Shipping from China to Norway
Does Taobao ship to Norway?
Norway is outside the EU and has its own VAT rules for online purchases. Here is how Taobao orders reach Norway and what to expect at import.
Short answer
No. Taobao's official international shipping does not cover Norway, and most sellers ship only within China. Use an agent with a warehouse in China.
With us: send the links, we buy and inspect the items, combine them and ship to Norway in about 9–18 days after your parcel leaves our warehouse.
Shipping lines to Norway
We weigh your packed parcel and send you the options that accept your items. Times are counted from our warehouse in China and are typical, not guaranteed.
| Line | Typical time | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Express courier (DHL, UPS, FedEx) | 5–10 days | Urgent parcels; VAT billed by the courier |
| Standard line | 10–20 days | Clothes, shoes and accessories |
Price depends on weight and size: carriers charge the higher of the real weight and the volume weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 5000 for most express lines). How shipping is priced.
Import duties and taxes in Norway
| VAT | 25% on most goods (15% on food), on all purchases from abroad |
| Customs duty | Applies to clothing and food; rate by product and origin |
| Carrier fee | Posten or the courier charges a customs handling fee |
Shops registered in Norway's VOEC scheme charge VAT at checkout; an agent shipment is cleared at import instead, so VAT and the carrier fee are paid on arrival unless the line includes them.
Rules checked November 2026. Tax rules change; we confirm the current treatment in every shipping quote. Sources: Norwegian Customs: shops not in the VOEC scheme, overview of Taobao's official shipping coverage.
Tips for buyers in Norway
- Clothing carries customs duty in Norway on top of VAT, so ask for an estimate before ordering a large clothing haul.
- Combine everything into one parcel to pay the handling fee once.
