VerifiedGet matched with vetted international mover We match you with only accredited partner for your route: fewer calls, less stress, and a clearer quote.
Removals to Norway from Sweden are the easiest of all. The two countries share a long land border. There is no ferry and no sea crossing. A lorry simply drives over the border. One matched partner mover handles collection, the short journey, customs and delivery.
Here is the catch many people miss. Sweden is in the EU and Norway is not. So even though it is just a drive over the border, your goods still clear customs. It is a quick step, and the mover handles it. Most people moving for good pay no duty or VAT under Transfer of Residence relief.
Sweden and Norway share one of the longest land borders in Europe. So the route is simple. The lorry drives from your Swedish city to the border, then on to your Norwegian address. From Gothenburg to Oslo is a short hop over the Svinesund crossing.
There are many crossing points along the border. Svinesund on the E6 is the busiest, near the coast. Others, like Magnor, sit closer to Oslo from the east. The mover picks the crossing that suits your route.
Because the journey is short, transit is quick. A move from southern Sweden to Oslo can be done in a day or two, plus the customs step.
A lorry just for your move, door to door. Best for a 2-bedroom home or larger. Your goods stay on one vehicle. The customs paper travels with them.
Your goods share space with other loads going to Norway. The cheapest choice for a studio, a one-bed flat or a few rooms. It takes longer due to consolidation stops.
Container shipping to Norway. Good for big loads. The mover advises whether road or sea suits your move better.
Specialist items like pianos, fine art and antiques get proper crating. Tell the partner mover about them when they call.
Collection covers the whole of Sweden. That includes Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmo, Uppsala and Vasteras. Gothenburg is closest to Oslo, so those moves are very quick. The mover sends the right vehicle for your access.
Even a short move needs the customs paperwork. The mover prepares it before you set off. So your goods are not held up at the border. Tell them your Swedish and Norwegian addresses and they plan the crossing.
This is the part that surprises people. Sweden is in the EU customs union. Norway is not. So even a short drive over the land border means a customs step. Many assume there is no customs between two Nordic neighbours, but there is. The good news is the mover handles it, and it is quick.
Do not worry about the forms. The partner mover prepares them. Most people moving for good pay no duty or VAT into Norway. That is thanks to Transfer of Residence relief, called toll- og avgiftsfritak ved innflytting. You must have lived outside Norway for at least 12 months. You must have owned and used the goods during that time. You must import them within one year.
Norwegian VAT (MVA) is 25%, so the relief saves a lot. To declare your goods you need a Norwegian ID number. That is a D-number or a personnummer. If you have neither yet, Customs can issue a TRK-number. Cars, food, alcohol, tobacco and work tools are not covered by the relief. They are handled on their own.
Customs facts checked against Tolletaten (toll.no). Rules can change, so check before you move.
Norway uses the Norwegian krone. Sweden uses the Swedish krona. They sound alike, but they are different currencies. Norway is the dearer of the two. You may need to send money for a deposit, rent or a home. Currency exchange comes with the service, through our trusted partners.

Very little time, because the countries share a border. A move from Gothenburg to Oslo can take a day or two. From Stockholm or Malmo it is a bit longer. The customs step adds a little. The matched mover confirms the timing for your route.
Yes, and this surprises people. Sweden is in the EU customs union and Norway is not. So your goods clear customs at the border, even though it is just a land crossing between Nordic neighbours. The mover prepares the paperwork, so the crossing stays quick.
Gothenburg to Oslo over the Svinesund crossing is one of the shortest. The two countries share a long land border with many crossing points. Svinesund on the E6 is the busiest. The mover picks the crossing that suits your start and end points.
Because the route is short, this is one of the cheaper corridors. A small groupage load can start from a few hundred pounds. A full house by dedicated vehicle is more. The short distance keeps costs down. The matched mover confirms the real figure.
Yes. The distance does not change the rule. Norway is outside the EU customs union, so goods are declared at the border. The mover does the paperwork for you. Most people moving for good pay no duty or VAT under Transfer of Residence relief.
