Dear Customer(s),

This is for information.

NORWAY - Alcohol Restrictions

It is prohibited to send alcohol to companies in Norway unless they have an import license. It is however allowed to send alcohol to a private person, as long as the receiver / buyer on the commercial invoice is a private person and his / hers social security number is stated on the invoice.

If the alcohol is a gift, it is important that 'gift' is stated on the commercial invoice and details of what kind of alcohol (e.g. White wine - Chardonnay 6 x 0.75cl bottles). The receiver will be charged import and excise duties even if it is a gift. Customers wishing to send alcohol to Norway should be informed of these rules.

NORWAY - Gifts

Please be advised that gifts to private persons and companies in Norway are subject to normal customs clearance, meaning that the receiver will be charged the applicable import taxes.

The only exception is gifts from a private person to a private person providing the value of the goods are below NOK 1000.  The commercial invoice must show the receivers social security number in order to avoid a standard customs clearance and avoid import taxes. It is also important that 'gift' is stated on the commercial invoice in addition to a more detailed description of the goods.
