Tollklareringen

Tollklareringen is a process in international trade where goods are cleared through customs without being physically inspected. This process is facilitated by a tollkode, a unique identifier assigned to the goods, which allows them to bypass the traditional customs inspection process. The tollkode is issued by the customs authority of the exporting country and is valid for a specific period, typically one year.

The tollklareringen process is designed to streamline the movement of goods across borders, reducing delays and costs associated with customs inspections. It is particularly beneficial for goods that are not subject to tariffs or other trade barriers, such as goods that are part of a free trade agreement.

The process involves several steps. First, the exporter obtains a tollkode from the customs authority of the exporting country. The goods are then shipped to the importing country, where they are presented to the customs authority for clearance. The customs authority checks the tollkode and, if valid, clears the goods without further inspection. The goods can then be released to the importer.

The tollklareringen process is subject to certain conditions and requirements, including the need for accurate and complete documentation, as well as compliance with the terms of the tollkode. Failure to meet these requirements can result in the goods being subject to traditional customs inspection and potential delays or penalties.

The tollklareringen process is widely used in international trade, particularly in the European Union, where it is a key component of the EU's customs union. It is also used in other regions and countries that have implemented similar systems to facilitate the movement of goods across borders.
