azzyrazzy Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'd love to bring it back to Norway but with the norwegian 25% duty, it will be 937 GBP not counting shipping (which also is duty on) and duty handling. Bump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffo Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 That depends, based on that being the country of origin and that I have the import proof there should be no import duty, postage was £55 based on a declared value of £350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
