Shopping abroad

You can bring goods up to the value limit without paying duty or VAT when travelling to Norway. There are separate quotas for alcohol, tobacco, meat and cheese.

The value limit If you have been outside Norway for more than 24 hours, you can bring goods worth up to 6,000 Norwegian kroner without paying duties. For shorter trips abroad, you can once within a 24-hour period bring goods worth up to 3,000 Norwegian kroner free of charge. This value limit applies to the total sum of the items you have purchased, excluding alcohol and tobacco products.

Red or green channel At most border crossings RED and GREEN channels have been introduced. Go through the red channel if you have goods that are liable for duties and taxes, or if you have goods that require special permits.

Alcohol and tobacco quotas You may bring a duty free alcohol and tobacco quota when you have been abroad.

Meat, milk, cheese and other foods The quota of a total of 10 kilograms of meat, meat products, cheese and animal feed products apply when travelling to Norway from the EEA area.

Fruit, vegetables, plants, flowers and seeds There are limitations on what you can bring of vegetables, fruit, berries, plants and seeds to Norway.

Reimbursement of foreign VAT If you want to have VAT reimbursed that you have paid to a different country than Norway, this must be clarified with the store where you have purchased the item as to whether VAT is reimbursable. Norwegian Customs does not reimburse VAT paid in other countries.
