Sending moving goods by mail You can send moving goods by mail, but it is important to declare the shipment as moving goods and attach both an inventory list and a signed moving goods declaration. This ensures that we receive all the necessary information about the contents of the shipment.

Transporting part of the move yourself and part through a carrier If you choose to transport part of the move yourself and the rest through a carrier, you must still use the same form for the entire move. You must create two copies of the inventory list, specifying what you are taking with you and what is being sent. Additionally, you must fill out two identical copies of the moving goods declaration. One set of the inventory list and declaration you take with you and show us in the red zone, while the other set accompanies the carrier.

Students returning after studying abroad Students returning home after studying abroad must declare their belongings using a moving goods declaration. Follow the instructions described in the previous points.

Parents transporting a student's belongings If a student's parents are transporting the belongings, they must declare this on behalf of the student. They need a power of attorney from the student, an inventory list, and upon import to Norway, they must also have a signed moving goods declaration.

Importing items from a holiday home abroad Items from a holiday home abroad cannot be declared as moving goods and must be cleared through customs in the usual manner. This means you must pay customs duties and taxes in the usual way.

Importing animals as moving goods Animals can be brought into Norway duty-free as moving goods, but it is important that all necessary vaccinations, ID marking, and health documents are in order. This is to ensure that the animal meets Norwegian health requirements.

Importing weapons as moving goods Weapons can also be brought duty-free as moving goods, but an application for a weapon permit and import permit from the police is required. Make sure you have all the necessary documentation in order before attempting to import weapons.

Important points to remember Before you fill out and submit the moving goods declaration, it is crucial that you read the explanations on the back of the form. This will give you a clear understanding of the requirements and procedures and help you avoid common mistakes.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth and trouble-free process of declaring moving goods, whether you are moving to or from Norway.
