Direct och indirect export

Entry in records

The entry in the records must at least be equivalent to a simplified declaration, which means that the commodity code, net mass and packages must be included. If you are going to merge goods items (aggregation), you must do is already done when you make the entry in the records.

The information in the declaration must be available to Swedish Customs in the declarant's digital system at the time when the customs declaration is submitted in the form of an entry in the declarant's records. Upon request, the entry in the records must be able to be presented in summary form and sent to Swedish Customs.

Reporting to Swedish Customs

When declaring goods by entering them in your records, you must present the goods for release to Swedish Customs. Among other things, the notification must contain a description of the goods and the procedure.

A notification must be made for each entry in the records. Each entry must be followed by a notification that should be registered immediately after the registration. This means that a notification only may refer back to one entry.

Removal of the goods

Prior to removal, the goods should be presented for removal at the Swedish exit customs office from which the goods are leaving the customs area of the EU.

A presentation notification at customs office of exit and notifications of the export of goods are made at the customs office and can be submitted digitally to Norwegian Customs via Digitoll or by presenting the MRN number via a scannable barcode. The digital submission of data included in the standard workflow is not possible with EIDR.

EIDR for export, followed by transit

Where a declaration to EIDR is followed by a transit procedure, the export is handled via the transit procedure.

In the supplementary declaration, a reference to the MRN for the transit procedure must be provided in data element 12 01 000 000 – Previous document, using the applicable code N820, N821 or N822 at consignment level. For further information on the codes, see the declaration guides.

In the transit procedure, a reference to the EIDR MRN must be provided in data element 12 03 000 000 – Supporting documents, using code NZZZ at house consignment level. Each MRN reference may be declared once per house consignment.

Export followed by transit

Supplementary declaration

After the goods have been released, you must submit a supplementary declaration to Swedish Customs within the time limit specified in the authorisation (EIR).

The supplementary declaration must supplement the information already entered in the entry in the records. The information must therefore be consistent between the two stages.

The supplementary declaration can be general or recapitulative:

  • A general declaration means that a registration is followed by a supplementary declaration, wich you must submit no later than 10 working days after release.
  • When using a recapitulative declaration, all entries in the declarant’s records during a day or calender month should be accompanied by a supplementary declaration comprising all consignments.
    • You must submit a daily supplementary declaration no later than 10 working days after release.
    • If, instead, you submit a monthly supplementary declaration, you must submit it no later than 10 working days after the end of the calander month.
