Ordering Nicotine Products to Norway – A Complete Guide

Purchasing nicotine products from Sweden to Norway requires careful planning and knowledge of Norwegian laws and customs regulations. We have created a complete guide detailing each step for a safe and hassle-free import.

New Tobacco Regulations in Norway (2024)

As of February 4, 2024, Norway introduced a new tobacco directive aligned with the EEA agreement. This entails specific rules and restrictions impacting imports and usage within Norway.

Prohibited products include:

• E-cigarettes and e-liquids containing nicotine.

• E-cigarettes and e-liquids without nicotine, except those with tobacco flavor.

After July 1, 2024, only tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes and e-liquids are permitted.

Which Nicotine Products Can Norwegian Residents Purchase?

Medical Certificate Requirement for Nicotine Products

Private imports of nicotine products into Norway require a medical certificate verifying the products are used as smoking cessation aids.

How to obtain a medical certificate:

• Book an appointment with a doctor (e.g., through Kry.no).

• Inform the doctor about your use of e-cigarettes for smoking cessation.

• Obtain the medical certificate from the doctor.

A medical certificate typically costs around 365 NOK (one-time fee).

The certificate must be uploaded to Norwegian customs upon request. To expedite processing, we recommend uploading the certificate immediately when your package reaches customs.

Products requiring a medical certificate:

• E-liquids containing nicotine (all flavors).

• Disposable vapes containing nicotine (all flavors).

Products not requiring a medical certificate:

• Nicotine-free e-liquids with tobacco flavor.

• Nicotine-free disposable vapes with tobacco flavor.

• Base liquids for DIY mixing.

Although not mandatory, we strongly recommend obtaining a medical certificate even for these products, as customs procedures may vary.

Cost Example for Importing Nicotine to Norway

Importing nicotine products involves VAT (MVA), customs duties, and administrative fees.

Example with one bottle of 100 ml nicotine (100 mg/ml):

• Product + shipping: 375.20 SEK + 79 SEK

• VAT (25%): 121.55 SEK (calculated on product price + shipping + customs duty)

• Customs duty: 32 SEK

• Customs clearance fee + age verification: 299 SEK + 20 SEK

Total cost for 1 bottle: 929.75 SEK Total cost for 2 bottles: 1395.75 SEK (697.88 SEK each) Total cost for 3 bottles: 1864.75 SEK (621.58 SEK each)

As illustrated, unit prices decrease with larger orders, but remember that the total quantity must not exceed three months of personal consumption.

Always double-check current customs rules and costs here.
