If the result differs from the information in the Temporary Storage Declaration (TSD), or the notification of which goods have been declared, the authorisation holder should submit a discrepancy report to Swedish Customs. A discrepancy report should also be submitted for any other type of discrepancies that arise during storage.

Swedish Customs receives and assesses the discrepancy report. The holder of the authorisation will be notified when the matter is closed.
