HI,
I'm trying to find out the excat laws and regulations for importing a vehicle (Tesla of course) to a EU state from Norway.
As Norway is not part of the EU, but still part of the EFTA (European Free Trade Ascosiation), I'm to say the mildest a bit confused.
The general rule I've found is that a vehicle manufactured outside of the EU has to pay 10% import tax into the EU. But if this is still valid for EFTA countries, I'm not entirly sure of???
Has anyone experience of this (until now rare) export/import?
Normally it has been the other way around.
If there are laws/regulations that favour used cars as opposed to brand new ones, I would think it would be of interest EU citizens as well.
The reason for this is:
1) low prizes in Norway d/t no VAT on new EV (so far, maybe not for too long)
2) because of #1), the market for used Tesla's are bigger in Norway (?)
3) marked for used Tesla's in the EU may be limited (so far).
I've tried to Google a bit, but have reached no firm conclusion. A quick google search gave me these links:

I'd appreciate if anyone can show to some links of official documentation regarding the matter, or if there are certain rules to certain countries withing the EU?
