The solution for notification and disclosure includes an API for submitting arrival notifications for transport

Background:

Companies with a transport permit for unattended road border crossings needs a way to send an arrival notification when crossing into Norway at crossings where Norwegian Customs is not present. Norwegian Customs has published an API to support this, however, the use of this API is not limited to road transport with transport permits. It is designed so it can be used for all modes of transport. Still, it must not be used without specific authorization from Norwegian Customs (Transport authorization for unmanned border crossings – business - Norwegian Customs).

Arrival API:

Arrival messages follow a standard pattern:

• Create (POST) – The business creates an arrival message and receives a request-id
• Retrieve response (GET) – The business retrieves the validation status of the arrival message using the request-id

The arrival notification must include the MRN of the transport in question, as well as the time and customs office of arrival. See the API documentation.

Use case example:

• The driver or the driver's representative submits an arrival notification for the transport when the transport crosses the border.
• If the message returns a status = success, the driver/representative should retrieve the entry status for the transport. The endpoint entry/status/{mrn} can be used for this. See the API documentation.
  • If the transport receives valid entry = true, the goods have been assigned to the selected procedure and may be unloaded upon arrival.
  • If the transport receives valid entry = false, Norwegian Customs must be contacted before unloading the goods.
