Transborder transport
Cabotage
Cabotage involves transport between two locations in a state other than the registered location of the transport operator.
Foreign transport operators may only transport goods or passengers between two locations in Nor- way if there are special reasons for doing so. EU/ EEA transport operators nevertheless have access to temporary cabotage in Norway.
Cargo transport
Any transport operator that has a community licence and has been involved in the delivery of international cargo in an EU/EEA country may per- form cabotage under the following conditions:
• The driver must perform the cabotage using the same vehicle that was used for the transborder transport.
• The driver may undertake a maximum of three cabotage trips after the international cargo has been unloaded in full.
• Unloading after the last cabotage trip must take place within 7 days of delivery of the international cargo.
• A transport operator may also undertake some or all cabotage trips in all member states under the condition that this is restricted to one cabo- tage trip per member state within three days of entering the territory of the member state wit- hout cargo (transit cabotage).
Transport of passengers
Cabotage is permitted for operation of tourist vehicles and special scheduled transport when a contract is in place between the transport operator and the client. In the case of scheduled transport, cabotage is permitted when the transport is part of an international route and the intention is to meet the need for transport within an urban area or to and from adjacent urban areas. Beyond this, cabotage may only be performed on a temporary basis.
Customs regulations
