International Removals from Spain to Norway
Removals from Spain to Norway enter a non-EU customs area. Norwegian customs waives duty on moving goods on conditions, but not on a car.
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
What is different about moving from Spain to Norway?
Norway is not in the EU customs union, so belongings from Spain are declared to Norwegian customs, Tolletaten, when they arrive. Most household goods can come in free of duty and VAT if you qualify as a mover, but a car is treated differently and a few kinds of goods are not exempt.
Leaving from an island, Ceuta or Melilla? The Spain territory overview shows how Spanish tax treatment there differs from the mainland.
When is a Norwegian move duty-free?
Tolletaten’s page on moving goods to Norway (opens in a new window) (updated 27 November 2025) says the exemption applies if you have lived abroad continuously for at least one year, have owned and used the items there and mean to keep using them in Norway. The value of the goods does not affect the exemption, and VAT is waived as well.
The goods must come in within a reasonable time, and no later than one year after you move. A boat, or goods imported more than a year after moving, needs a separate application.
Not exempt: cars and other motor vehicles, alcohol and tobacco, and professional equipment and food, which are declared for release into free circulation. Weapons need a police permit, plants, animals and some other goods have their own rules, and cash above NOK 25,000 must be declared.
What do you hand over at the border?
The page says to complete the moving goods declaration, form RD0030, and present it at the red channel on arrival. A representative can present it with your signed copy and a power of attorney, and goods cannot be cleared until the form is submitted and correctly completed.
You also need a Norwegian ID number, or a TRK number from Tolletaten if you do not have one. Ask your removal company who presents the form for your load and when.
What does Spain ask before a car leaves for Norway?
Under the DGT’s rules for exporting a vehicle (opens in a new window) (no date shown), the baja definitiva is requested first. For a non-EU destination such as Norway, a valid ITV is needed once the car is over four years old.
Two things block it: a seal on the car, and a financing charge that is neither cleared in the movable property register nor covered by the lender’s consent. Until the car is registered abroad it needs temporary green plates, or it travels by tow truck or other transport.
Spanish export formalities for household goods leaving the EU are not set out on any official page we found. Your removal company can say what is filed, and by whom.
