AES - Final Rules

On December 14th, the transition period for AES ends.

This means that several important changes will take effect. From this date, companies must fully follow the new AES procedures, as the previous systems and temporary exceptions will no longer be accepted.

We encourage you to review Tullverket’s official guidance, where the final rules and requirements for AES are clearly described:

Tullverket:

Step 1 – Standard customs declaration

Step 2 – Arrival at exit

Step 3 – Exit notification

After 15th of December TP can not be used anymore.
