Actually, there's an interesting fact that the swedes might like to know.. Norway isn't part of the EU and the total import taxes+vat for electronics froma Asia to Norway are slightly lower than into EU. If I remember correctly this is because there is a special electronics import tax in the EU zone. Unfortunately I can't guarantee this. But maybe if a Norwegian commercial firm decides to import freerunners directly from Asia the cost for swedes to pick up a freerunner "post restante" i Norway might be slightly lower than to order it from inside the EU. Of course, this depends entirely on wheter a Norwegian firm decides to import and their pricing..
