Gifts

You may receive a gift shipment free from duties and taxes provided the value is NOK 1 000 or less and provided the shipment is sent from a private individual residing abroad to you as a private individual in Norway. However, there may be some restrictions or a ban on some types of goods being sent as gifts, and you can read more about this further down.

If you order gifts from abroad and they are sent directly from the online shop to the person you wish to give the gift to in Norway, the shipment will be Customs cleared as normal and the receiver will be charged import duties and taxes. The same applies if you order gifts from abroad and have them sent to yourself. Then you will be charged import duties and taxes.

If you receive a gift shipment containing gifts for several family members, you do not pay import duties or taxes provided the value of the gift to each individual family member is NOK 1 000 or less. This means that as an example, if your family consists of five members, a gift shipment may have a value of NOK 5 000 and you will not pay any import charges provided the gifts are marked to the different family members and the value of the gift to each individual is NOK 1 000 or less. The sender must clearly mark this both on the outside of the shipment and in the transport documents.

Gifts to be sent abroad

If you intend to send a gift to someone abroad, please be aware that different countries have different rules and regulations for gifts shipments. You should contact the Customs authorities in the country you intend to send the gift to for information about rules and regulations for receiving a gift shipment from Norway.
