Moving Household Goods to Norway
When moving household goods to Norway from the USA, certain regulations and tax exemptions apply. If you have owned your household goods for at least 12 months, you can bring them into Norway without paying duty or taxes. However, if the items are new (owned for less than 12 months), you may be required to pay duty on those specific items.
The following items are generally considered as household goods when moving to Norway:
- Furniture
- Books
- Bedding
- Clothing
- Kitchenware
- Appliances
- Housewares
- Electronics, such as TVs, etc.
Of course, the list can be extended, but not everything can be brought in, especially when moving to Norway from a non-EU jurisdiction. The advantage of hiring an international household mover is that they know all the details of shipping personal belongings and make sure you don’t include something in a container that can delay shipping.
SDC International Shipping is an expert in relocating household goods to Norway. We also offer a packing service to protect high-value items. In addition, we can help you obtain international moving insurance. You will be reimbursed for any damage or loss in case of unforeseen events during the ocean or air freight.

Benefits of Shipping in a Container
When it comes to shipping your car, choosing a containerized shipment is the optimal choice for several reasons:
1. Enhanced Security and Protection
Opting for a containerized shipment means your car will be safely enclosed within a dedicated container, providing an extra layer of security and protection during transportation. Unlike Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) shipments, where vehicles are exposed to the elements, containerized shipments shield your car from potential damage caused by harsh weather conditions, debris, or accidental scratching.
2. Exclusive Use of the Container
With a containerized shipment, you have the advantage of a dedicated container for your vehicle. Unlike RoRo shipments, where multiple cars are loaded and secured together, a solo container ensures your car won’t share space with other customers’ vehicles. This significantly reduces the risk of potential damage that may arise from the movement or shifting of nearby vehicles during transit.
3. Personalized Packing and Additional Cargo
Shipping your car in a container grants you the flexibility to pack personal belongings or other items inside the same container, allowing for a more efficient and cost-effective move. You can utilize any extra space within the container, maximizing its capacity and avoiding the need for separate shipments for your car and personal items.
4. Greater Privacy and Confidentiality
Containerized shipments provide an added layer of privacy and confidentiality. Your vehicle will be concealed within the container, protecting it from prying eyes and maintaining your privacy throughout the shipping process.

Cost of Car Shipping to Norway from the USA
When it comes to determining the cost of shipping a car from the USA to Norway, it’s important to consider multiple variables that can affect the total price. At SDC International Shipping, we provide personalized and transparent pricing, taking into account various factors that contribute to the final cost.
Variables Affecting the Total Price
1. Service Tax (VAT): Value Added Tax (VAT) is imposed on the imported vehicle and is set at 25% in Norway. This tax is calculated based on the vehicle’s value and is an essential component of the overall shipping cost.
2. Shipping Method: The chosen shipping method, whether it’s containerized shipment or Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo), will impact the price. Containerized shipping generally incurs higher costs due to the exclusive use of a dedicated container for your vehicle’s protection.
3. Pickup Location and Final Destination: The distance between the pickup location in the USA and the final destination in Norway will influence the overall shipping cost. The transportation expenses associated with the pickup and delivery of your vehicle play a role in the final pricing.
4. Additional Costs: Storage and cleaning fees are additional factors that might contribute to the overall cost. If your vehicle needs temporary storage or requires cleaning services to comply with customs regulations, these expenses should be considered.

Ocean Freight for Bulk Shipments
When it comes to transporting household goods and even vehicles, many of our clients opt for solo container ocean freight. This method is particularly advantageous for shipments exceeding 100 kg, as it offers the most economical solution for your needs.
Airfreight for Small Shipments
While airfreight generally entails higher costs, it doesn’t have to drain your finances when shipping smaller loads. To accommodate smaller consignments without breaking the bank, we recommend the use of shared or consolidated container options, which provide substantial cost savings.
