Starting from March this year, there will be changes to the transport of Norway shipments that move via groupage terminal network. These changes are linked to new procedures in partner’s system and compliance with these new changes is mandatory for exporting shipments.
If the consignor (Estonian exporter) has registered a Norwegian company as buyer of the goods on the invoice, then customs clearance of imports takes place in Norway on the latter’s behalf. The Norwegian company has to comply with the CRA (Customs Representation Authorization) for import formalities, which is sent to the Norwegian company by Dachser before the goods are released. After receiving the signed CRA and checking the data by Dachser, we can ship the goods.
Before sending the goods to Norway, please send us the following documents:
- Invoice (Commercial invoice / proforma invoice)
- Packing list / delivery note
- Export documents (export declaration, if desired, made by ACE; certificate of origin, etc.)
- Other product-specific documents if possible and necessary
The documents must include the following information: VAT number of Norwegian company, consignee contact details, importer contact details (if different from consignee), invoice number, delivery terms, number and type of packages, exact description of goods, commodity code (HS / TARIC), value of the goods and gross / net weight. As for Incoterm, please use DAP (delivered at place), according to which the consignee is responsible for making the import declaration and paying VAT and customs duties in Norway.
Please be advised that the introduction of these new changes may lead to delays in lead times. One of the factors will be the consignee’s response rate in these mandatory procedures.
In case of additional questions, please contact your customer service representative or write to road@ace.ee.
Thank you for your understanding!
