1. Digital notification and disclosure of information from February 1st 2026
The initial stage consists of the mandatory duty of the transport sector to fulfill notification and disclosure of information obligations digitally (MO). Digital Notification and Disclosure of Information will provide Norwegian Customs with documentation of what goods are entering the country, which types of transport, and information about where and when. System support for digital Notification and Disclosure of Information is already in place, ready to use for all types of transport.
2. Declaration before border crossing and removal of the Direct transport rule September 1st 2026
The current arrangement, where goods can be transported directly to the consignee of the goods and declared within 10 days, will be removed 01.09.2026. Declaration and digital notification and disclosure of information before or upon arrival to the Norwegian customs territory will then be mandatory.

Consultations
Over time, the Norwegian Customs Authority has engaged in dialogue with many of the affected stakeholders in the business community. It has been important for us to understand how the transition to digital information submission before or at the border crossing affects business logistics, systems, and interactions with customs. Through consultations 1, 2, and 3, we have received numerous inputs from stakeholders impacted by the ongoing changes. The Norwegian Customs Authority is now working on consultation 4.
