Norway sits outside the EU with much lower alcohol limits, which is the entire reason the border shops at Svinesund exist.
- The quota is 1 litre of spirits, 1.5 litres of wine and 2 litres of beer, with swaps allowed - the spirits litre can become 1.5 litres more wine, and the wine can become beer.
- Tobacco is 200 cigarettes or 250 g, and you must be 18 for the tobacco and the wine and 20 for the spirits.
- The value limit for other goods depends on how long you were away - the higher figure applies after 24 hours abroad, the lower one to a day trip.
- Alcohol is otherwise sold only through Vinmonopolet, at prices that make the quota worth using and the border shops worth the drive.
- NOK 100,000 or more must be declared, counting foreign currency at its Norwegian value.
- Meat, cheese and pet food from outside the EEA are restricted, and the quota on food from within it is by weight.
