Starting from March this year, changes will be implemented in the transport of shipments to Norway that move via the groupage terminal network. These changes are related to new procedures in partner systems, and compliance with them is mandatory for export shipments.
If the consignor (Latvian exporter) has listed a Norwegian company as the buyer of the goods on the invoice, customs clearance in Norway will be carried out on behalf of the buyer. The Norwegian company must complete the CRA (Customs Representation Authorization) for import formalities, which Dachser sends to the Norwegian company before the goods are cleared. Once the signed CRA is received and the data is verified by Dachser, the goods can be shipped.
Before shipping goods to Norway, please provide the following documents:
- Invoice (commercial invoice / proforma invoice)
- Packing list / delivery note
- Export documents (export declaration, if required, prepared by ACE; certificate of origin, etc.)
- Other product-specific documents, if applicable and necessary
The documents must include the following information:
- Norwegian company’s VAT number
- Consignee’s contact details
- Importer’s contact details (if different from the consignee)
- Invoice number
- Delivery terms
- Number and type of packages
- Exact description of goods
- Commodity code (HS / TARIC)
- Value of goods and gross/net weight
For Incoterms, please use DAP (Delivered at Place), which means that the consignee is responsible for completing the import declaration and paying VAT and customs duties in Norway.
Please note that the implementation of these new changes may cause delays in lead times. One key factor affecting this process will be the consignee’s response time in completing the mandatory procedures.
For any additional questions, please contact your customer service representative or email sales@ace.lv.
Thank you for your understanding!
