Öresund Toldpenge - 1683

I have a new puzzle to solve, regarding my ancestor Harmen Swafelstock. He returned from the Baltic Sea, and carried a lot of cargo with him for which he had to pay toll. In total he had to pay 8 Rigsdaler and he continued his voyage to La Rochelle in France. Here is the entry in the Toldregister:



And this is my transcription of the text:

No 410

will till Rewall fyrpenge 4 Dr [Daler] [tack Inger]
Sum[m]a - 8 Dr [Daler]

***) Inger: could it be schwensch-goeds [from Sweden?]

Remember, the text is in Danish from the 17th century and there are surprising differences with modern day Dansk.

Translation in Dutch:
No 410

Harmen Pietersz Swafelstock

met 10 oxhoofd wijn - 2 oxhoofd Edik
1/2 ton rozijnen - 1/2 ton krenten
1/2 vat pruimen - 4 Lasten pruimedanten
800 pond geraffinerde suiker 2 vaatjes Kandijsiroop

ficatie, datum: den 25 mei 1683
fig Lad 4 lasten haring? a q[vart] (=0,25) Dr - 2 Dr

Sum[m]a - 8 Dr [Daler]

It seems that Harmen came TO the Baltic in stead of FROM, as I first thought. He carried wine, a produce of France and not from the Baltic countries, and that supports the direction TO the Baltic.
