OFF TOPIC:

Will they slap on import taxes and VAT and such on oldish secondhand gear like the NM-1? I don´t think it works like that in Norway.

Second hand goods have duty to be paid when importing into the EU

[noodulator]

well, it depends on who/where/when but in general the answer is yes.
and you also have to pay import taxes on s+h.

are you sure it's different in norway?


best regards

Actually, I´m not sure, but so far I´ve never paid anything of the sort on older secondhand stuff. They´ve almost literally been throwing me out of the customs office several times when I´ve tried to make sure if this is correct or not.
That said, Norway is not a member of the EU.

A friend of mine ordered a viola da gamba from overseas. She got a call that she had to go to Kennedy Airport to pick it up from Customs. The conversation went something like this:

--What is this?

--It's a viola da gamba.

--What's that?

--A musical instrument. It was very popular during the 18th century, but is not widely used today.

--So it's an antique?

--No, it was built recently; it is a copy of an old instrument.

--But you said it was popular during the 18th century.

--Yes, this kind of instrument was popular during the 18th century. But this particular instrument was not around then.

--If it was popular during the 18th century, it must be an antique.

--No, it's a copy.

--Look, I'm losing patience here. I am going to ask you one more time. There is no import duty on antiques. Is this instrument an antique?

--Whatever you say, sir.

I'll sell you mine but I'm not in the EU. Your money is worth way more than mine though, so it might make up for it. Let me know.
