Customs clearance for arrivals to the Faroe Islands by sea or air

Vessels and aircraft arriving from abroad or carrying undeclared goods must notify Faroese customs authorities by phone at least 24 hours before entering Faroese customs territory (12 nautical miles from land). Required customs documents must also be submitted via email or fax prior to arrival. 

The rules apply in every case – whether it's a private issue, a commercial instance, a regulated matter, or just a one-off situation.
