Exchange customs declarations with Icelandic customs directly from Business Central.
Sending customs declarations
Declarations flow from TOLL in Business Central to Tollur — through CentaraIQ, no X.400 needed.
Receiving customs responses
Responses flow back automatically — approvals, rejections, and queries land in your TOLL module.
Wise EDI Connector
The Centara eMessaging Connector for Wise EDI enables bidirectional exchange of customs documents between Business Central and the Icelandic customs authority (Tollur) — directly through CentaraIQ’s eDelivery platform.
Why this matters
Traditionally, exchanging customs declarations with Tollur requires an X.400 connection — a legacy messaging protocol that means:
- A dedicated X.400 subscription with a provider
- Long setup process (weeks to months)
- Expensive monthly fees
- Separate infrastructure to maintain
With the Wise EDI Connector, you skip all of that. Your customs declarations flow through CentaraIQ’s eDelivery platform using the address o=centara;a=isholf;c=is. You connect with your kennitala and start transmitting immediately — no X.400 subscription, no special EDI connection, no waiting.
How it works
The connector plugs into Business Central’s TOLL (customs declaration) framework as a file handler. When the TOLL module creates a customs declaration, it automatically routes through CentaraIQ instead of requiring a direct X.400 connection.
Sending customs declarations
- The TOLL framework in Business Central creates a customs declaration
- The connector picks it up automatically (registered as a TOLL file handler)
- The declaration is written to the Centara Messages table, encoded, and sent to CentaraIQ
- CentaraIQ delivers it to the customs authority via its X.400 gateway as a SKOT message
- The outbound message is logged with a unique tracking ID
Receiving customs responses
- The customs authority sends a response (approval, rejection, query)
- CentaraIQ receives it and creates an inbound message in the Centara Messages table
- The connector automatically detects the customs response and forwards it as a SKOT message to the TOLL framework
- The response is decoded and passed to the TOLL module for processing
- On success, the message status is set to Imported
Automatic retry
If an inbound response fails to process (e.g., the TOLL module can’t parse it), the connector retries automatically up to the configured maximum. Each attempt is logged with error details for debugging.
| Attempt | Status |
|---|---|
| First failure | Error (re-trying) |
| Subsequent failures | Error (re-trying), counter incremented |
| Max retries reached | Error (final) |
Setup
1. Enable the connector
- Open Centara Setup in Business Central
- Enable Wise EDI Connector
That’s it — no X.400 provider to set up, no special network configuration.
2. Configure your customs identity
- Open TOLL EDI Setup in Business Central
- Set your X400 Id — this is your sender party code (your kennitala-based address)
3. Verify connectivity
Send a test declaration through the TOLL module. Check the message log in Centara Setup to confirm delivery.
Configuration reference
| Setting | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Wise EDI Connector Enabled | Centara Setup | Master on/off switch |
| Web Service URL | Centara Setup | CentaraIQ endpoint (pre-configured) |
| Max retries of message sent | Centara Setup | Retry limit for inbound processing failures |
| X400 Id | TOLL EDI Setup | Your sender party code (kennitala-based) |
Message tracking
Every customs message — inbound and outbound — is stored as a message record with:
- Direction — Outbound (declaration) or Inbound (response)
- Status — Sent, Imported, Error (re-trying), Error (final)
- Error details — Full error text when processing fails
- Retry count — Number of processing attempts for inbound messages
- Tracking GUID — Unique identifier for tracing through CentaraIQ
Supported document types
| Type | Direction | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Customs Declaration | Outbound | Declarations sent to Tollur |
| Customs Response | Inbound | Responses from Tollur (approvals, rejections, queries) |
