Exports from Norway stopped?

Hi,

there was discussion a couple of days ago on a Norwegian MV page about a Danish guy who lost his GMC to the Norwegian Customs due to unability to produce a Export permission from The Norwegian War Museum. If this is true it will be very sad. They say you need this permission if you are taking a historic MV older than 50 yrs out of Norway. It's supposed to be an old regulation, but for some reason they are now taking it more seriously... I dont't know, maybe it's just a single case. Ask Your Norwegian contacs if you're doing deals over there.

Hmm Interesting

 

I heard rumblings of this when i got the bodge from Norway a few years ago

from the guy i bought it off (imported it myself).

He said exports on vintage military stuff were beginning to tighten up

Seems a bit crazy when most of what comes out of Norway was imported there in the first place. Just who's heritage is it ?

Hmm, I will ask Kjell the next time I catch him, as I have imported a couple of trucks from there, and a friend is importing one in a couple of months time ....... hopefully :oops:

I, too, was hoping to buy a Jimmy from Norway, I was just about to send the money and had arranged a transport. Now I'll wait. The Customs told me to contact the science museum, I'll try that, but on the other hand, I'm not in hurry with this truck. I guess the Norwegians hate to see the cars, motorcycles and trucks go abroad, that are really unique, like the ones from the German occupation. If I've understood correctly they are still turning complete GMCs to tractor trailers in the countryside, lot's of them still around.
