International Freight to Norway
We can ship a range of cargo either via full load, consolidated groupage, or express cargo to the whole of Scandinavia, including Norway. As experts in all aspects of shipping in Norway, our dedicated team is made up of specialists who know about getting commercial road freight packed and on its way fast. As such, you can rest assured that your consignment will arrive on time after being treated with the utmost care and attention. This attention to detail is even more critical in the post-Brexit trading environment when border and customs requirements are stricter and require more legal paperwork and compliance for goods to pass given that shipping from the UK to Norway by road typically means goods will enter the European Union en route.
It is worth underlining even though Norway is not a member state of the European Union. Regardless of this fact, Norway is a member of the European Economic Area so certain of the trading bloc’s rules about international shipments are relevant notwithstanding both the UK and Norway sitting outside of the EU today. Working with an experienced team that understands all of the rules means you can avoid problems that come with the various international regulations and cut through cross-channel delays to ensure that every B2B delivery to Norway from UK depots, factories and warehouses is handled professionally.

Shipping to Norway from the UK
At Barrington Freight, we offer some of the cheapest road freight rates of any Norway freight forwarders in the UK. However, we would like to emphasise that you should not confuse our low pricing with low quality. Because we have deals with reliable shipping companies in Norway, it means we can provide outstanding services at more attractive price points than our competitors. We will always do our best to keep our clients’ shipping costs down. Given that we also offer such excellent service, it is no wonder we have so many regular customers who turn to us again and again for road freight services to and from Norway.
Please note that we do not just have local experience of the Norwegian road network in the south of the country where most UK exports are sent.

Shipping Times From UK to Norway
How Long Does It Take to Ship to Norway?
STANDARD ROAD FREIGHT TO NORWAY 4 DAYS
Full-load transit jobs will typically take four days following a collection while our groupage rates are something that makes multiple shipments more affordable for many businesses. When you request a groupage shipment, expect your goods to be collected in the first week and delivered by the end of the second week. This effectively means that from the point of collection, the delivery will be completed within one week, streamlining the shipping process for efficiency and reliability.
Shipping from the UK to Norway with a groupage service means being able to obtain our most favourable rates. Groupage is suitable for less urgent UK-to-Norway shipping requirements and will suit large companies as well as SMEs with commercial clients in the Scandinavian country.

EXPRESS SHIPPING TO NORWAY 3 DAYS
British exporters can get their goods out of the country to arrive with their Norwegian clients quickly thanks to Barrington Freight’s express freight service which typically takes three days following collection. Why opt for much more expensive air freight that is rarely that much quicker when you consider all of the ground handling requirements when our logistical operation is set up for fast and efficient deliveries to the country? As members of the British International Freight Association, we have a trusted name that means express deliveries to Norway from the UK are handled professionally every time. With so much experience in the sector, why would you turn anywhere else?
Our nationwide fleet of drivers can be at your business premises within a matter of a few short hours for urgent shipments to Norway. We will come with a Sprinter van or a lorry to collect your goods and load up ready for the onward journey to Scandinavia. Once our driver has arrived in the country, he or she will drive to your customer with the most direct route possible. We can handle all pallet deliveries, skids and much more besides. If you want, we can also provide additional services, such as freight insurance, for any Norway delivery you need to make.

Norwegian Import Customs Requirements
Customs Considerations, VAT and Prohibited Items
VAT Norway
When shipping from Norway to UK destinations, managing customs declarations is essential. These declarations will include VAT notices. In Norway, businesses registered for VAT, known as “MVA” (Merverdiavgift), may have the option to zero-rate goods exported to the UK, provided they meet specific conditions. Norwegian VAT rules, although not governed by EU standards due to Norway’s EEA status, often align closely with EU directives. The standard VAT rate in Norway is 25%.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Norway |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 25% |
| Reduced Rate goods and services (e.g. food items excluding alcoholic beverages) | 15% |
| Super Reduced Rate goods and services (e.g. transport of some vehicles via ferry) | 12% |
| Special Reduced Rate goods and services (e.g. fishing supplies like raw fish) | 11.11% |
| Zero Rated products (e.g. exports of goods, newspapers) | 0% |
Restrictions
Bear in mind the following restrictions on goods when arranging a Norway delivery to the UK:
- Cultural and Historical Objects: Strict regulations apply to the export of Norwegian cultural and historical objects, including Viking relics, Sami handicrafts and ancient manuscripts, to preserve Norway’s rich heritage.
- Fish and Seafood Products: Due to Norway’s extensive marine resources, there are stringent regulations on the export and import of fish and seafood, especially for protected species and to maintain sustainable fishing practices.
- Outdoor and Camping Equipment Containing Gas: Given Norway’s vast wilderness areas and popular outdoor culture, there are some specific regulations on certain types of camping equipment, especially those containing gas, due to safety and environmental concerns.
- Alcoholic Beverages: Specific limitations and excise duties control the export and import of traditional Norwegian alcoholic beverages, such as Aquavit.
- Oil and Gas Equipment: Due to Norway’s significant oil and gas industry, there are special regulations and export controls on related equipment and technologies to protect national interests and comply with international agreements.
EORI Number Norway
You will need an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) for the UK and any EU country you ship to and from alongside a range of other customs requirements. See our blog on what is an EORI Number? for more information.
Remember, too, that simply registering with HMRC as an importer of goods from Norway will not be sufficient – on its own – to be able to use Norwegian suppliers.
Barrington Freight operates as a customs clearance agency as well as a team of expert freight forwarders, so we can help you with all of these matters if you need us to, whether you’re importing or exporting. We have the necessary licensing arrangements in place to oversee exported goods from the UK to Norway which has the same regulations in place as every other EU state. Therefore, we can help with multiple consignment deliveries that might include some in Norway and some in other countries, such as those in France, Spain or Belgium, for instance.
Shipping Routes to Norway from the UK
Here at Barrington Freight, we offer managed commercial shipping to Norway.

With plenty of experience handling export goods to Bergen, Lillehammer and Kristiansand, among other locations, you can be sure that shipping from the UK to Norway with us will become much easier and, in most cases, more affordable, as well.
