Jet Worldwide helps Norwegian businesses and global companies efficiently ship goods to Canada. Whether you’re sending e-commerce parcels, B2B cargo, or container loads, this guide explains the best options, costs, and customs procedures for shipping from Norway to Canada.
Businesses can choose between courier services (fastest), air cargo (balanced), and ocean freight (most economical). Below is a comparison to help you choose:
| Mode | Transit Time | Best For | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS) | 2–5 days | Small parcels, e-commerce | High ($$$) |
| Air Cargo | 5–10 days | Commercial shipments 100kg+ | Medium ($$) |
| Ocean Freight | 30–60 days | Full containers, bulk cargo | Low ($) |
Most shipments to Canada are subject to duty and taxes. Goods of Norwegian origin may qualify for duty-free status under the EFTA free trade agreement. Shipments under CAD $3,300 can often be cleared using the Courier Low-Value Shipment (CLVS) process.

All exports from Norway must be declared to Norwegian Customs. Most forwarders use the TVINN system for electronic clearance.
For small packages, postal services are cheapest. For larger shipments, air cargo may be more cost-effective than ocean for loads under 150kg.
Courier services take 2–5 days, air cargo 5–10 days, and ocean freight 30–60 days.
Many goods of Norwegian origin qualify for duty-free treatment under EFTA, but importers must provide proof of origin.
