Regulations for fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers and seeds
There are limitations on what you can bring of vegetables, fruit, berries, plants and seeds to Norway.
The import of agricultural products is subject to special regulations in order to prevent the spread of plant and animal diseases.
You may still bring the following fruit, berries, plants and plant components for personal use without a permit

- up to 3 kilograms flower bulbs and flower knolls
- up to 5 potted plants (house plants) from European countries

If you are bringing larger amounts, you must have a phytosanitary certificate for the goods. Please note that you need a special permit to bring potatoes to Norway, regardless of the quantity.
Further information can be obtained from the Norwegian Food Saftey Authority.
Pesticides
It is forbidden to bring pesticides to Norway, either as a professional (unless you are approved by the competent authority) or for personal use in your own garden.
