tarifferbok

The term *tarifferbok* is a specialized concept primarily used in the context of Norwegian and Scandinavian trade and customs regulations. It refers to a type of customs declaration form or procedure designed for the importation of goods into Norway. The term combines the words *toll* (customs) and *erklæring* (declaration), with *bok* meaning "book" or "form," indicating its role as a formal document.

Tarifferbok is typically required when importing goods into Norway, particularly for businesses or individuals moving significant quantities of merchandise. The form ensures compliance with Norwegian customs laws, including duties, taxes, and trade restrictions. It may include details such as the nature of the goods, their value, origin, and any applicable tariffs or exemptions.

The process of using a tarifferbok involves submitting accurate and detailed information to Norwegian customs authorities. Failure to comply with the requirements may result in delays, fines, or confiscation of goods. The form is part of Norway’s broader customs system, which aligns with European Union (EU) regulations due to Norway’s participation in the European Economic Area (EEA).

While the term *tarifferbok* is most commonly associated with Norwegian customs, similar concepts exist in other countries under different names, such as customs declarations or import manifests. Its purpose remains consistent: to facilitate smooth and legally compliant trade while ensuring revenue collection and regulatory adherence.
