How car imports work

Four steps from US dealer to Norwegian license plates

You do due diligence and pick the car. We do the rest.

1 · Check the VIN

Paste any US VIN on our free VIN check — get make, model, year, engine, and every open NHTSA recall in seconds. Optional $29 upgrade for the full history report: title status, salvage, theft, accidents, ownership chain.

2 · Price the landed cost

Our calculator runs the full Norwegian import math — MVA, engangsavgift, CO2-avgift, bruksfradrag, klimagassavgift, refrigerant, pickup, and registration. Every rate cross-checked against Skatteetaten and Lovdata.

3 · Request a firm quote

When you’re ready to commit, send us the VIN + listing URL via firm quote request. We re-run everything ourselves, add a Statens vegvesen type-approval check, and lock the price within one business day.

4 · We ship & register

US dealer pickup, RoRo shipping from Miami or East Coast, customs entry at Oslo, engangsavgift + MVA prepaid to Skatteetaten, and Statens vegvesen registration. You get the keys and skiltet — no paperwork you have to touch.

Why NorShip

Built for Norwegians importing American cars

The math is upfront

Every fee shown before you commit. Our calculator uses live Norges Bank FX, the current-year Skatteetaten satser, and the exact Lovdata bruksfradrag table. No surprise 60 000 NOK engangsavgift at the port.

VIN due-diligence built in

Free NHTSA decode + recall lookup on every quote. Optional $29 vehicle history — same NMVTIS data Carfax uses — catches salvage titles, theft records, odometer rollback, and auction resale before you wire funds.

Statens vegvesen handled

We file the type-approval, prepay engangsavgift + MVA to Skatteetaten, and register the vehicle with Statens vegvesen. You collect a road-legal car with Norwegian plates — no queueing at trafikkstasjonen.

RoRo ships from Miami

Roll-on/roll-off shipping via Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Höegh Autoliners from Miami and Baltimore. Enclosed containers available for high-value vehicles. Fully insured door-to-port and port-to-port.

EV import specialty

Norway’s EV tax breaks make Lightning, Escalade IQ, and Model Y dramatically cheaper landed than the same car bought new in Norway — when one’s even available. We know the math and the models.

Norwegian-first

Norwegian customer support, communication in NOK alongside USD, and a Statens vegvesen review on every firm quote. We know the difference between engangsavgift and vrakpantavgift, and we speak your language.

Two checks before you buy

One’s about the vehicle. One’s about the money. Both free to start.

Common questions

The short answers

How much does importing actually cost?

For a 2024 F-150 Lightning bought at $33,999 in the US and delivered to Bergen: roughly kr 466,000 all-in. That’s a Norwegian dealer price of kr 550,000+ if you can even find one. Our calculator gives you the exact figure for any vehicle — MVA, engangsavgift, CO2-avgift, bruksfradrag, and NorShip service fee all included.

Which cars are worth importing?

Two clear categories: modern EVs (F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T, Tesla pickups, Lucid) where Norway’s zero-emission tax exemptions flip the math heavily in the buyer’s favor; and American classics (Mustangs, Chargers, Camaros, F-Series, Broncos) that either never came to Norway or did at 3× the US price. Our calculator will tell you.

Do I need to worry about salvage titles or accident history?

Yes — this is the single biggest risk on any US import. Our free VIN check catches open safety recalls; the $29 upgrade pulls the full NMVTIS-sourced history (title branding, theft records, odometer rollback, accident reports, auction sales). Same data Carfax uses. Order it before wiring money.

How long does the whole process take?

US-side pickup + document collection: 1–2 weeks. RoRo shipping Miami → Oslo: 4–6 weeks (Baltimore route slightly faster). Norwegian customs, MVA + engangsavgift, and Statens vegvesen registration: 2–3 weeks after arrival. Total door-to-Norwegian-plates: roughly 8–11 weeks from wire transfer.

What about my Class B licence — can I drive a big Escalade?

Depends on curb weight. Norwegian Class B tops out at 3 500 kg GVWR (rising to 4 250 kg for EV/hydrogen from Nov 2027 for holders of 2+ years). A Cadillac Escalade IQ weighs 4 103 kg curb — over the current limit and only barely under the 2027 EV allowance with almost no cargo capacity. Our calculator flags the licence issue automatically.
