  • For the seller route, have the seller complete RD 0032, obtain export attestation at a staffed customs crossing and return the form to the seller. Confirm opening hours.
  • Norwegian Customs does not pay refunds. Private tax-free operators use their own documents and commercial conditions; their payouts are not determined by this statutory minimum.

How it works

Current Customs guidance, checked 15 November 2026, sets NOK 250 excluding VAT per invoice for ordinary foreign residents; Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Svalbard and Jan Mayen use NOK 1,000 per item. This checks the seller route, not an operator’s commercial minimum. Original commencement dates are not stated in that guidance.

Choose actual invoice VAT for mixed-rate purchases, or estimate a single-rate purchase using the official goods rate. The rate is applied to the net price, so extracting VAT from a gross price gives:

estimated VAT = gross × rate / (100 + rate)

price excluding VAT = total − VAT
estimated refund = max(0, VAT − fee), if checks pass

Ordinary and Svalbard/Jan Mayen exports must occur within one month. The calendar calculation uses the same day next month, clamped to month-end where necessary; confirm edge-date paperwork with customs. Nordic residents must import home immediately in connection with purchase and incur home-country VAT under section 6-25(2). Hidden date inputs are ignored for that route.

Actual invoice amounts are subtracted and compared as exact decimals; rate-mode minimums use an exact comparison before division. No intermediate rounding. Money displays to two decimals. Example amounts do not assert a VAT rate or operator fee.

Worked examples

Ordinary visitor at the minimum

NOK 312.50 including NOK 62.50 VAT gives NOK 250 excluding VAT. With a NOK 10 fee and timely export, the estimated refund is NOK 52.50.

Swedish resident buying one item

NOK 1,250 total less NOK 250 VAT meets the NOK 1,000 item minimum. With a NOK 50 fee and the required import conditions, the estimate is NOK 200.00. Home-country import VAT is not deducted here.

Calendar month, not thirty days

Delivery on 31 January 2026 gives a calculated deadline of 28 February 2026. Delivery on 1 July gives 1 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Swedish resident combine cheap items?
The NOK 1,000 excluding-VAT condition is per item. Do not enter the basket total for this route.
Why is the refund below the headline VAT rate?
VAT is part of the gross price, and fees can reduce the payout. Use actual invoice VAT for mixed rates, or choose the 25% normal or 15% foodstuffs preset for a single-rate estimate.
What evidence does the seller need?
Ordinary visitors use the seller-completed RD 0032 with export attestation and return it to the shop. Nordic residents send their home-country import declaration receipt.
Does customs pay the refund?
No. Arrange it with the seller. Private operators have separate documents and conditions; their documents are not stamped by Norwegian Customs.
