The requirements for the content on a Commercial Invoice
Published 16 november 2023
The customs authorities in the EU and the United Kingdom have already introduced stricter requirements for information on a commercial invoice. In preparation for the Norwegian customs authorities to implement this in 2025 and to meet all customs requirements and avoid unnecessary delays/extra work for all parties, we summarize below what is necessary for all invoices:
Invoices must contain the following information for import and export to/from Norway:
• Name, address, EORI number (for companies in the EU/UK), and VAT number (Value Added Tax registration number) for companies in Norway,
for both exporter and importer.
• Invoice number
• Weight, gross and net
• Number of packages (pallet, carton, IBC, or other packaging)
• Item description
• Item code on each line – HS code and country of origin.
• Item value
• Currency
• Incoterms with location specification
• Country of origin
• Declaration of origin if possible
• Declaration that iron/steel input factors do not originate in Russia, where relevant.
When exporting from Norway, we also request contact information for the recipient in the destination country so that our customs clearance agent can directly contact the recipient with questions regarding customs clearance, such as authorizations, etc.
If you have any questions about correctly filling out invoices for import/export, please feel free to contact one of our sales representatives for more information:
