Single victualling authorisation
An authorisation is required to provision using non-Union goods and untaxed union goods.
Victualling refers to when goods are loaded onto vessels or aircraft to be consumed by the crew or passengers. Victualling authorisations should be granted to the actor responsible for the operations of the vessel or aircraft, if the actor fulfils the economic criteria, and any other applicable criteria.

Limitations
The authorisation may only be granted to the following:
- Aircraft with a maximum take-off mass exceeding 5,700kg and destined to deliver or collect passengers or cargo in a foreign airport;
- Vessels used by a commercial operator (not fishing vessels) of more than 75 gross tonnage which are destined to deliver or collect passengers or cargo in a foreign port, or intended for cruise operations in more distant waters;
- State vessels and state aircraft.
In specific circumstances, Swedish Customs may grant dispensation from the take-off weigth and tonnage requirements respectively.
In order to be granted a single victualling authorisation, the vessel must have a foreign destination and information about provisions already on board must have been submitted to Swedish Customs.
How to apply
Swedish Customs will not approve applications for victualling authorisation prior to the arrival of the vessel. It is important to state the number of days until the next time of victualling in Sweden.
