Direct customs clearance to be discontinued on 15 September 2026

The direct customs clearance scheme will be discontinued at 00:00 on 15 September 2026, and the customs processing units currently used for these declarations will be closed to submissions from businesses.

These changes are being implemented as part of the introduction of Digitoll.

What must your business do when direct customs clearance is discontinued?

Businesses that currently use direct customs clearance must, from 15 september 2026, use alternative procedures to declare these goods to customs.

As a general rule, declarations that currently submitted to customs processing units for direct customs clearance will be submitted to processing unit 441002 (the Digitoll processing unit) after 15 September.

The declaration reference (Declaration ID) must be linked to the submitted notification and disclosure message, and the goods will be fully customs cleared when crossing the border.

Alternatively, the goods may be placed into a customs warehouse, either by means of registration with the warehouse, or by registration together with a entry declaration submitted to processing unit 441002. From 1 March 2027, a warehouse entry declaration will become mandatory for warehousing goods.

Digital notification and disclosure message must be submitted for goods registered with customs warehouses.

If you are action as a customs representative and require access to processing unit 441002, you may submit a request to post@toll.no. Please provide your organization number and NODI number.
