asciwhite Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 I read in the news today that the Norwegian customs are allowed to hold back counterfeit products and notify the companies (Rolex. Omega and so on) What the hell!!! Is this something we should worry about? After the 26 this month they had a meeting where they went trough the new customs rules. Do you think our reps will be seized? I have 6 watches on the way at the moment this could be real bad if the customs have shaped up, and they are stoked to start searching our packages Usually they let all kinds of stuff sail straight through. I personally am getting a bit anxious You can get fined in Norway Kan stoppes i tollen Tollvesenet har nå blitt pålagt av namsretten å avdekke og holde tilbake varer som er i strid med immaterialrettigheter, altså piratkopier. Med immaterialrettigheter mens opphavsrett, rett til varemerke, mønster, patenter, planteforedlerrett eller rett til kretsmøstre for integrerte kretser, ifølge Tollvesenet. Tolloven kapittel 15 gir Tollvesenet mulighet på eget iniativ eller på vegne av rettighetshaver, å holde tilbake varer som mistenkes for å være piratkopier.
Agrippa Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 Can't see this having much of an impact, if any, right now. Like NORing says it'll require extra resources and customs is pretty well stretched to the limit as it is. The only danger I see is if customs should also be permitted to charge us a fee for the pleasure of having our watches confiscated, just as they already charge us a fee for calculating how much VAT we should pay. Basically - as long as there's no profit in it for them, nothing's likely to change. If they can make money off us, then it's time to start worrying.
space Posted February 9, 2010 Report Posted February 9, 2010 Typical... In Norwegian, since this is only interesting to Norwegians anyway Tror heller ikke det er noe kjempeproblem. De sjekker jo aldri pakker som er skrevet ned i verdi til under 200,- heller (kl

space Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 http://www.dinside.no/834952/jakter-paa-piratkopier In this article they say that importing fake goods is still legal for personal use. I think we're pretty much in the clear

Infernal Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 My soul gets cold when I get this message HATE it..... I dont speak norwegian, but I suppose that means that your package has been set for inspection and validation of authenticity right?
thogaa Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Please note that forum language is English - This topic is interesting for other scandinavian residents or suppliers Danish Customs are taking similar actions.

asciwhite Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Posted February 19, 2010 And I am Norwegian! Heart pounding In a black square depression Time stops An instinctive feeling of anxiety lurking. It goes tick tock. Sanity dissolves. set in check mate.. My words like weapons They penetrate. A silent scream hollows out my mind In bubbely despair you feel the breath play tricks as you inhale. in the power of the wind I float away
Bobbywaingro Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 You can always use a fellow forummember in sweden for dropshipping .....hoping that swedish customs are still a bit more relaxed
torjus Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 Andrew from Trusty Times uses a Toy to camouflage his shipments=) so i dont worry about the customs when ordering from him=) first when i got package, i belived it was a joke, but then i looked inside the toy, and there i found my beautiful watch=)

thogaa Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 Please guys! - This forum has 24.000 members. How many of us may be laywers, customs, representatives of the Swiss watch makers and so on. I don't think it is in anyones interest to disclose ways of shipping items to various countries.
