Shipping Services in Norway: What methods are used?
You have several different options when transporting to Norway. Each has its own advantages.
Norway Shipping by Road
Road transport is the most common and reliable method in the Norwegian transport sector. Why? - Mm-hmm. Because we offer door-to-door service and benefit from the advanced infrastructure of Avrupa-. As Fatih Group Logistics, we organize regular flights from Turkey to Norway with our latest model Mercedes TIR fleet.
The route usually runs through Europe - Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, Denmark and finally Norway. Experience is very important on this route. Each country has its own transit rules, break regulations, tolls. Our team knows this route very well with 18 years of experience. Which border crossing is faster, at which time there are ferry services, which roads are more convenient in Norway - we know all of them.
The road transport time from Turkey to Norway is usually between 12-16 days. Of course, this time can vary according to weather conditions and road conditions. Especially in winter, snowfall in Norway can be intense, which affects the time. But let's be clear: Planned work is our priority. With our GPS-tracked vehicles, you can see where your cargo is at any time.
A machine supplier customer recently got the equipment we sent for our dealer in -Oslo- just in time. Even in winter, there was no disruption, Fatih Group said it was really professional. This kind of feedback is what makes us the happiest. The biggest advantage in road transport is that we can offer flexible solutions for loads of different weights and volumes. Whether partial load or full vehicle - there is an option to suit every need.
Norway Shipping by Sea
The sea route is an economical option for large volumes of commercial loads. Norway's important ports such as Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger are modern and efficient facilities. Your cargo departing from Ambarlı or İzmir ports of Turkey reaches Norway in approximately 18-22 days.
FCL (full container) or LCL (partial load) options are available in sea transportation. Depending on the size of your cargo, we can determine the most suitable solution together. The sea route makes a lot of sense, especially for bulky products such as furniture, building materials, heavy machinery. It's cost-effective and less damaging to the environment. A furniture manufacturer customer sends containers to Oslo on a regular basis.-Thanks to the sea route, we can transport large orders economically, Fatih Grup-un says port coordination is excellent-.
Shipping to Norway by Airline
Do you have urgent shipments? The airline is for you. For Norwegian shipping air freight, delivery within 3-5 days is possible. Oslo Gardermoen Airport is one of the largest cargo hubs in Scandinavia.
The airline is particularly preferred for valuable cargo, electronic equipment, spare parts, medical supplies or time-critical shipments. The cost is higher than other methods, but the advantages it offers in terms of speed and safety compensate for this. As Fatih Group, we are able to offer competitive prices thanks to our agreements with leading air cargo companies.
Railway Transport
Rail is a thriving option, although it is not yet very common in the Norwegian shipping industry. Especially in countries with high environmental awareness such as Norway, sustainable transportation is gaining importance. Turkey-Europe railway connections are developing. As Fatih Group, we closely follow alternative transportation modes and offer our customers the latest options.
Shipping company in Norway: Fatih Group Logistics difference
Why should you choose Fatih Group Logistics for Norwegian shipping? Let's answer that question.
First of all, we know the geography of Europe very well. We have been actively working on this continent since 2006. We know Norway's strict customs legislation, special requirements as a non-EU country, Scandinavian business culture. Although Norway is not an EU member, it is a Schengen member, which facilitates some procedures but still requires special attention.

That's the value of experience.
Secondly, we have a comprehensive range of services. We offer road, sea, air, project transportation and customs consultancy - all of them.

Especially our customs consultancy service is very valuable - Norwegian customs is one of the most meticulous customs in Europe, but the process goes smoothly with our expert team.
Thirdly, we have reliable business partners in Norway. Thanks to our local agencies, your cargo is distributed quickly in the country, delivery is carried out without any problems.

