On a team council recommendation The government therefore proposes that the Swedish Customs can use the so-called postal barrier if a shipment is suspected of containing weapons, ammunition or explosive products.
– I myself was in customs and I heard that there are parts of weapons in packages and that they are concerned about that, says Andersson and points out that customs now have the opportunity to save those packages.
It is also proposed that the rules apply to so-called courier companies such as DHL, UPS and similar parcel providers.
Actors will also be required to inform Swedish Customs if they suspect explosive weapons or goods will be in the shipments they handle.
