NVIT — Norwegian Goods in Transit¶
Overview¶
NVIT (Norske Varer I Transitt — Norwegian Goods in Transit) is a Norwegian customs requirement. It applies to goods that originate in Norway and pass in transit through Norway. The Cargonizer Connector collects and submits NVIT data automatically. Staff do not need to compile customs transit declarations manually.
Who Needs NVIT?¶
NVIT declarations are required when: - Goods of Norwegian origin are being shipped in transit through Norway. - The carrier or customs authority requires a transit declaration for the shipment.
Contact your customs adviser or Cargonizer support if you are unsure whether NVIT applies to your shipments.
How It Works¶
When NVIT is enabled, Business Central collects the following information from the source document lines and populates the NVIT Lines subpage on the transport order:
| NVIT Line Field | Source | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity | Source line quantity | Yes |
| HS Number | Item tariff (HS) number | Yes |
| Description | Source line description | Yes |
| Gross Weight | Source line gross weight | Yes |
| Net Weight | Source line net weight | No |
| Origin Country | Item country/region of origin (ISO alpha-2) | No |
| Currency / Amount | Source line value | No |
If the source line value is 0 (for example, a fully discounted line), Amount falls back to the item's unit price × quantity. If that is also 0, it falls back to the item's unit cost × quantity, so the customs declaration is not left with a zero value when a price is available.
This data is included in the consignment XML sent to Cargonizer when the transport order is dispatched.
Enabling NVIT¶
NVIT is controlled by a single global switch:
- Open Consignment Management Setup.
- Turn on NVIT Enabled.
- On every transport order created afterwards, the NVIT Lines subpage becomes visible and is automatically populated from the source document lines.
NVIT on Consolidated Consignments¶
When multiple shipments are merged into a single consolidated transport order, NVIT lines from all source shipments are combined onto the single transport order. See Consolidated Consignments.
Reviewing and Editing NVIT Lines¶
Before dispatching, open the NVIT Lines subpage to review the auto-populated data. You can manually adjust any field if the source data is incomplete or needs to be overridden for a specific shipment.
Prerequisites¶
- NVIT Enabled must be switched on in Consignment Management Setup.
- Items must have their Tariff No. (HS Number) and Country/Region of Origin populated for automatic collection to work. Lines with missing data are populated with blanks. Complete them manually before dispatch.
