Value added tax
You must always pay the 25 per cent value added tax on clothing regardless of whether the goods are subject to any customs duty or not. Value added tax is calculated based on the total cost of the goods. Shipping and insurance costs up to the Norwegian border and any customs duties and other taxes on importation shall, for example, be included in the calculation basis.
Free trade agreements
It is possible to reduce the customs duty or pay no customs duty if you buy from a country with which Norway has a free trade agreement.
