Font size

In September 2025, the new law on export recovery was introduced, which means that the Swedish Customs Service may itself initiate preliminary investigations.

In the first half of 2026, over 5,000 checks of outgoing traffic were made.

- They may have contributed to making Sweden less attractive to go to to commit crimes, says Director General of Customs Johan Norrman.

Large seizure in Gothenburg

Several large seizures have been made - including at Masthugskajen in Gothenburg. A truck with stolen goods worth over half a million kroner was stopped there in November.

The driver was sentenced to six months in prison for gross negligence.
