Why Norway is different
Close to the EU – but outside it
Norway is not a member state of the European Union.
EU VAT and customs rules therefore do not apply to imports into and exports from Norway.
Our office is located in Halden, on the border with Sweden and the European Union. Our expertise helps businesses achieve a smooth trade of goods and services.
