PRACTICAL STARTING POINTS

What to get right

Which import route?

Start with the customer type, each item’s value and product eligibility. Use the full Norway guide to distinguish VOEC consumer sales from ordinary imports.

Who handles VAT?

Confirm whether your shop, a qualifying marketplace or the import process accounts for VAT. Keep registration and reporting responsibilities clear.

Electronic parcel data

Ask the carrier how the correct VOEC number and product details reach Norwegian Customs. Printing a reference alone is not the electronic handover.

Customer expectations

Explain any arrival charges before purchase and give customers a clear contact for tax or clearance queries.
