Wholesale — Europe
Wholesale Kids Clothes for Norway Buyers — Direct from Turkey
Norway sits outside the EU customs union, so the paperwork differs from the rest of Scandinavia: Turkish-origin apparel enters under the EFTA-Turkey free trade agreement with an EUR.1 movement certificate rather than an A.TR. That single document difference is where most first-time Norwegian imports go wrong, so we prepare it as standard. Beyond documentation, the Norwegian market's needs are practical — heavier weights, thermal layering, and durable outerwear for a climate where children spend genuine time outdoors. We steer Norwegian buyers to 240gsm brushed cotton, wool-blend knitwear and lined outerwear rather than the lightweight jersey that dominates Mediterranean orders.
Why Turkey
Why Norway importers source from Turkey
- EFTA-Turkey free trade agreement gives preferential duty with an EUR.1 certificate
- Heavier 240gsm brushed cotton and wool-blend knitwear for Nordic conditions
- Lined outerwear and thermal layering pieces produced to order
- GOTS organic programmes with mill-level traceability
- EUR.1 documentation prepared in-house — the most common Norwegian import error avoided
Shipping & logistics
Delivery to Norway
Transit time
8-12 days (road freight), 3-5 days (air express)
Available methods
- Road freight through Europe with EUR.1 certificate
- Sea freight to Oslo for pallet volumes
- Air express to OSL
Typical cost
Norwegian road freight includes a ferry or long-haul surcharge; consolidating a full season order into one shipment materially reduces cost per piece
Customs
Norway is outside the EU customs union, so Turkish goods travel under the EFTA-Turkey FTA with an EUR.1 certificate for preferential duty. Norwegian MVA (25%) is charged at import; customs clearance is handled by your forwarder or by us under a DDP quote.

Questions
Frequently asked
Does Norway charge duty on Turkish children's clothing?+
Under the EFTA-Turkey free trade agreement, qualifying Turkish-origin apparel receives preferential treatment when shipped with an EUR.1 movement certificate, which we issue. Norwegian MVA at 25% still applies at import.
Why do I need EUR.1 and not A.TR?+
A.TR only covers movement within the EU-Turkey customs union. Norway is in EFTA, not the EU, so the correct document is EUR.1. Shipping with the wrong certificate is the most common cause of unexpected duty bills.
Can you produce warmer garments for Norwegian winters?+
Yes — 240gsm brushed cotton, wool-blend knitwear, fleece-lined hoodies and padded outerwear are all produced. Outerwear minimums are 100 pcs per style due to trim sourcing.
How long does delivery take to Oslo?+
Road freight runs 8-12 days; air express delivers in 3-5 days for urgent restocks. Sea freight to Oslo is economical only above two pallets.
Do you work with small Norwegian online brands?+
Yes. Many Norwegian clients are single-founder online brands ordering 200-400 pieces per season with private-label neck labels.
