Shipping to Norway: what is not allowed

Norway is outside the EU with its own customs. Most personal parcels are allowed and cleared with Norwegian VAT.

Not accepted for Norway

  • Counterfeit goods and endangered species products
  • Weapons and certain knives
  • Meat and dairy products without permits
  • Narcotics and controlled substances

Allowed, with conditions

  • Medicines — personal quantity with a prescription
  • Commercially packaged food — declare
  • Supplements and cosmetics — declare
  • Alcohol and tobacco — heavily restricted

Norway is NOT in the EU. Norwegian VAT (25%) applies; low-value goods use the VOEC scheme.

The recipient may need to pay charges before delivery.

Never accepted, wherever you are

These are refused by the airlines and by Indian export rules, so they cannot leave our warehouse for any destination.

  • Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones
  • Narcotics, illegal drugs, and psychotropic substances
  • Firearms, ammunition, explosives, fireworks, and weapons (including replicas)
  • Loose lithium batteries and power banks
  • Flammable, corrosive, or pressurised goods — perfumes/deodorant sprays, aerosols, paints, thinners, fuel, gas cylinders, lighters, and matches
  • Live animals, plants, seeds, soil, and products of endangered species (CITES)
  • Pornographic, obscene, or seditious material
  • Counterfeit goods and pirated media
  • Human remains, biological samples, and infectious substances
  • Radioactive and toxic substances

If you are not sure about something, ask on WhatsApp before you order it. We would much rather answer a question than tell you a parcel is stuck.
