Many freight forwarders are reluctant to ship to Norway, one reason being that it is not a member of the European Union, and another difficulty is transport, which we explain below is not as complicated as some people think:

Norway has a road network of 92 946 kilometres (57 754 miles), of which 72 033 kilometres (44 759 miles) are paved and 664 kilometres (413 miles) are motorways. There are four levels of road routes; national and primary county roads are numbered, and there are municipal and private roads. The main national routes are the European Route Scheme, the two most prominent being the E6 running north-south across the country and the E39 along the west coast line. The E39 coastal motorway is currently under development to improve the route and reduce driving time from 21 hours. It is expected to be completed in 2026 with a new series of tunnels and bridges, including a 27 km sea tunnel linking Stavanger and Haugesund.

There are motorways around the largest cities; in 2008, 130 ferry routes remained in operation, operated by private companies under contract to the Public Roads Management Company. The most difficult rural investments since the 1970s have been land links, which have replaced the many car ferries needed to cross fjords and connect to islands. There is insufficient funding from tax money, so these tunnels and bridges are usually financed mainly from tolls. For some mountain passes, snow storms in winter cause serious problems and they often have to be closed. The most exposed mountain passes are closed all winter.
