Customer’s Responsibility
When you place an order at Norwegian Candy Store, it is you as the importer (customer/recipient) who has responsibility to ensure that the product in your order can be legally imported into the destination country, before placing any orders. Norwegian Candy Store is an exporter from Norway.
Those receiving international shipments may encounter import taxes, fees, and customs duties, collectively referred to as Import Fees. These are imposed by the customs office at the shipping destination and can vary based on the customs regulations of that country. Factors influencing Import Fee calculations include:
- Product category and price
- Shipping costs and package weight
- Customs clearance channel
- Import taxes determined by custom duty amounts
Customs policies differ among countries, and some may exempt shipments below a certain value from Import Fees. To get detailed information, reach out to the customs office of your destination country/state.
To streamline the customs clearance process for our products, you’ll notice either Import Fees or Import Charges during checkout for eligible destinations.
Please be aware, if shipment is returned to us, due to customs regulations or failure to pay customs and duty, shipping to and from destination country is paid by customer and will be deducted from a potential refund of product value. Shipping is non-refundable.
Import Regulations
As the recipient, you are the importer of record and must adhere to all relevant laws and regulations of the destination country. Customs delays might impact the initially estimated delivery times.
Note: In certain countries or regions, customs offices may demand the importer of record to provide identification, such as a Passport, Personal number, or Tax ID, before releasing a shipment. Always write your telephone number and e-mail when ordering so that customs or transporter may get in touch with you promptly.
Seizure of Goods, Destruction of Goods, or Return of Goods
Seizure of Goods and Communication with Customs
If the customs authorities seize goods and ask the recipient for the necessary import documentation, the importer (recipient/customer) is responsible for promptly providing the correct information to the customs authorities. Norwegian Candy Store (exporter) is not responsible for importing the goods, and no refunds are available for seized goods.
Destruction of Goods
If customs destroys goods because the goods are not permitted for import, the importer (recipient/customer) must take full financial responsibility for this loss.
Norwegian Candy Store is a worldwide exporter and is not familiar with each country’s current import rules. This must therefore be checked by the importer (customer) BEFORE ordering. Norwegian Candy Store (exporter) is not responsible for importing the goods, and no refunds are available for destruction of goods by customs authorities.
Contact with DHL or Customs
If your shipment is stopped, on hold, or by any other reason is stopped, you must contact your local DHL department in your receiving country.
Return the Order
If the customs authorities reject the order and return it to the sender, we will reimburse you for the products that are in good condition – minus – the shipping costs to and from your destination.
Age Limits
To shop with us you must be at least 18 years of age. If a customer buys a product with an age limit, the customer must provide proof of age before the products are shipped, or to the delivery service upon delivery.
Errors with Orders
If there is anything wrong with your order before shipment, contact us immediately via telephone to our phone number found at the bottom of our website. For all other questions, contact us via email. You will receive confirmation regarding your order.
Read Product Descriptions and Ingredients
Always read the full description of the product before ordering. Also, check that the product and the order are correct according to your wishes. Double-check the ingredients before using the products if you have any known allergies or if you are serving the food to others who may have allergies. Norwegian Candy Store is not responsible for any damages that may occur.
We recommend using Google’s Translator app, which can translate the ingredient lists on the products using a smartphone camera. Search for the app in your app store.
High Temperatures – Heat Notice!
Do not order products that are sensitive to high or low temperatures if you live in a hot or cold location. Most products are meant to be stored at 18–22 degrees Celsius (68–71 Fahrenheit). Norwegian Candy Store is not responsible for products melted or otherwise damaged by heat or cold outside the stated temperature range.
If you buy a product that can be shipped at room temperature but otherwise needs refrigeration, such as brown cheese, mayonnaise, and cheese in a tube, cool products down completely before consuming and keep refrigerated.
Please do not have packages left outside your house – we cannot replace packages that are stolen or damaged due to being left without supervision. If you still wish to do so, it is at the recipient’s/customer’s own risk.
Product Best Before Dates
Products we send out will have Norwegian formatted best-before dates: DD/MM/YYYY. Please ask our customer support if you are unsure.
The products we send out will have a minimum of 40 days remaining usage before the best-before date.
If products have a shorter shelf life than 40 days, this will be stated in the product description. Some products like lefse, lomper, polarbrød, and more will have shorter shelf life and have a best-before date stamped on manually by us before shipment.
If you need longer best-before dates, please contact our customer support BEFORE ordering to ask what best-before dates are available for your order.
Shipping
Our packages are sent through DHL Express. With DHL Express, you can see the package’s location as it is underway. If you choose Economy shipment (only available in eligible regions), you cannot track your shipment.
Orders are shipped normally within 1–5 business days upon ordering.
Packages sent with DHL Express normally arrive to most customers within 2–7 business days, but it might take longer to certain areas. This does not include any hold-ups in customs. Customs can at any time inspect or hold a shipment, awaiting inspection, or ask the customer (importer) for any needed documentation.
If you discover any damages on your products that occurred during transport, please contact our customer service immediately after receiving the package.
Always accept packages from our delivery company. If there are any visible faults with the package/products, we can fix damages inside packages after the recipient/customer has received the shipment.
We are not responsible for packages left unattended or placed outside of your delivery address. DHL offers proof of delivery, and the recipient (customer) will be notified of delivery and can make arrangements with DHL on how the delivery will take place. Delivery is between DHL and our customers, and we are not liable if the recipient/customer chooses for their parcel to be left on the doorstep or outside of the residence without a signature.
Payments
We accept the payment options that are available at checkout at any given time. Some payment solutions will carry extra fees, which are specified during checkout if applicable.
Regarding refunds: Refunds are always given back in NOK (Norwegian kroner) to the payment type used upon ordering. The exchange rate may have changed either up or down since you ordered the goods, and any loss or gain from this is the customer’s responsibility.
The customer can be charged fees by the payment providers and is responsible for payment of these fees, usually deducted from their refund amount. These fees are normally currency conversion fees and are non-refundable from Norwegian Candy Store.
Returns
Within 30 days: If a customer wishes to return the unopened/unused products, contact our customer service department before sending any return shipments. The customer must pay shipping for the products to arrive safely – only then will a refund for the products be issued. Shipping to and from the recipient will not be refunded. The same conditions apply if shipments are returned due to local customs rejection of the shipment or due to the recipient’s lack of payment of duties or taxes.
If your product is broken or has faults due to shipping or handling, we will issue a full or partial refund for the damaged products – the customer must provide photos of the faults, damages, etc.
Alternatively, the customer can receive a voucher, which they can use on their next purchase at Norwegian Candy Store instead of a payout to their card.
Pricing
All prices at Norwegian Candy Store are originally stated in NOK (Norwegian kroner). It is possible to show estimates in other currencies on the pages, but these can only be considered estimates.
There may be differences in prices on our pages in the different global markets. Using a VPN or being in a different country than the one you are ordering to can show the wrong pricing on our online store. It is always the price at checkout, after you have entered the delivery and billing address, that the current correct prices will be shown in the summary.
If you have any questions about our pricing, these must be addressed to customer service before you order the goods.
