Does sending cd abroad need customs declaration?

If and when they opened your item, they would then assess the value, and if it's under a certain amount - around 15 quid, there would be no duty but because you missed the CN22, they could choose to return it back to you.

See, each country will have it's own import value. £15 is not standard.

You need to be more accurate when posting generalised comments.
Otherwise you will be corrected.

No country has a value 'around' £15, it is always a 'specific' amount.

IMHE (and I do export but mostly to Canada and Aus) there will be no problem with missing any customs label, but there will be a delay.

"Customs duties
Customs duties (Norwegian: toll) shall be paid upon importation of goods. The "ordinary" rate of the Customs Tariffs applies for goods imported from countries with whom Norway has not entered into a free trade agreement (FTA), and for goods imported from a FTA-party, but not satisfying by the conditions for preferential tariff treatment as set out in these agreements. All products originating in the Least Developed Countries are granted duty-free treatment[23]
The customs duties on agricultural products is an important part of the overall support for Norwegian agriculture. Of manufacturing goods only some clothing and textiles are currently subject to customs duties."

My original post explains - the letter/package didnt have customs form because PO didnt tell me I needed it, either they didnt hear me properly or they thought Norway was in the EU. I only posted it this afternoon

Don't worry about it.

If you don't have any tracking, then you can't see where the parcel is. So assume it will get there unless you hear otherwise.

If you had a return address (your address) on the label, then the parcel will make its way back to you (at worst). At best it will be delivered a few days late. Norway are efficient. Fingers crossed. But don't worry and DON'T chase or worry the buyer.

But I happen to send stuff every week to Norway, and it is "around" 15 quid last time I checked. The value isn't in pounds stirling so it fluctuates all the time. Jeez, what is it with you guys? The poster has sent a CD. He is not an exporter. The CD cost £5. When they assess the value, it will probably be under 15 quid I would say, wouldn't you. Must be something in the air tonight.

I was trying to explain to you why you were having issues. Nothing in the air. Just posts which are not accurate or helpful to others.

No country will list an import value of 'around' anything. Nor should anyone send from the UK list a value of 'around' GBP anything.

The import taxes, if applicable are not really any concern to the seller, but the value of that item should be accurately recorded, no 'around' values should be used.

We don't know what CD the sender has posted, but that does not alter the need for accurate advice.

Either give it or don't.

I already contacted him unfortuntaely, I get anxious about not following rules etc . If it's of relevance the cd was sold through Amazon Marketplace for £5.25 which I or the buyer can obviously prove if need be

As I said, try not to worry about it. It won't necessarily result in the parcel being sent back, delayed perhaps yes, but even then, it will be evident what it is, so it should slip through easily.

Don't check with your buyer, leave it for them to let you know of any problems, but if you can bear to come back here if you need help, then do. :T

You seem to miss the point.

The customs form is for the sender to complete in THEIR currency. The import tax is for the buyer to worry about.

As I said, no country will have 'around' as a figure. You as the sender simply mark the value of the parcel in YOUR currency, the exact value, not the 'around' value.

This is tiresome for others the op and me now. You have been given the info you need, but if you are stuck with your weekly export, then start your own thread.

But the whole point of the CN22 is to see if import duties are due. I was explaining the impact of not putting a CN22 on the parcel. The Customs inspectors in Norway will be interested in the value of the item which they will have to assess because the CN22 is missing. The figure they will use to assess duty is their limit of 200 kroner. You see?
