NUF number on shipments to Norway

Shipmondo now has a field for the NUF number on the importer, so you can enter your Norwegian NUF number on shipments to Norway. The number is sent to the carrier on the customs documents and also appears on the proforma invoice.

The NUF number is relevant when the line items exceed NOK 3,000, and the VOEC scheme therefore can’t be used. In that case, the customer can choose to have duties and VAT collected through the company’s NUF number. It requires neither a minimum volume nor a bulk waybill agreement.

How to enter the NUF number

The field requires no activation and is available on all shipments to Norway. The number must be written as exactly 9 digits followed by the letters MVA, with no spaces, for example 123456789MVA. If it’s written any other way, the shipment can’t be created.

Supported carriers

The NUF number is supported on DHL Express, FedEx, PostNord Denmark, PostNord Sweden, PostNord Norway and PostNord Finland.

The feature requires your own shipping agreement with the carrier. Haven’t set up your agreement in Shipmondo yet? See how to request it in the guide to activating your own shipping agreements.

With PostNord, the NUF number is used instead of the importer’s VAT number in the customs declaration. If both are filled in, you get an error and need to remove one of them.

Available in the API

Set the attribute nuf on the importer party, that is, the party with type set to importer in parties, when you create a shipment. See Create shipment. See the technical details in the changelog on Shipmondo.dev.
