Regular mail

Mail sent outside Uppsala University, which PostNord manages. This includes envelopes with barcode or stamps.

Ariving goods

Incoming parcels are received and registered at Goods Reception. A message is sent from Goods Reception via e-mail to the addressee. If no one can be identified as the addressee, the message is sent to the administrator at the relevant department/unit.

• To pick up the package, you need a barcode. Bring along a printout or digital device to Goods Reception.
• Goods are to be picked up as soon as possible. If that is not possible, call Goods Reception at 018-471 5899.

Import of goods: When importing, Campus Management has a customer number at DHL that can be used by internal organisations. The customer number is linked to the address of Goods Reception: Uppsala University, Campus Management Ångström Laboratory, Lägerhyddsvägen 1, 752 37 Uppsala, Sweden. The cost of the service is invoiced to Campus Management but transferred to the unit placing the order. For this reason you should be sure to state the name of the purchaser/recipient.

Departing goods

Goods, mail parcels and express/courier shipments are sent with PostNord in accordance with the government agreement for parcel forwarding services.

1. The goods are to be packaged well. The sender is responsible for all transport damages caused by inadequate packaging. Campus Management has a packing table to assist you.
2. The sender is to provide all the information and documents required. The requirements depend on where the package is to be sent and what it contains.
3. Campus Management can help with shipping documents for departments/divisions that have agreements with PostNord.
4. PostNord invoices the division/unit/department.
5. Talk to Campus Management about the appropriate type of transportation. Faster transportation costs more.
6. PostNord picks up parcels daily
7. You need to make reservations for pallets that are to be sent no later than 14:00 on the same day.

Do you want to transport goods into or out of Sweden? Swedish Customs’ website contains information on how to do this. To import or export goods from or to the European Union’s customs territory, the commodity code of the goods is to be entered according to the designation used in the EU.

Dangerous goods

Dangerous goods is a collective term for substances and objects that have such dangerous properties that they can cause damage to people, the environment and property if they are not handled properly during transport. The law on transporting dangerous goods defines what the collective term “dangerous goods” includes.

All shipments need to include:

• A completed red form – “Shipper’s declaration for dangerous goods”. You can obtain the form from Goods Reception.
• MSDS – “Material Safety Data Sheet”. You can obtain a copy from KLARA, the chemical handling system.
• An appropriate warning label on the packaging is to be selected and filled out. Goods Reception has labels.

Dangerous chemical waste is disposed of through agreements with Rang-Sells, which packages, collects and takes care of the waste.

If you do not know the regulations, you can contact the University’s safety adviser, who provides advice on labelling and packaging, etc. See information on transport of dangerous goods in the Employee Portal.
