由 lltx1822 Shipping E-cigarettes to Norway
Norway, though not in the EU, aligns with many EU TPD standards but has stricter rules enforced by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet). E-cigarettes containing nicotine are legal but subject to rigorous controls.
Key requirements: e-liquids with nicotine up to 20mg/ml, 2ml tanks, and Norwegian labels with warnings like “Nikotin er avhengighetsskapende” (Nicotine is addictive). All products must meet Nordic Swan Ecolabel standards for environmental friendliness, adding an extra layer of compliance.
Transporting e-cigarettes to Norway requires compliance with REACH-like regulations for e-liquid ingredients. Lithium batteries must be packed according to ADR for road transport or IATA for air freight, with each package including a safety data sheet in Norwegian.
Customs documentation includes a commercial invoice, importer’s VAT number, and a certificate of compliance with Norwegian standards. Norway imposes 25% VAT on e-cigarettes, plus a high tobacco tax of NOK 0.50 per ml of nicotine e-liquid. Mattilsynet may inspect shipments to check for illegal additives, so retain ingredient test reports.
