Customs Clearance at Svinesund – Norway–Sweden Border

Svinesund (E6) is one of the most important road border crossings between Norway and Sweden and a major route for commercial transport entering and leaving Norway.

If your truck is travelling through Svinesund, the customs documentation should be prepared before the vehicle reaches the border.

TollAgent AS provides remote customs clearance for shipments crossing the Norway–Sweden border at Svinesund.

Where is the Svinesund border crossing?

Svinesund is located on the E6 between Oslo and Gothenburg, making it a natural route for goods transported between Norway and Sweden, Denmark and continental Europe.

The Norwegian customs office is located at:

Svinesund Customs Office (E6)
Sponvikaveien 7
1794 Sponvika
Norway

The border crossing is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for cross-border road traffic.

Services that are not directly related to border crossing are generally available during ordinary office hours.

Digitoll at Svinesund

Svinesund is one of the Norwegian border crossings equipped for the new Digitoll process.

Arrival registration and routing are supported by:

ANPR cameras,
electronic message signs,
and digital customs information submitted before arrival.

The vehicle registration number is used to connect the arriving vehicle with the information submitted to Norwegian Customs.

The driver then receives a routing signal indicating how to proceed.

Digitoll does not mean that every vehicle can automatically continue without stopping. Norwegian Customs may still direct a shipment for further processing or control.

Customs clearance before arriving at Svinesund

For commercial shipments, customs documentation should be prepared before the truck reaches the border.

TollAgent AS can handle:

Norwegian import declarations,
export declarations,
Digitoll,
NCTS procedures,
T1 and T2 transit,
commodity code verification,
and customs documentation.

Because customs declarations and transport information are handled electronically, our customs service can be provided 100% remotely.

You do not need a TollAgent representative physically present at Svinesund.

What documents do we need?

For standard commercial customs clearance, send us:

commercial invoice,
packing list,
CMR or other transport document,
description of the goods,
quantity and weight,
commodity codes if available,
country of origin,
importer and exporter details,
and vehicle registration number.

Additional documents may be required for food, alcohol, animals, plants, chemicals or other regulated goods.

Import to Norway through Svinesund

If goods are entering Norway through Svinesund, the Norwegian import procedure should be prepared before arrival.

Depending on the shipment, this may include:

Import declaration + Digitoll

NCTS transit + Digitoll

if the goods are travelling under a transit procedure.

The correct setup depends on where the goods originate, their customs status and where the customs procedure will be completed.

Export from Norway through Svinesund

Svinesund is also an important route for exports leaving Norway by road.

An export declaration should normally be prepared before the goods leave Norway.

For goods exported directly from Norway by road through Svinesund, Norwegian Customs currently instructs drivers to declare the goods in the red zone on the Swedish side at Klareringsexpedition Svinesund.

If the goods continue under transit, an NCTS/T1 or other appropriate customs procedure may also be required.

Example: Poland → Norway through Svinesund

A truck transports construction materials from Poland to a Norwegian company near Oslo.

The route is:

Poland → Germany → Denmark → Sweden → Svinesund → Oslo

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

We prepare the required Norwegian customs documentation and Digitoll information.

The driver then approaches Svinesund with the customs process already prepared instead of starting the documentation only after arriving at the border.

This significantly reduces the risk of delays caused by missing customs information.
