No, 35% window tint is illegal in Sweden under the Trafikförordning (1998:1276) and Transportstyrelsens föreskrifter (TSFS 2022:87). The Swedish Transport Agency enforces a 70% light transmittance (VLT) requirement for front side windows and 25% for rear side/rear windows. A 35% tint blocks 65% of light, violating these limits. Non-compliance risks fines up to SEK 1,500 and mandatory tint removal.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Sweden
- Front side windows: Must allow ≥70% light transmittance (≤30% tint). 35% tint exceeds this threshold.
- Rear side/rear windows: Must allow ≥25% light transmittance (≤75% tint). While 35% tint technically complies here, front windows remain non-compliant.
- Medical exemptions: Rarely granted via Transportstyrelsen; requires documented proof of a condition necessitating darker tint. Standard 35% tint does not qualify.
Sweden’s regulations align with EU directives but exceed minimum standards. The 2026 revision of TSFS 2022:87 introduces stricter enforcement, including roadside VLT testing via handheld devices. Aftermarket tinting must bear a CE marking certifying compliance with EN 12675. Vehicles imported from non-EU countries face additional scrutiny; Swedish customs may reject non-compliant tints during registration.
