Full Details
Posting a watch to Norway is permitted with no licensing requirement; the compliance risk is valuation. Norwegian Customs (Tolletaten) assesses charges on the declared value from the CN22/CN23 or courier entry: 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. High-value watches should travel by insured courier with formal customs entry — postal channels cap indemnity far below luxury-watch values, and undervaluation to dodge charges voids insurance and invites seizure. 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.
Use an insured courier service with formal entry for anything valuable, declare the true price, and keep the invoice — undervaluing a shipped watch is the classic seizure-plus-penalty case.
