Customs credit and opportunities for you as an importer to obtain simplifications.An importer can apply to the Swedish Customs Service for credit. As an importer you can also apply for a permit to enjoy simplified Customs procedures. The Customs tariff and commodity classification.All kinds of goods can be classified and be given a ten digit commodity code, according to the Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System, which is the basis of the European Union Customs tariff. This code is the key to which duty rate shall be applied, as well as indicating whether an import license or permit is required for a commodity or not. For this reason it is important that you know and use the correct commodity code for the goods you plan to import.

You can read more about commodity classification in the menu to the right. The Customs tariff is available for you on our web site. There you can look up commodity codes and duty rates.

In the Customs tariff you can see exactly what your particular commodities will cost to import. More information about how to calculate Customs duty and V.A.T. you can find under the heading Value for Customs purposes in the menu to the right.
