🌍 Tax-Free Shopping
Reclaim up to 25% VAT on purchases in Norway as a non-EU visitor
✅ Who qualifies?
You live permanently outside Norway, are visiting as a cruise passenger or tourist, and are taking the goods home with you.
📋 Minimum amount
Minimum NOK 315 per store (food and non-food). Must be in one transaction in one store.
How to claim — step by step
1. Look for the Tax Free logo
Most stores in Sandens, Markens gate and Sørlandssenteret participate in the scheme.
2. Ask for a tax-free form
Show your passport at the register. The form shows your refund — typically 11–19% of purchase price.
3. ⚠️ Cruise passenger note
As a cruise passenger, you cannot get the customs stamp while still in Norway. Most cruise lines process refunds via the ship or at your home port — ask your cruise line before you shop.
4. Collect your refund
Via Global Blue or Planet refund points at major airports, or through your cruise line on disembarkation day.
