Taylors Courier Service runs a full artwork shipping service for artwork shipping bound for Norway. We arrive with the materials, pack on site, and take the goods away the same visit.
Routing runs via Eurotunnel or North Sea ferry, then Germany, Denmark and into Norway via Sweden, then the E6 corridor, with ferry legs for west-coast addresses. Transit is typically 4–6 days from mainland Great Britain, and roughly 1,200 road miles from London to Oslo.
Customs paperwork for Norway is covered further down this page.

How we pack for the Norway route
The crossing matters. Eurotunnel or North Sea ferry, then Germany, Denmark and into Norway via Sweden means the load is restrained for road and sea movement, and anything moisture sensitive gets a barrier layer before it is wrapped.
- Glass taped and faced, corners protected, surface never compressed
- Foam-lined travel frames or cases for valuable works
- Work carried and loaded upright, never flat-stacked
- Moisture barrier applied for ferry and winter routes

Customs and documentation for Norway
Norway is outside the EU, so a full Norwegian import declaration is required and duty and VAT are assessed on entry. Documentation must be precise.
We prepare the transport documentation and an itemised, valued packing list to travel with the load. Where formal clearance is required we work alongside your broker rather than claiming to replace one.
Regions we deliver into
We deliver across Norway, including Oslo, Viken, Vestland, Rogaland and Trøndelag.

Frequently asked questions
How long does artwork shipping to Norway take?
Transit is typically 4–6 days, routing via Eurotunnel or North Sea ferry, then Germany, Denmark and into Norway via Sweden. Economy parcel and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We give you a band rather than a promise, and we tell you if your deadline is not realistic before you book.
What does it cost to ship to Norway?
Guide prices for this service start at Instant Quote. Crated, high-value, oversized or time-critical consignments priced on the specifics. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
Do I need customs paperwork for Norway?
Yes, you should plan for it. Norway is outside the EU, so a full Norwegian import declaration is required and duty and VAT are assessed on entry. Documentation must be precise. We prepare the packing list and transport documents; formal clearance is confirmed at quotation.
Do you build travel frames or cases?
For valuable or repeatedly-travelled work, yes — a reusable case is often cheaper over two or three movements than repeated soft packing. For a single journey we usually specify foam-lined protection instead.
Can you deliver to a gallery on an install date?
Yes. Tell us the install window when you request a quote and we will plan the crossing and driver hours around it rather than around ours.
