NUF number on the importer party

· One min read

A new optional attributes entry, nuf, is now supported on the importer party for shipments to Norway. It lets you declare the Norwegian NUF number (Norwegian-registered foreign business) that customs and VAT should be billed to, and it is sent on to the carrier with the customs documentation.

{
"parties": [
{
"type": "importer",
"name": "Mitt Företag AB NUF",
"address1": "Drottninggatan 12",
"postal_code": "111 51",
"city": "Stockholm",
"country_code": "SE",
"attributes": [
{
"name": "nuf",
"value": "123456789MVA"
}
]
}
]
}

The value must be exactly nine digits followed by MVA, with no spaces - shipments declaring anything else are rejected. The attribute is supported for DHL Express, FedEx, PostNord DK and PostNord (SE, NO, FI).

For PostNord, nuf takes precedence over the importer's vat_no in the customs declaration, and declaring both on the same party is rejected - send only the one that should be used.

Find the full specification in our Shipments API reference, and see Parties for how parties and their attributes work.
