Import duties on shipments from abroad

Sometimes the import duties are not paid together with the item and this must be charged by us.

Shipments from abroad with unpaid import VAT and any customs duties will be cleared through Posten when they arrive in Norway.

  • For shipments you receive in the letterbox, you will also receive a subsequent payment request.
  • We ask that you pay the import duties as soon as possible and within the specified deadline. You can pay with Vipps or by card.
  • For shipments that cannot be placed in your letterbox, you will be notified to pick up at Posten's delivery point and must then pay – or confirm – payment of import duties before the consignment is delivered.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Find the package number for the shipment
  2. You will be taken to a page with more information about the shipment and what has been cleared by customs
  3. You will also receive a receipt in Norwegian and English when the fees have been paid

Do you have questions about import duties and payment?

When you shop from foreign online stores/e-commerce sites, you are required to pay the import VAT before you use the item. If Norwegian taxes are not paid together with the goods in the online store, Posten will clear your goods when they arrive in Norway.
