    I'm looking at getting something delivered from Norway. It's a 2nd hand guitar worth a few hundred quid. Norway aren't in the EU, so will I have to pay customs on it when it's coming in? Customs can be expensive and it will really increase the cost of this for me if I have to pay the extra charges.
    I did a quick search and couldn't find a definitive answer and I wasn't sure which forum to put it in so I picked here.

    You are liable to pay VAT on it as its outside the EU and duty if valued above €150 which I presume it is. VAT is also applied to the postage costs.

    Thanks, I know the charges I'll have to pay as I've paid them importing music equipment from the US before. I was kind of hoping that Norway might be different de to it's location in Europe.
