CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS FOR NORWAY

All international shipments from the UK require customs documents to be completed accurately and in detail. Without these, you risk your shipment getting delayed at the border.

This will be either a commercial invoice. Your courier provider will be able to provide these documents for you and help you complete them accurately.

Customs charges will be charged to the recipient in Norway, so you don’t have to worry about these as the sender. Items valued up to NOK 200 are exempt from import taxes and items like personal effects and packages intended as gifts are exempt from customs charges up to a value of NOK 1,000. This is provided they’re in line with Norway’s import regulations.

Make sure not to miss out on Customs Duty and VAT-free allowances by following government guidelines.

Some common mistakes include:

  • Not filling in the paperwork correctly (putting information in the wrong place or missing sections entirely)
  • Trying to send prohibited or restricted items
  • Being too vague or not providing enough detail on your items – e.g., instead of just saying ‘clothes’, state ‘2x men’s cotton shirts, made in England’
  • Sending items without the correct licenses and certificates

You can trust in PACK & SEND’s glowing international shipping record to make sure your packages are fully compliant with import guidelines.

SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS FOR NORWAY

Every country has different customs regulations to abide by and it can be tough to know what is allowed and which items are prohibited.

Before you attempt to ship your items, you’ll need to know what can be imported, in what quantities these are allowed and any restricted items ahead of time. This is important for avoiding hefty fines, cargo seizures or even having your goods sent back to you.

For example, Norway’s shipping restrictions include a limit of up to 10kg of meat. This is only allowed with a permit, too.

Importing more than NOK 25,000 (roughly £2,113) is also prohibited and can even land the attempted sender with a fine of up to 20% of the total amount sent.

ADDRESSING PARCELS TO NORWAY

Postal addressing rules aren’t the same in every country, which can cause confusion.

When shipping to Norway, the recipient’s name appears on the first line, with the street name and building number written on the second line.

It’s recommended to put the country code ahead of the 4-digit postcode on the third line – to avoid any confusion in delivery.

The country name should round off the address on the fourth line.

For example:

Theodor Solheim
Revierstredet 2
NO-0104 OSLO
Norway
