fourtyvoats Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well that might be the case in Ireland but here in the UK you will get hit for VAT and Duty, Norway is not in the EU so we are not excerpt Customs Charges. It does not make any difference UK/Ireland as Norway is part of the European Economic Area and as such, has "free interchange" rights for goods and services with any country in the EU, see below European Economic Area[edit]The EEA agreement grants Norway access to the EU's single market while the country is to adopt most EU legislation related to that market. Additionally, Norway is a part of theSchengen Area, and has been granted participation rights (save voting rights) in several of the Union's programmes, bodies and initiatives.[2] These include the European Defence Agency, the Nordic Battle Group, Frontex, Europol and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. Whether or not the country should apply for full membership has been one of the most dominant and divisive issues in modern Norwegian political debate.

Well, despite that VAT and Duty are still payable from goods imported from Norway by individuals into the UK as Norway is not a member of the EU. Norway being pat of some other club does not exclude full members of the EU having to pay taxes on goods imported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourtyvoats Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 You are not correct John. Norway being a member of the EFA is specifically designed to allow the flow of goods and services between Norway and the EU without them being subject to Duties and VAT , in either direction. I know this from personal experience and from checking the rules of the EFA. I researched this in advance of buying a Grodas stock which came straight in without any Duty or Vat as it would have If I lived in the UK.

John MH Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Well, when I bought one of the bags that are the subject of this group buy direct from Norway I was charged VAT, Duty and a handling charge. Go figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John MH Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not just me then. I don't quite know what being in the EU club and out of it in the EFTA brings but its not exempt VAT and Duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avian Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not just me then. I don't quite know what being in the EU club and out of it in the EFTA brings but its not exempt VAT and Duty. The EFTA membership just means that goods from these countries can pass though member states without paying VAT or Duty until they reach their final destination, at which time VAT and duty are due. So if you did not pay it on goods sent then it just means customs did not pick up on that package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourtyvoats Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 It is not the EFTA it is the EEA. It is all confusing. Maybe the Conservative party's apparent ambiguous relationship with the EU has resulted in an ambiguous attitude on the part of those who apply Vat and duty on imports. Blame your MP if you get hit.

fourtyvoats Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Wikipedia is not the answer to everything. How about this then? Norway Goods Updated 10/2012 Legal requirements The EEA Agreement states that there should be free movement of goods within the areas covered by the Agreement. The rules on the free movement of goods forbid various kinds of barrier to trade. Typical barriers to trade might be various taxes and import and export restrictions. All taxes or equivalent economic burdens placed on goods because they cross a frontier are forbidden. Goods covered by the EEA Agreement are also exempt from customs duty. This exemption is, however, conditional on the importer presenting proof that the goods originate within the EEA (Certificate of Origin). As the EEA Agreement does not mean inclusion in the EU Customs Union, a customs declaration is still required at borders between Norway and the EU. Enterprise Europe Network - Free movement of goods Legal requirements: Product Control Act Act on the labelling of consumer goods Pollution Control Act Food Act From this web site http://europa.eu/youreurope/business/vat-customs/buy-sell/index_en.htm#norway_en_selling-goods BTW the exporter sent a Certificate of Origin with the package. Why am I bothering? I knew I did not have to pay duty or vat. I did not pay duty or vat. If you did you should not have. Claim it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MH Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 You don't have a choice with Parcelforce (you can appeal to HMRC but I don't think it will work in this case) and I'm still convinced you are wrong. And all your links are Norwegian not HMRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangbangman Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I had no idea this was a first come, first serve, free for all. I committed for a green/green here and on Stalking Directory. Now they are all gone?! How does that work? Who has the green/green that I ordered. Slick. Please let me know if you run another, and how I can avoid this disappointment next time.
