NORWAY - Alcohol Restrictions

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). The receiver will be charged import and excise duties even if it is a gift. Customers wishing to send alcohol to Norway should be informed of these rules.
