Meat Products → Sweden

Meat Products is restricted for travelers entering Sweden; declare above the personal allowance.

Details

Meat Products requires declaration at customs (and in some cases an import permit) when carried by travelers into Sweden. Tullverket (Swedish Customs) applies a personal-allowance threshold per item category; quantities above attract duty + the destination's VAT/GST rate (25%) plus, for select categories, an additional excise tax. EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Travelers should consult Tullverket (Swedish Customs) for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.

Leaving with this item

Meat products for personal consumption may face export limits from Sweden for animal-health documentation reasons; commercial quantities require an Export Health Certificate.

Practical advice

Carry Meat Products in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. Tullverket (Swedish Customs) computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
