Easily navigate through freight solutions and returns management in Norway. With our experience and network, we ensure fast delivery, correct customs handling and a smooth process for your customers.

Understand the processes behind shipping and return address in Norway

Shipping goods to Norway requires an understanding of Norwegian customs and VAT regulations. Norway is not part of the EU, which means that goods must be cleared through customs upon import. In addition, an efficient returns solution can make a big difference to your customer service and costs.

We offer knowledge and solutions within:

  • Duty credit: Defer payment of duties and taxes to improve cash flow.
  • Warehousing: Reduce delivery time with strategically located storage facilities in Norway.
  • Shipping solutions: Choose between land, air and sea freight, depending on what suits your goods and your business needs.
  • VOEC scheme: VAT simplification on goods under 3,000 NOK, saving your customers from delivery fees.
  • Norwegian tariffs and commodity codes: Ensure correct calculation of customs duties and VAT on import.


With the right combination of shipping and returns management, your business can create a better customer experience and optimize costs.

Norwegian tariffs and commodity codes

To avoid problems with the authorities, it's important to understand how VAT, freight and tariffs work when trading across borders.

If your business sells goods to Norway, you must be registered in the VAT register when turnover exceeds NOK 50,000 within 12 months. For goods under NOK 3,000, the VOEC scheme can be used, where Norwegian VAT is paid directly and the customer avoids delivery fees. Freight companies can often handle customs and VAT for you, simplifying the process.

Tariff rates are calculated based on commodity codes (HS codes), which can be found via the Danish Customs Digital Tariff or the EU TARIC database. DKNO Partners can help you find the correct codes through our partners.

Customs credit in Norway - is it necessary?

Customs credit allows companies to defer payment of customs duties and VAT, improving cash flow and simplifying administration. Payments are collected and paid typically once a month, creating a better financial overview.

To get a customs credit, the company must be registered in the VAT register and apply through Altinn. Often security, such as a bank guarantee, is required and approval depends on the company's finances. Once the scheme is in place, your business can optimize liquidity and reduce daily administrative burdens.

Warehouses - a flexible solution

Warehouses are an effective solution for companies looking to reduce delivery times and costs. Goods can be stored, picked and packed here, freeing up resources for the core business.

This solution is ideal for businesses with seasonal fluctuations or expansion into new markets. Warehouses offer flexibility and modern inventory management, but it can mean less control over logistics. DKNO Partners works with warehouses in Norway and Denmark and can help you find a solution that suits your needs.
