What are your responsibilities in Digitoll?
Your business’s responsibilities depend on its role in the movement of goods. If your business submits itself, it must be registered as a Digitoll operator.
Digitoll consists of two types of submissions:
- Declaration in TVINN
- Notification and disclosure messages
A business may be responsible for none, one, or both of the submissions. Your responsibilities depend on your role in the movement of goods.

Is your business required to register in Digitoll?
Yes – if you submit information to Norwegian Customs on behalf of clients.

- ensure that goods are declared and cleared through customs, if agreed
- ensure that information is submitted at the correct time in the movement of goods
- transport notification (MO-transport)
