On 15 September 2026, Norway enters the next phase of the Digitoll implementation. From this date, the digital submission of transport and goods information to Norwegian Customs becomes mandatory.

For companies trading with Norway, the change increases the need for complete and accurate customs information earlier in the supply chain.

For businesses moving goods into Norway, transport and goods information must be available and submitted digitally before, or at the latest at, the border crossing. The change applies across road, sea, air and rail transport and places greater emphasis on accurate documentation, clear responsibilities and efficient information sharing between all parties involved in the transport chain.

March 2027 will bring further changes

The September implementation is only one step in Norway’s customs modernization program.

On 1 March 2027, the current goods registration arrangement, formally known as Direktekjøringsordningen, will be discontinued as part of the Digitoll rollout. Companies that currently rely on these procedures should already be assessing how the changes will affect their customs and logistics processes.

Preparing early gives organizations time to review workflows, identify potential gaps and ensure that the necessary information is available when required.

What should companies do now?

Businesses involved in trade with Norway should use the transition period to evaluate whether their current customs and transport processes support the new requirements.

Key areas to review include:

• Customs and transport processes
• Availability of commercial documentation earlier in the transport chain
• Responsibilities between importer, exporter, carrier and customs representative
• Systems and information flows supporting Digitoll requirements

The transition places greater emphasis on preparation, coordination and the timely exchange of information throughout the supply chain.

How Logent supports customers

Logent Customs is already assisting customers with Digitoll preparations through customs advisory services, process reviews and operational support.

With dedicated customs teams and border offices at Svinesund and Örje, Logent supports customers before, during and after the transition. By reviewing existing processes, clarifying responsibilities and strengthening information flows, we help customers prepare for new requirements and maintain efficient cross-border operations.

“Our advice is simple: use the transition period to prepare now rather than waiting for the March 2027 deadline. The earlier companies review their processes, responsibilities and information flows, the smoother the transition is likely to be,” says Henrik Hansson, Business Area President/Logent Customs.

Companies trading with Norway should use the coming months to review their customs processes, documentation and information flows. Early preparation can help minimize disruption and support a smoother transition to the next phase of Digitoll.
