Exporting and Importing To Denmark
Denmark’s central location makes it an attractive country for imports and exports, while its growing economy favors investors and encourages trade liberalization and foreign investment. Denmark’s top trading partners include the United States, Germany, and Sweden, with the main imports into Denmark being machinery, oil, gas, and manufactured goods. Denmark’s export activities include industrial machinery, capital equipment, and computer products, of which the US is the primary exporter.
Their high GDP, along with their advanced technologies, has resulted in Denmark being on the road to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. This further emphasizes the country’s vision of increasing technology investments.
Denmark is also a member of the European Union and maintains strong relationships with the rest of Europe. Thanks to its EU membership, it can enjoy relatively low import duties of 0-14 percent on technology, depending on the product. This further makes it an attractive country to import into, as it shares similar trading regulations with its neighbors, Norway and Sweden.

Unique Trade Pain Points for Denmark
Specific categories of tech goods require an import license issued by the Danish Commerce and Industry Agency. At the same time, additional equipment, such as wireless or encrypted devices, may require special permits from the relevant authorities. Furthermore, as a non-EU member, importing into Denmark comes with complexities, yet TecEx has extensive experience dealing with EU regulations and can streamline this process.
Importers are also obligated to adhere to trade compliance requirements; these include customs registrations, declarations, Harmonized System (HS) codes, tariff classifications, product certifications, Danish labeling, duties, and taxes. TecEx can, therefore, assist in ensuring that all documents are collected and no time is wasted.

Specific Compliance Regulations
Single Administrative document
A single Administrative document (SAD) is required to describe the movement of goods for exporting outside the European Union. The SAD can be used for all EU member states and includes duties and VAT.
Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI)
An EORI number is mandatory for all companies outside of the EU; hence all non-EU countries would require this number for customs clearance when importing into Denmark. Once this number is obtained, it can be used amongst all EU member states when trading.
Packing List
A packing list is needed, which requires in-depth descriptions of the tech products being shipped into Denmark. This will allow for a smooth and quick customs clearance and clarify all uncertainties regarding quantities and specifications.
Certificate of Origin
A certificate of origin is needed for imports into Denmark. This document includes contact information, a description of the goods, an airway bill number, and more.
Commercial Invoice
All international shipments imported into Denmark require a commercial invoice. This invoice requires various components, including the reason for exports, shipment numbers, incoterms, and a description of the goods.