In addition, we provide safe transportation with our latest model truck fleet, equipment suitable for cold weather conditions and experienced drivers.
Shipping Prices in Norway: Cost Analysis and Budget Planning
Norwegian shipping prices vary depending on many factors. It is not possible to give a uniform price because each post is different.
Among the main factors that determine the price comes the method of transportation - the airline is the most expensive, the sea route is the most economical, the road is located in the middle. The volume and weight of the load are inherently important; More products means more costs. Your point of departure also affects; Istanbul-dan, Ankara-dan or İzmir-dan? The place of delivery is also important - central cities like Oslo or remote areas in the north? The longer the distance, the higher the cost. Another factor affecting the emergency situation price - express service brings extra cost. Your choice of insurance (which we strongly recommend) and the season also reflects on the price - costs can increase slightly in winter due to harsh weather conditions.
Factors such as fuel prices, exchange rates, seasonal intensity can vary. Norway's high cost of living, in particular, is reflected in local distribution fees. We recommend that you contact us for the most up-to-date and accurate price. We're making a free offer.
In transportation to remote and difficult geographies such as Norway, the cheapest offer may not always be the best. Experience, reliability and timely delivery are very important. One of our customers got a cheaper offer from another company, but the load was delayed, the cold chain was broken, the products were damaged. When he came to us, he wished he had worked with you from the beginning. Quality and reliability are more important than price.
We know Norway's strict customs legislation, special requirements as a non-EU country, Scandinavian business culture. Although Norway is not an EU member, it is a Schengen member, which facilitates some procedures but still requires special attention.
What Products Can Be Shipped to Norway?
Sending commercial products to Norway is usually hassle-free, but there are some specific rules due to the fact that it is a non-EU country.
Commonly sent products include food products (beans, nuts, dried fruits, spices - there is demand for Turkish food), textile products (ready-to-wear, home textiles, carpets), furniture and decoration products, construction materials (marble, ceramics, building chemicals), machinery and equipment, automotive spare parts, electronic devices. The Turkish diaspora in Norway is also showing interest in Turkish products, especially in the demand for food and household products.
As for products that are restricted or require attention, very strict health certificates and analysis reports are required for food products - Norway is one of the strictest countries in Europe in this regard. There are special quarantine rules for plant and seed products, there are species with import bans. Very high taxes and special licenses are required for alcohol and tobacco products. Approval from the Norwegian Health Authority is required for medicines and medical devices. Hazardous materials have special transport conditions, detailed documents for chemicals are required. If you have any doubts about the product you will send, ask us. We've been doing this for years, we know Norwegian legislation.
Customs Procedures and Required Documents
Customs clearance is an important stage in the Norwegian shipping process. Since Norway is not a member of the EU, it has separate customs procedures, but being a Schengen member provides some convenience.
The basic customs documents are: Commercial invoice (invoice - should be very detailed, HS codes should be specified), paking list (what is in which parcel, net weight, gross weight, dimensions), certificate of origin (approved by the Turkish Chamber of Commerce-), EUR.1 circulation certificate (very important for customs tax reduction!), shipping certificate (CMR, bill of lading or airline certificate), and insurance certificate.
The EUR.1 certificate is particularly important. There is a free trade agreement between Turkey and EFTA countries (Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein). With EUR.1, customs duty can be zero or very low. You can pay high taxes without this document. We advise our customers to buy EUR.1.
Additional product-specific documents may also be required. Health certificate, analysis report, production certificate, halal certificate (if necessary) are required for food products. Electronic devices require CE certificate of conformity, technical documentation, user manual (Norwegian or English). MSDS certificate, safety data sheet, environmental compliance certificate can be requested for chemicals. Technical certificates, fire safety certificates may be required for construction materials.
As Fatih Group Logistics, our customs consultancy service is comprehensive. We can manage the whole process of obtaining EUR.1, preparing documents, issuing returns, calculating taxes -. Norwegian customs work meticulously, incomplete or inaccurate paperwork leads to serious delays. We're getting ahead of these problems. One of our customers had forgotten -EUR.1-, you reminded us, we were saved from paying thousands of dollars in taxes- he said. Professional support is like that.
Norway Shipping Times and Planning
Time management is very important in logistics. In transport to a remote country like Norway, planning is critical.
Norwegian shipping delivery times are as follows: It takes 12-16 days by road, 18-22 days by sea, 3-5 days by air. These periods cover the total time from the point of origin of the cargo in Turkey to the delivery address in Norway. Under normal circumstances, these periods are valid, but seasonal factors play an important role.
In the winter months (November-March), snowfall can be intense in Norway, especially in mountainous areas. This can extend delivery times by 2-3 days. We take such factors into account in advance and inform our customers. In addition, distribution is not carried out on weekends and holidays in Norway, which should be taken into account in planning.
In the summer months (June-August), things are moving faster. The roads are open, the weather conditions are good, the deliveries are smooth. But during the summer holidays, many businesses close in Norway, which should be taken into account.
One of our electronics supplier customers had to make an urgent shipment to his distributor in Oslo. It was winter, it was snowing. We set an alternative route and delivered it safely in 14 days. Our customer said -Thanks, you have succeeded even in difficult conditions. Experience and planning are the key to success.
Security and Tracking Systems
When it comes to Norwegian shipping, safety and tracking are very important. The long route, the crossing from different countries, the harsh weather conditions - these require extra precautions.
Fatih Group's security measures are comprehensive. We use GPS tracked vehicles, instant location information is shared with our customers.

Insurance for: Be safe on the long journey.
I have a clear recommendation on Norwegian shipping insurance: Definitely get it done. Long distance, crossing from different countries, harsh weather conditions - sending uninsured cargo is a big risk.
Insurance covers all risks that may be encountered on a long journey. Accidents, theft, damage, losses due to weather conditions, ferry accidents ⁇ all can be covered by insurance.
As Fatih Group, we offer comprehensive cargo insurance options with international validity. Road, sea, air - we want you to have insurance in every mode of transport.

Special Projects and Industrial Transportation
As Fatih Group Logistics, we are experts in project transportation as well as standard transportation. We carry special loads for infrastructure projects, marine platforms and renewable energy investments in Norway.
Project transportation requires special planning.
