Increased customs duties on agricultural goods and artificial fertilizers from Russia and Belarus

This measure forms part of Norway’s efforts to reduce Russia’s ability to finance and sustain its war against Ukraine. Norway has already implemented sanctions aligned with the EU’s sanctions against Russia.

Imports of agricultural goods and artificial fertilizers from Russia and Belarus amounted to several billion Norwegian kroner in 2025. Fish feed and vegetable oils make up a large share of these imports. Increased customs duties particularly affect the Norwegian aquaculture industry, which relies on imported ingredients from Russia and Belarus such as fish feed and vegetable oils.

The adoption of the regulation entails that:

• agricultural goods originating in Russia and Belarus will be subject to an additional customs duty of 50 percent of the customs value, in addition to the ordinary customs duty.
• artificial fertilizers originating in Russia and Belarus will be subject to an additional customs duty of 6.5 percent of the customs value, plus a fixed surcharge of NOK 5,000 per tonne.
• goods covered by the regulation are not entitled to reduced customs duty under the Customs Duty Act.
