When you are eligible to apply for a refund, you will find the most common reasons here:
∙You have paid taxes on an item you think should have been tax-free, e.g. on a gift consignment with a value of less than NOK 1,000.
- You have returned an item to the seller and received a free replacement item for which you have paid import duties. In this case you can apply the customs for a refund of the customs fees (tollavgifter), while you must apply the Tax Administration for a refund of the VAT.
- You have returned an item and received the purchase price back from the seller. You can then apply to us for a refund of the customs fees, while you must apply to the Tax Administration for a refund of the VAT.
- You have sent an item abroad to be repaired, but had to pay taxes on the item's full value when it was returned to you.
- The freight forwarder has used the wrong price. This can be a typo in the invoice from the seller (wrong currency) or a wrong invoice.
- The freight forwarder has cleared the consignment several times.
