Shipping Options When Moving to Norway from the US
To correctly assess the price, we will need to know which shipping option you have decided on. Here’s what we typically offer:
Shared Container
Shared container: If you don’t have enough cargo to fill a container, the benefit to this option is that you only pay for the volume you’re shipping and don’t have to pay for the space you don’t use. The drawback is you have to wait for the container to be filled by other customers, which can add to the total transit time.
Sole Container
Sole container: Because you don’t have to wait for others to fill up the container, the benefit of this option is that you get a flat rate and quicker transport. You get the container all to yourself. The drawback is that it is more expensive than shared containers.
Air Freight
Air freight: This is usually reserved for smaller shipments. The benefit of this option is your shipment will get to Norway in a matter of hours rather than days or weeks. The drawback is that this option is very expensive.
How Long Does it Take to Ship Goods to Norway?
In general, your shipment will get to Norway faster if the departure port is on the East Coast. From New York, Savannah, and Houston it usually takes between 18 and 21 days for a ship to arrive in Norway from the U.S. On the other hand, from West Coast ports like Los Angeles, transit times can be up to 30 days.
Please keep in mind that we do all we can to meet estimates, but the above transit times should serve as a guide and not exact times. Always get in touch with us for a quote for more accuracy, and remain patient knowing the times can change based on many factors such as weather.
What You Need When Moving to Norway From the USA
Norway allows those moving here to bring personal possessions duty-free, provided they have been used for at least a year. Note that vehicles are not exempt from paying duty in Norway. You will be responsible for any taxes or duties that may be levied on any of your goods. We do not include those payments in our quote.
Like many other Nordic Countries, Norway has adopted a dual-income Tax, which means income from labor and pensions is taxed at progressive rates. Capital income, on the other hand, is taxed at a flat rate.
You will have to present Customs with the proper importation declaration forms, such as the RD0030 clearance form. It’s a good idea to give us a detailed inventory list to speed up the process and state if something is new or used.
The documents that are required when moving from the U.S to Norway include:
✓ Inventory of your goods (no need to include the value of the goods)
✓ Passport
✓ Residence Visa/permit
✓ Work Permit
✓ Bill of Lading
How Much Does it Cost to Ship a Car to Norway?
In order to give you an accurate quote, you will have to call us or click on the get quote button. But in general, one major factor that we consider is the volume of your goods. If you have enough to fill up a container, you won’t have the option to share costs with other people.
Other factors that come into play include the distance from your home to the departure port, the distance between the departure and destination port, and the shipping option that you choose. As you know from above, air freight is the most expensive. If you choose door-to-door delivery, you will also pay a little more.
