Rail transport
To clear goods arriving by rail you will be required to either pre-lodge a customs declaration or file a transit declaration.
There are two possible ways to declare goods arriving by rail:
- Pre-lodged customs declaration
- Transit declaration
Pre-lodged customs declaration
In order to pre-lodge a customs declaration in rail transport, there shall be no need to store the goods in a temporary storage facility or an alternative approved location.
Four border crossings serve as designated locations where goods transported by rail may arrive. These designated locations are published on Swedish Customs’ website.

Transit declaration
The transit procedure must be used for rail transports that begin, and are intended to be discharged, in Norway, without requiring any customs procedures in Sweden. The transit procedure is also required when goods will be stored at a temporary storage facility or an alternative approved location.
