tariff ch.  16-24 Prepared foodstuffs, beverages, etc.

Above changes will greatly improve service to some of our Customers. ( i.e. Previously we required TAX ID’s  and POA for any textiles over $ 250, now this is only required after $ 2,500)
TNT USA also increased the value of unrestricted shipments cleared under TNT USA’s Customs Bond. Previously this was up to $ 10,000, this is now up to $ 50,000.
$2,500-$ 50,000   Only TAX ID# required from Consignee for unrestricted Merchandise

상향조정됩니다. Low Value에 대한 구분은 다음과 같습니다.

De minimus    $1- $200  면세
간이통관  $201-$2,500  부가세 부과(DDP조건인 경우에는 us.duty@tnt.com으로 Pre-alert발송)

NORWAY - Gifts

Please be advised that gifts to private persons and companies in Norway are subject to normal customs clearance, meaning that the receiver will be charged the applicable import taxes.
The only exception is gifts from a private person to a private person providing the value of the goods are below NOK 1000.  The commercial invoice must show the receivers social security number in order to avoid a standard customs clearance and avoid import taxes. It is also important that 'gift' is stated on the commercial invoice in addition to a more detailed description of the goods.

NORWAY - Alcohol Restrictions
It is prohibited to send alcohol to companies in Norway unless they have an import license. It is however allowed to send alcohol to a private person, as long as the receiver / buyer on the commercial invoice is a private person and his / hers social security number is stated on the invoice.
If the alcohol is a gift, it is important that 'gift' is stated on the commercial invoice and details of what kind of alcohol (e.g. White wine - Chardonnay 6 x 0.75cl bottles).
