Travelling with expensive items

When travelling from and returning to Norway with an expensive item, it is advantageous to be able to document that the item was in your possession when you left Norway. This may by documented with an identification certificate.

Note: An update of this article is pending. Please note that some terms and/or references may differ from the Movement of Goods Act and the Customs Duty Act that enters into force from the 1st of January 2023.

You should obtain an identification certificate for expensive items. If you have an identification certificate that proves that the items have been exported from Norway, you may reimport the items without paying duties or taxes.

The certificate may also be used for subsequent travel abroad if you are taking the same items.
