Customs documents

This reference describes the customs documents used across nShift Delivery and when each one applies.

Commercial invoice

Used when you charge for the goods you're shipping. Provided in at least three copies, written in English, and usually signed by hand.

Proforma invoice

Used when you don't charge for the goods you're shipping, for example gifts, samples, advertising material, or returned goods. Commercial invoice and Proforma invoice share the same printset value on the shipment — Type of import/export on the customs declaration indicates which applies.

Paperless trade

Sends customs documents electronically instead of printing and physically attaching them to the shipment. Some carriers require Paperless trade instead of physical documents.

CN22

A simplified customs declaration for letter items with a value up to SEK 2,000, including a security declaration. A security declaration is required for goods sent within the EU, to confirm the parcel doesn't contain anything dangerous or prohibited, and is attached to the outside of the package.

CN23

A customs declaration for all postal parcels and for letter items over SEK 2,000, including a security declaration. It also applies to postal parcels and letter items under SEK 2,000 sent for a commercial purpose.

Note
