As a member of EFTA, Norway is one of the main importing/exporting agents and economic partners of the EU. The Nordic country has excellent geographical conditions for the flow of goods, due to its easy access to the sea, modern ports and a very well-connected transportation system. Despite not being part of the Euro Zone, the Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) between the two trading blocks facilitate partnerships for economic, social and geopolitical development between the parties.

Although the economic agreements facilitate the free movement of goods between EFTA and EU members, a series of compliance requirements are attached to the import and export processes of goods in the region. Check below how our solution will make it easier for Norwegian and EU traders to remain compliant and improve cross-border activities.
