Export declaration
What is a export declaration?
An export declaration is a declaration that is submitted electronically or as a physical form to the Swedish Customs. There are at least 31 items that must be completed correctly when you submit your export declaration. These items must include the correct number of items, the correct commodity codes and who is the declarant/representative.
If you fill in any of these points incorrectly or fail to fill in information, the declaration will be rejected and you will have to redo the case, provided that Customs approves the change. In the worst case, it will take time and your goods will not be shipped on time as you wish.

Things to consider when you are going to carry out an export and need to fill out an export declaration
Before you export, it is important to find out if there are any regulations in the recipient country, i.e. the importing country, that you as an exporter must take into account. Either you spend hours familiarizing yourself with all the regulations, or you call us for help.
You do not need a general permit to start exporting, just an EORI number. However, certain goods, such as agricultural products, cultural objects and endangered animals and plants, may require one. Therefore, we always recommend that you contact us before you carry out your export and before you decide to voluntarily choose to fill out your declaration.
At Tullverket.se you can read up on what is expected of you if you choose to carry out an export on your own. However, keep in mind that the Swedish Customs will not carry out the matter for you and will not fill out your export declaration. The Customs will refer you to a customs agent to get help with your matter and to ensure that export declarations are filled out correctly. The Customs are neutral and will not recommend any customs agent. Check out our reviews on Google and you will see that we are the obvious choice.
Customs declaration export
Export is when you send goods to a country outside the EU. Most often connected to sales, but gifts and other shipments can also be considered exports. When you export a product, you must submit an export declaration to the Swedish Customs. You can do it yourself, but we recommend that you use a professional customs agent like Tullify. This will ensure that your case is handled quickly and all information submitted to the Swedish Customs is correct.
You can submit a customs declaration in several different ways:
- Using a paper form, which you send to the Swedish customs authority.
- By using TID yourself. (Swedish Customs' internet declaration)
- By using a customs system that is integrated with the Swedish Customs.
If you are going to submit multiple declarations, it may be more beneficial for you to use a modern customs system, as it saves time.
Commodity codes when exporting goods
A product code consists of eight to ten digits. If any digit is wrong, it can be both expensive and lengthy. So let's take care of that instead.
- HS code: the first four digits.
- HS subheading: the first six digits.
- Combined Nomenclature, CN code: eight-digit commodity codes.
Dear child has many names. And that also applies to commodity codes and their names. Commodity codes can also be called HS codes, Statistical numbers, Taric numbers or Tariff numbers.
The commodity code is used to calculate import and export duties. It is also used for statistical purposes. HS stands for Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and is a system used by most countries in the world for customs purposes and for international trade statistics. It is used in over 200 countries. The first four digits are the same in all countries that use HS. The first six digits are the same in all countries that are members of the World Customs Organization (WCO).
The CN is used to classify goods for customs purposes in the EU and for trade statistics. The first six digits are the same as in the HS. The eighth digit is used to subdivide goods in more detail.
Sending goods outside the EU
For Swedish companies, it can be a big challenge to successfully export goods and merchandise outside the EU. The rules differ depending on which country you are exporting to and the rules also differ depending on the type of goods or merchandise you are exporting.
No matter how big or small your business is, we at Tullify will help you ship goods outside the EU. No order is too big for us and we always make sure to complete the export within the time frame you desire. We guarantee that we are the fastest in the industry in handling export cases, without affecting the quality for our customers.
Keep in mind that countries like Norway and Switzerland are not part of the EU. Which means that you need an export declaration if you are going to send goods and merchandise to these two countries. Many companies in Sweden trade with Norway and therefore need help with the export being carried out correctly. By hiring us at Tullify, you will avoid hidden costs and various surcharges that may be added if you were to carry out an export to Norway or Switzerland in the wrong way. Right from the start, we set up the matter correctly and ensure that you get the best price on the market for carrying out an export.
