Full Details

Posting perfume to Norway is customs-permitted but carrier-constrained: fragrance alcohol is a Class 3 dangerous-goods limited quantity, so many national posts refuse or cap air-mail perfume, and couriers require limited-quantity packaging. On the customs side Norwegian Customs (Tolletaten) treats it as an ordinary parcel: an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration is required, import VAT/GST at 25% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Norway abolished its NOK 350 personal-import duty-free threshold in April 2020. All commercial parcels attract 25% MVA + customs duty. VOEC scheme requires foreign sellers to register and collect VAT for parcels under NOK 3,000. Norway collects VAT from the first krone on foreign shipments — foreign shops registered under the VOEC scheme collect it at checkout for goods under NOK 3,000, otherwise the carrier collects VAT plus a fee on arrival.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Confirm the carrier accepts perfume before shipping to Norway — postal refusal is more common than a customs problem. Declare contents accurately on the CN22/CN23; 'gift' mislabelling does not remove import charges and flags the parcel.
