leveringsaktes

Leveringsaktes is a document used in Nordic commercial practice to record the delivery of goods under a contract of sale or similar agreement. It serves as evidence that the seller has fulfilled its delivery obligation and may indicate when risk and, in some cases, ownership passes to the buyer.

A leveringsakt typically includes the names and addresses of the parties, contract or order numbers, a description of the goods (type, quantity, unit, item numbers), delivery date and location, packaging details, method of transport, any inspections or acceptance notes, and signatures of the seller and buyer or their representatives.

The document may also specify conditions such as dispatch terms, quality or conformity of goods, deviations from the contract, and references to relevant warranty or acceptance processes. In practice, leveringsaktes are used alongside invoices and purchase orders and may be required for customs, accounting, tax, or insurance purposes. They help allocate risk: often risk transfers from seller to buyer upon delivery, though the exact moment is determined by applicable sale terms (for example Incoterms or contract provisions).

Variants and terminology: in Norwegian and Swedish practice the term leveringsakt/leveransakt may be used with similar meaning; the precise legal status and formal requirements vary by jurisdiction. In some contexts the leveringsakt is a procedural record rather than a legally binding contract document, but it remains an important evidence piece of performance under the agreement.
