The AIM Customs Partner customs clearance process

HOW WE WORK

A clear process. Full support. Better control.

We support each stage of the customs process so your goods can move efficiently, in line with applicable requirements and without avoidable complications.

THE AIM PROCESS

Our six-step customs process

The process is clear and transparent. You should know what happens after you send us a case and how each step helps reduce the risk of corrections and delays later.

Initial assessment and case review

We review the goods, transport route and operational requirements. We assess the customs requirements and determine the appropriate course of action.

Stage 01 — initial assessment and case review

What we need from you

Basic information about the goods, route and planned date, together with the documents already available.

What AIM does

We review the operational context, identify missing information and establish the appropriate course of action.

Outcome

The case enters the appropriate process from the outset.

Trade with Norway is changing. Is your process ready?

Norwegian customs requirements and digital border controls increasingly depend on complete and consistent information being available before the goods reach the border. Companies that organise this information in advance are better prepared to avoid corrections, uncertainty and operational delay.

IMPACT ON THE PROCESS

Customs requirements are changing

The possibility of completing key customs information after crossing the border is being phased out.

For your business:

  • Required information must be prepared earlier in the shipment process.
  • Errors or missing data can interrupt the movement of the goods.
  • Important customs decisions must be made before departure, not at the border.

Businesses that organise documents, responsibilities and information flow in advance are better positioned to avoid corrections, delays and unnecessary downtime.

From operational uncertainty to a controlled process

A customs process often becomes difficult before the declaration is submitted. Missing documents, unclear responsibilities and late decisions create pressure during transport. AIM helps organise these points earlier, when corrections are still possible.

Select an area to see where operational uncertainty starts and what changes when the same work is managed as a process.

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

CHANGE IN THE PROCESS

Documents

BEFORE

Documents are collected under time pressure or only after the transport has already started.

HOW AIM ORGANISES THE PROCESS

We check the completeness and consistency of the required documents before the operation reaches a critical stage.

AFTER

The declaration is based on a reliable set of documents rather than an emergency collection of missing information.

Three ways AIM supports your process

Our work is operational, but it begins with understanding the context. The quality of a customs declaration depends on the information, responsibilities and decisions that come before it.

HOW IT WORKS IN PRACTICE

Context before procedure

We do not begin with the declaration alone. We first assess the movement of the goods, the responsibilities of the parties, the available documentation, the data required and the areas of operational risk.

The process is matched to the actual situation instead of being based on a generic template.

NEXT STEP

Let’s identify where AIM can strengthen your customs process.

If your business handles regular shipments to or from Norway, a short conversation can help clarify responsibilities, information flow and the need for operational support in Norway.

We will identify where the work can be simplified, operational risk reduced and control over the process improved.
