TRK - customs ID-number (former MRK-number)

Persons and companies that import and export goods are obliged to give their personal ID-number or business-number given by The Norwegian Authorities. 

The type of numbers that are accepted are personal ID numbers or D-numbers for persons from Skatteetaten/The Norwegian Tax administration. Companies must give their business number from Foretaksregisteret/The Register of Business Enterprises. 

The Norwegian Customs Electronic system for exchanging customs declarations (TVINN) requires one of the above-mentioned numbers. 

If you do not have a number to give to the Customs, you must apply for a TRK-number. 

You must apply for a TRK-number if you have a number, but you have moved from Norway and are a resident abroad.   

The freight-forwarders often applies for the TRK-number on behalf of their customers.
