VOEC number

VOEC (VAT On E-Commerce) number is a tax identifier used in Norway for collecting and reporting VAT on low-value goods sold from foreign sellers to Norwegian consumers.

The VOEC scheme applies to business-to-consumer (B2C) sales where:

  • The buyer is located in Norway
  • The seller is based outside Norway
  • The value of each shipment is under NOK 3,000 (approx. €250)

When your business is registered in the VOEC system, VAT is collected at checkout and reported to the Norwegian Tax Administration. This allows faster and simpler customs clearance, as the buyer won’t be charged VAT or handling fees upon import.

If you’re using VOEC, make sure to:

  • Include your VOEC number in the customs declaration
  • Use eligible shipping services that support VOEC processing

In Packrooster, you can enter your VOEC number so it’s automatically included in electronic customs documents for shipments to Norway. You can type in your VOEC number in Packrooster Shipping —> General settings —> Shipping locations
