Shipping from China to Norway

We're a Chinese freight forwarder operating from the origin, where your goods are made and loaded. Importing directly from China brings barriers —the language, the distance, who to turn to— and our job is to make them a non-issue. Norway is outside the European Union and has its own customs, and importing into it has its own logic: we handle it end to end —transport, documentation and customs—, with the prices you only get by working from the origin itself.

Why work with a forwarder at origin

Better price, no middlemen

You work with the people at the port of departure in China, not a middleman in Norway that subcontracts. Fewer links, better price.

Control from the factory

We're where your goods are made and loaded: we coordinate pickup, consolidation and shipping from the very first metre.

We know the ground

We know Chinese carriers, ports and export formalities inside out. We pick the best combination of factory, port and carrier to Norway.

Close service, no language barrier

We work in writing and can reply in English, the common standard in international shipping, and in Spanish when you need it. Every detail stays clear and documented — no language barrier with the origin.

Entry ports in Norway

There is no direct China–Norway ocean service: cargo passes through a major northern European hub and links to a Norwegian port. We pick the one that connects best with your destination to cut cost and time.

Oslo

Norway's largest cargo port and the natural entry for the southeast and the capital region. A major container terminal with good inland road and rail connections.

Bergen

The great west-coast port, historic and very active, the gateway for western Norway and strong in project cargo and industrial supply.

Stavanger

In the southwest, the nerve centre of Norway's energy sector. A good entry for the Rogaland region and industrial cargo.

Trondheim

The main gateway to central Norway, bringing cargo closer to its final destination in the northern half of the country without long road legs.

We also operate with other Norwegian points: Oslo (airport OSL) · Kristiansand · Drammen · Larvik

Transit times and transport modes

Sea · 35–45 days

The most cost-effective option. FCL (full container) or LCL (groupage) depending on your volume, with transhipment at a major northern European hub (Rotterdam or Hamburg) and a feeder or road link to the Norwegian port.

Air · 6–9 days

For urgent or high-value cargo, via Oslo (OSL). Fast and tracked in real time.

Rail + sea · ask us

The China–Europe train reaches a major terminal on the continent and links by sea or road to Norway. An alternative for certain cases; ask us about availability and timing for your route.

Customs and taxes when importing into Norway

We take care of clearance. Norway is part of the European Economic Area (EEA) and EFTA, but it is not in the EU customs union: it has its own customs (Tolletaten) and its own tariff (Tolltariffen), distinct from the EU's. To import, a declaration is filed with Norwegian customs and the relevant duty and import VAT (MVA), at 25% standard —one of the highest in Europe—, are settled. Note that Norway applies import VAT with no exemption thresholds. We help with tariff classification and coordinate clearance with a Norwegian customs agent, so your cargo enters without surprises.

How it works, step by step

  1. We collect at the factory in China and review the paperwork.
  2. Export clearance at origin and loading via the best Chinese port.
  3. International transport (sea or air) with tracking.
  4. Import clearance in Norway: duty, VAT and formalities with Norwegian customs.
  5. Final delivery to your warehouse or address, anywhere in Norway.
