It outlines Norway’s import requirements for food and agricultural products. While not a member of the European Union (but associated with the EU through its membership in the European Economic Area), this report lists the Norwegian import regulations and standards that are not harmonized with the EU or where Norway varies from the EU. The report aims to assist U.S. exporters who wish to export to Norway by providing information on labeling, packaging, permitted ingredients, and other relevant regulations and standards. It also provides contact information of the Norwegian government authorities.
