Q:

I think my consignment is exempt from customs clearance because today’s exchange rate at the bank indicates that the consignment is worth less than NOK 200. Why has the Post Office used a different exchange rate that pushes the value up to over NOK 200?

For all customs clearance, Norwegian Customs uses a separate exchange rate (conversion rate) which is calculated on the basis of the currency exchange rate at Norges Bank. This conversion rate is valid for one week at a time and is generally published on the Thursday of the preceding week. This is because importers have to be able to predict what fees they will have to pay in duty and charges. To check what the customs clearance charge will be for your consignment, therefore, you have to monitor the Norwegian Customs conversion rates, which can be found at www.toll.no.  more
