Swedish customers and PostNord as "Tullombud"

This article was last updated 16-Oct-2026, it will be updated if the situation changes.

What changed on 1 July 2026

This article previously said that Swedish customers should not pay anything when PostNord asks them to accept it as “Tullombud”. That is no longer correct. Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges a 3 EUR Customs Duty on all imports, and Sweden has chosen to collect it on arrival rather than require the sender to pre-pay it.

What a Swedish customer pays today

  • 30 SEK — the EU Customs Duty (3 EUR)
  • 100 SEK — the fee for handling the collection

The VAT is still paid when you place your order with us, so no VAT will be charged on arrival. See Changes in EU customs rules from 1st July 2026 for the full picture.

Accepting PostNord as Tullombud

PostNord still needs you to accept it as your customs agent before the parcel is released. You will get a notification with a blue button — follow it, accept PostNord as your agent, and pay the amount shown. The parcel is normally released within a few hours during opening hours.

If you are asked to pay VAT

Then something has gone wrong, because the VAT is already paid. Contact us at post@amsleser.no before you pay, and we will help you sort out the problem.
