Editor's note
Ask what the shipment actually contains: a cover, filled bedding, finished curtains or uncut fabric. Get the fibre composition and dimensions for each different article in a set.
Compare each article with the displayed codes before estimating. If a set does not fit one supported description, check its classification separately. Do not apply a clothing rate to household textiles merely because the materials look alike.
Check your own order
One goods type, ordinary tariff and destination currency. No trade-agreement relief, trade-remedy duties, excise, gifts, returns or deductions for tax paid at checkout. Enter prices before tax; we do not convert currencies.
Common questions
How much is customs duty on home textiles imported into Norway?
Standard tariff before any preferential origin relief: Between 0% and 10.7% depending on the exact commodity code, with a median of 10.7%, effective 1 January 2013.
Is there a threshold below which I pay nothing on a parcel to Norway?
Ordinary imports outside VOEC have no general low-value duty exemption; eligible VOEC purchases are duty-exempt, with VAT collected at checkout.
Is import VAT charged on top of the duty in Norway?
Where import VAT is due, the stored rates are 25%, calculated on the customs value plus the customs duty itself. Tax collected at checkout must be checked before estimating an additional payment.
What does the worked example estimate?
A NOK 640.00 order with NOK 120.00 shipping gives NOK 369.65 in estimated duty, VAT and carrier fees, for a modelled total of NOK 1,129.65. The model assumes import tax has not already been paid at checkout. It uses the standard tariff before preferential origin relief. VOEC purchases are outside this example. This is not a prediction of the amount collected at delivery.
Classification notes
Distinguish a finished household article from fabric by the metre. Heading 6302 covers bed, table, toilet and kitchen linen. The textile section has specific rules for what counts as made up; material and construction still need to be identified.
A filled pillow is not interchangeable with a pillowcase for classification. Use the destination’s code-specific table rather than assuming all home textiles have the same duty.
