Swedish term or phrase: i stället förfarande enligt
An excerpt from a Swedish law regarding penalties for smuggling:

"I det fall bestämmelserna om tullbehandling inte är tillämpliga vid införsel från eller utförsel till ett annat EU-land, gäller vad som anges i första och andra styckena angående tullbehandling i stället förfarande enligt lagen (1996:701) om Tullverkets befogenheter vid Sveriges gräns mot ett annat land inom Europeiska unionen. Lag (2016:275)."

What does "i stället förfarande enligt ..." mean in this context -- i.e., how is "i stället" connected to the words that immediately follow?

If the sentence said "i stället för", then it would be pretty clear that it meant "instead of [whatever follows]", but since it is not followed by "för" (and for other contextual reasons), I'm not sure about that translation.

Thanks for any assistance.

English translation:instead proceedings according to ... are applicable
Explanation:
You have to look further back in the sentence for the connection, and the Swedish text is not entirely lucid still. But if you put a comma after "gäller" and understand "vad som" as "så som" with the reference back to the first and second para of the law, it becomes clear(ish).
