Calculating import duties for Norway

Import duties are taxes imposed by the government on imported goods. When importing from Norway, you must pay duties based on the type and value of the goods, including shipping and insurance costs. Duty rates vary significantly, typically ranging from 2.5% to 15%, with exemptions for certain items like books and higher rates for products such as alcohol and tobacco. Additionally, Norwegian VAT is generally 25%, with reduced rates of 15% for items like food and books. Excise and environmental taxes may also apply based on the goods imported.

You can find an overview here on the website of the Norwegian government.
