Things to Know Before Shipping a Car to Norway

Norway requires that all vehicles entering meet the country's safety and emissions standards prior to your car being registered and driven in the country.

1. It's recommended that persons contact the Norwegian Public Roads Administration first to determine what mechanical requirements the vehicle will be subject to prior to registration.
2. After arriving in the country, you have 1 to 3 days to report to the local Customs and Excise office.
3. The NPRA requires inspection at one of its traffic services offices of all second-hand imported vehicles

VAT, Tax and Import Duties on Vehicles

The value added tax for imported automobiles is 25%. The percentage is based on the customs value. This number is calculated as follows: Customs value = purchase price + freight costs + insurance costs to the Norwegian border.

There are certain scenarios which allow you to ship your car and not have to pay taxes or duties as long as your stay will be shorter than 1 year.
