I usually physically transport gifts to people in Norway myself, while I more commonly mail gifts from the US to people in Sweden. IIRC from my contacts at local staff assigned to Embassies in Oslo, it works in much the same way with Norway's Toll/Customs but was something like 1000NOK per specified good for specified recipient even if the packed and labeled gifts are bundled in a single container.

http://www.posten.no/en/products-and...ustoms/customs may have some indicators about what to look for and how things are calculated. I hope this helps.

Norway's Toll probably has a phone number you can call to ask about this specific matter. They even respond to email quite often: http://www.toll.no/templates_TAD/Art...epslanguage=no

Google translate this http://toll.no/templates_TAD/Topic.a...epslanguage=no

No payment for a shipment with several packages of less than 1000NOK to different persons.

Also note that new items above the price will typically loose value if original wrapping etc is removed, making it second hand value.
