Icelandic customs authorities are implementing a new requirement that the submission of cargo manifests (import and export shipments) must now include:
• The first six digits of the HS code (Harmonized System) in the product's tariff number
• The name and address of the recipient and sender of the goods
From 1st December 2025, booked shipments must include the above information, and it is important that customers familiarize themselves with and obtain the necessary information from their business partners. If this information is not provided, customs authorities are permitted to reject the cargo manifest.
Customers can contact their Eimskip representative for further information and assistance.
