Customs Clearance at Østby – Norway–Sweden Border

Østby (Rv 25) is a road border crossing between Norway and Sweden in the Trysil region.
The route connects Trysil and Innlandet with Sweden and is used by both local and international commercial transport.
If you are transporting commercial goods through Østby, the customs documentation and Digitoll information should be prepared before the vehicle reaches the border.
TollAgent AS provides remote customs clearance for shipments crossing the Norway–Sweden border at Østby.
Where is Østby Customs Office?
The Norwegian customs office is located at:
Østby Customs Office (Rv 25)
Østre Trysilvegen 1539
2423 Østby
Norway
Opening hours at Østby
Current opening hours are:
Monday–Friday: 08:00–21:00
Saturday: Closed
Sunday: 15:00–21:00
Different opening hours and closures may apply on public holidays.
Østby is therefore not a 24-hour customs crossing, and commercial transport should be planned according to the customs office opening hours.
Digitoll at Østby
Østby is equipped with a Digitoll tablet for arrival registration and routing signals.
Before reaching the border, the required transport and consignment information should already be submitted digitally.
At Østby, the driver can use the tablet to register arrival and receive a routing signal.
The result can be:
Green signal – the vehicle may continue without reporting to the customs counter.
Red signal – the driver must report to the customs service counter.
This procedure is different from Svinesund and Ørje, where ANPR cameras automatically register the vehicle and electronic signs display the routing signal.
Customs clearance before arriving at Østby
The customs procedure should be prepared before the truck reaches the Norway–Sweden border.

Import from Sweden to Norway through Østby
Goods entering Norway from Sweden through Østby require the appropriate Norwegian customs procedure.
Norway is part of the EEA but is not part of the EU Customs Union, so commercial goods crossing the border are subject to customs formalities.
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 in Norway.
Example: Sweden → Trysil
A Swedish company sells commercial goods to a customer in the Trysil region.
The truck travels:
Sweden → Østby → Trysil
Before the vehicle reaches the border, the invoice, packing list, CMR and vehicle information are sent to TollAgent AS.
We prepare the required Norwegian customs documentation and Digitoll information.
At Østby, the driver registers the vehicle’s arrival using the Digitoll tablet and receives a routing signal.
If the signal is green, the vehicle can continue.
If the signal is red, the driver must report to the customs service counter.
NCTS and T1 at Østby
Goods can also cross the border at Østby under an NCTS transit procedure.
For shipments travelling under T1 or another transit procedure, the relevant MRN must be referenced in Digitoll.
Depending on the customs procedure, the transit may be completed at the border or continue to an agreed customs destination in Norway.
