Road freight between Lithuania and Norway
RNJ Transport moves loads between Lithuania and Norway with checked partner carriers, in both directions. Norway is in the European Economic Area, but not in the EU customs union.

- From 1 March 2027, the Norwegian customs declaration is also due by the border crossing.

Norway with checked partner carriers
RNJ Transport moves loads to and from Norway with checked partner carriers. We check the carrier before we book the truck. We plan the route, the documents and the timing with you, and we stay your one contact until delivery. You get one invoice from RNJ Transport.
A truck to Norway often drives through Sweden. It must then meet the rules of both countries. Tell us the full route when you book.
Export and import declarations for Norway
Norway is in the European Economic Area (EEA), but it is not in the EU customs union. Goods that cross the Norwegian border need an export declaration on one side and an import declaration on the other.
We arrange these declarations through our partner customs broker. Send the invoice and the commodity codes early, so the truck does not wait at the border.
| Document | Lithuania to Norway | Norway to Lithuania |
|---|---|---|
| CMR consignment note | Yes | Yes |
| Invoice | Yes | Yes |
| Packing list | Recommended | Recommended |
| Export declaration | EU export declaration | Norwegian export declaration |
| Import declaration | Norwegian import declaration | EU import declaration |
| Digitoll messages | Yes, by the border crossing | No |
Digitoll: data before the border
Since 15 September 2026, every truck with goods for Norway must send transport and goods data to Norwegian Customs digitally, at the latest at the border crossing. The driver is responsible by law, but a customs representative can send the messages.
From 1 March 2027, the Norwegian customs declaration is also due by the crossing. The exporter, the Norwegian buyer and the carrier agree early who sends each message. If you have no customs broker, our partner broker can make the declarations. The earlier the data arrives, the more likely the truck can cross without a stop.
Winter rules for trucks in Norway
From 1 November to the first Sunday after Easter Monday, trucks over 3.5 tonnes in most of Norway need at least 5 mm of tread and snow chains on board. In Nordland, Troms and Finnmark, the period runs from 16 October to 30 April.
In winter, a truck in Norway may wait for a convoy or for a mountain pass to open. Agree a delivery window with the receiver, and book early.

Frequently asked questions
-
Do I need customs documents for goods to Norway?
Yes. Norway is not in the EU customs union, so goods need an export declaration when they leave the EU and an import declaration in Norway. We arrange the declarations through our partner customs broker. The truck also carries a CMR consignment note and the invoice.
-
What is Digitoll?
Digitoll is the Norwegian Customs system for goods that arrive by road. Since 15 September 2026, transport and goods data must reach Norwegian Customs digitally, at the latest at the border crossing. The driver is responsible, and a customs representative can send the data for the driver.
-
Can you carry goods from Norway to Lithuania?
Yes. We move loads in both directions with checked partner carriers. A load from Norway needs a Norwegian export declaration first. The goods then enter the EU on the way to Lithuania and need an EU import declaration.
-
Do your own trucks go to Norway?
No. Our own trucks mostly run between Lithuania and Sweden. Loads to and from Norway go with checked partner carriers. You keep the same contact person at RNJ Transport and get one invoice from us.
