Do I have to pay customs or VAT on parcels into Norway?
Since 1 January 2024, Norway charges import VAT from the first krone on most goods, after the temporary NOK 350 exemption was removed. If the foreign store is registered in the VOEC scheme (for goods under NOK 3,000 per item), it collects Norwegian VAT at checkout and you avoid customs clearance on arrival. Otherwise the parcel may be held until VAT and any duties are paid.
