Alcohol and tobacco quotas to Norway
In Norway, we have a quota on alcohol and tobacco. This means there is a limited amount of these products that can be brought into the country without paying high import taxes.
Quota without spirits
3 liters of wine (4 bottles) + 2 liters of beer / cider (6 x 0.33 l) + 100 cigarettes or 125 grams of tobacco products, and 100 sheets of cigarette paper
Quota with spirits
1 liter of spirits + 1.5 liters of wine (2 bottles) + 2 liters of beer / cider (6 x 0.33 l) + 100 cigarettes or 125 grams of tobacco products, and 100 sheets of cigarette paper
Quota consisting of only beer and tobacco
5 liters of beer / cider (15 x 0.33 l) + 100 cigarettes or 125 grams of tobacco products, and 100 sheets of cigarette paper
What is the value limit?
If you have been outside Norway for more than 24 hours, you can bring cosmetics and sweets for up to NOK 6,000 without paying duties and taxes. This value limit is the total amount of goods you have purchased, including quota goods. Alcohol and tobacco products are excluded from the quota limit of NOK 6,000. For stays abroad of less than 24 hours, you can bring in alcohol and tobacco goods worth up to NOK 3,000 duty- and tax-free once in a 24-hour period if you can prove that you have paid tax in an EEA country. Thus, you cannot buy taxable goods tax-free.
