Starting January 2024, Norway's simplified VAT plan, VOEC is alive. Learn more about the changes introduced by Norwegian Customs.
We want to ensure you are well-informed about the upcoming changes in the VOEC (VAT On E-Commerce) regulations introduced by Norwegian Customs.
Understanding the KEY Changes
-
Effective January 1, 2024, all parcels with a declared value below 3000 NOK must follow the VOEC declaration method.
-
Starting from December 14, 2023, orders placed without a VOEC number will not be accepted.
-
For orders placed before December 14, 2023, ensure delivery by December 14, 2023. Parcels arrived after December 15, 2023, without a VOEC number, may incur additional taxes or fees. (Applicable fees below)
