Digitoll at Bjørnfjell

Bjørnfjell supports Digitoll arrival registration and routing using a tablet.

When the required Digitoll information has been submitted before arrival, the driver can use the tablet at the customs office to register the vehicle.

The driver enters the vehicle registration number and receives a routing signal.

Green – the vehicle can continue according to the instructions.

Red – the driver must report to Norwegian Customs.

Unlike Svinesund and Ørje, Bjørnfjell does not use the same automatic ANPR border-crossing process. The tablet is used for arrival registration and routing.

Depending on the shipment, this may involve:

If a transit procedure is connected with the shipment, the transit MRN must be correctly referenced in Digitoll.

The route is:

Kiruna → Riksgränsen → Bjørnfjell → Narvik

Before the truck reaches Norway, the invoice, transport documents and vehicle information are sent to TollAgent AS.

We prepare the required Norwegian customs documentation and Digitoll information.

At Bjørnfjell, the driver can register the vehicle using the Digitoll tablet and receive the appropriate routing signal.

This allows the customs process to be prepared before arrival rather than starting only when the truck reaches the border.
