Importing Luxury Car Regulations
Summary
Importing a car to Norway requires compliance with strict regulations, including paying customs duties and VAT, even if previously paid in another country. Failure to declare and pay these fees can result in legal action, fines, and vehicle seizure. Norwegian insurance companies may offer temporary coverage for unregistered cars. Driving a street illegal car can lead to fines, vehicle impoundment, license points, and driving bans. Register with Norwegian Customs, declare the car, and pay necessary fees to avoid penalties.Full Conversation
It is not a legal *issue* per say, rather a hypothetical scenario I seek clarification in.
Hey ****! Sure, I'm happy to help with your hypothetical scenario. What's on your mind?
If I import a luxury car, say a Ford GT *, to a country like Switzerland, to avoid high fees from toll customs and VAT. Then I drive the car home after the short trip to Switzerland, which only had the focus of collecting the car, to Norway. Could I then face legal action, fines or a penalty-fee for evading Norway's much higher toll and VAT rates?
****, in Norway, importing a car involves strict regulations. If you bring a car from another country without declaring it and paying the necessary toll customs and VAT, it's considered smuggling. You could face legal action, fines, and possibly seizure of the vehicle.

What would the customs duty be

But I already paid for these in Switzerland, do I still need to pay for them when returning home to Norway? Could it not have merely been seen as a vacation of sorts? If I need to pay, how so?
****, even if you've paid customs and VAT in Switzerland, you still need to pay Norwegian customs duties and VAT when bringing the car into Norway. Norway considers this a new import.

If I am in Switzerland and call to a Norwegian insurance company, will they be able to legally insure the car while I am still abroad, despite not having Norwegian license plates on the car?
****, it's possible to insure a car with a Norwegian insurance company while you're abroad, but there are some conditions:
- The insurance company may require the car to be registered in Norway or confirm that it will be soon.
- Temporary insurance might be available until the car is registered in Norway.

Hva er sjablongsatsene i norge?
****, sjablongsatsene (standardfradrag) i Norge varierer etter hva slags utgifter eller inntekter du refererer til. For eksempel, sjablongsatsen for pendlerfradrag avhenger av avstanden mellom hjemmet og arbeidsplassen.
Kunne du spesifisere hvilken type sjablongsats du er interessert i?
