Digitoll - House Consignment

A House Consignment contains information about an individual consignment of goods and links the consignment and its customs declaration to the relevant Master Consignment or Transport.

A House Consignment can be linked in two ways:

Via a Master Consignment:
Transport → Master Consignment → House Consignment → Customs Declaration

Direct House:
Transport → House Consignment → Customs Declaration

A Direct House is used when the House Consignment is linked directly to the Transport without a Master Consignment.

House Consignments can be linked using waybill references or MRN relations.

Method 1 – Fetch customs declarations from the Master Consignment

 

This is the recommended and most efficient method when several House Consignments belong to the same Master Consignment.

Open the Master Consignment and select the Consignments tab.

Click Fetch customs declarations.

You can search for and select as many customs declarations as required. Once the relevant declarations have been selected, click Import.

Emma will ask whether you want to submit the House Consignments immediately. Select Yes to create and submit them automatically.

Emma will then automatically:

• Create a House Consignment for each selected customs declaration
• Populate the House Consignment with information from the customs declaration
• Add the relevant references from the Master Consignment
• Link the House Consignment to the Master Consignment
• Submit the House Consignment to Norwegian Customs

House Consignments generated automatically by EmmaSped are shown with the signature #ES# in the MO Overview.

Once the House Consignments have been created, the Master Consignment can also be submitted by clicking INS.

Method 2 – Generate a House Consignment from a customs declaration

Open the relevant customs declaration in Emma and select, from dropdown menu either Generate House or direct Consignment.

Emma uses the information already available in the customs declaration to create the House Consignment.

 

The house consignment will be visible in the MO overview

The House Consignment can then be linked to:

• Your own Master Consignment
• An external Master Consignment
• A Transport directly (Direct House)

This method is particularly useful when another party is responsible for submitting the Master Consignment or Transport.

Once the House Consignment has been generated, check the information and add the required waybill references or MRN relation before submitting it to Norwegian Customs.

 

---

Method 3 – Generate a House Consignment from a TVINN receipt

Recommended when the customs declaration was submitted externally and is therefore not available electronically in Emma.

This is useful when you are responsible for submitting the House Consignment on behalf of another declarant.

See guide: Digitoll - Create a House Consignment from an external TVINN Declaration

Create a House Consignment manually

If neither the customs declaration nor a TVINN receipt is available in Emma, you can create the House Consignment manually.

When creating a House Consignment manually, all required information must be entered before it can be submitted to Norwegian Customs.

Select the correct mode

First, select the correct Mode based on how the goods are being transported:

• Road
• Sea
• Air
• Rail

Make sure the correct mode is selected before entering the remaining information.

Waybill:

Select the appropriate waybill type and enter the House waybill number.

If the House Consignment belongs to a Master Consignment, also enter the relevant Master waybill reference.

The references are used to link the House Consignment to the correct Master Consignment.

If the House Consignment is a Direct House, it is linked directly to the Transport instead.

Alternatively to master waybill reference, the messages can be linked using an MRN relation.

Gross mass/ Collie:

Enter the total gross mass and collies of the House Consignment.

Consignor:

Enter the details of the Consignor.

The Consignor will normally be the exporter/sender of the goods.

Consignee:

Enter the details of the Consignee.

The Consignee will normally be the importer/recipient of the goods.

Enter the required identification and address information.

Customs procedure and declaration reference:

Enter the appropriate customs procedure and reference to the customs declaration.

The information required depends on the procedure used for the goods.

For an import declaration, enter the relevant declaration reference in the appropriate procedure field.

Where applicable, previous documents or export references must be entered under Previous documents.

Make sure the procedure and declaration references correspond to how the goods are being imported or exported.

Container / transport equipment:

Specify whether a container or relevant transport equipment is used.

If applicable, enter the required container or transport equipment information.

The selected messages are set to Queued.

This function can be used when the status is:

• Blank
• Reopened

Only messages from the table currently in focus are submitted.

Send linked:

This function queues the selected manifest in the upper table together with the linked manifests displayed in the tables below.

If information needs to be changed after the House Consignment has been submitted, select Korriger.

Make the required changes and submit the House Consignment again.

If the House Consignment is linked using waybill references, make sure that any changes to these references still correspond with the relevant Master Consignment or Transport.

Which method should I use?

For most users, the following workflow is recommended:

Creating several Houses for your own Master?
→ Use Method 1 – Fetch customs declarations from the Master

Customs declaration already exists in Emma, but the Master or Transport will be handled separately?
→ Use Method 2 – Generate House from a customs declaration

Another declarant created the customs declaration and you only have the TVINN receipt?
→ Use Method 3 – Generate House from a TVINN receipt

No electronic declaration data or TVINN receipt available?
→ Create the House Consignment manually

Whenever possible, we recommend generating the House Consignment from existing data rather than entering all information manually. This reduces manual input and the risk of incorrect references.
