Export restrictions

Weight and measurement
Maximum allowed cargo weight for road transportation is 30 tons. For more information on weight and measurement restrictions please contact your local Maersk Line office.

Special cargo
Out of gauge, break bulk and dangerous cargo subject to standard Maersk Line approval procedures.

Custom clearance
All export cargo must be custom cleared before arrival to port. This is due to increased security from the Swedish Customs Authority. The exporter is always responsible for the cargo being customs cleared in due time but Maersk Line can assist if requested.

As from the 1st of June 2013 the possibility to mark an export booking with Q will cease to exist. As a carrier, we are responsible to report the customs status, MRN, to the Swedish Customs for all export containers that we load. MRN must be reported on container level. Late received or incomplete shipping instruction will mean that the container cannot be loaded on the vessel. The MRN number must be provided to local office no later than the time specified in your the booking confirmation.
