Import from Finland to Norway

Goods transported from Finland into Norway leave the EU customs territory and enter Norway.

Norway is part of the EEA but is not part of the EU Customs Union, so customs formalities are still required.

Depending on the shipment, the procedure may involve:

Import declaration + Digitoll

or

NCTS transit + Digitoll

if the goods continue under customs supervision to another destination.

Example: Finland → Alta

A Finnish company sends commercial goods to a customer in Alta.

The truck travels:

Finland → Kivilompolo → Kautokeino → Alta

Before the vehicle reaches Kivilompolo, the invoice, packing list, CMR and vehicle information are sent to TollAgent AS.

We prepare the required Norwegian customs documentation and Digitoll information.

At Kivilompolo, the driver reports to the customs service counter and follows the instructions from customs.

NCTS and T1 at Kivilompolo

Goods can also enter Norway through Kivilompolo under an NCTS transit procedure.

For goods travelling under T1 or another transit procedure, the relevant MRN must be included in the Digitoll information.
