I cannot see why it would not be legal, but for norway i doubt the cost would be cheaper, because of our nazi toll customs.. First you have to pay the normal 25% vat to the gov, but then you also have to pay a fee to the customs and postal service for doing the toll job.. I have heard that people use a loophole by sending it as a gift, but i doubt that would work on such a big item as a computer.

Your friend will have to pay import taxes plus VAT though.

AHA!!!  And how much is this "import tax"?

How much is the VAT on a new computer?[/quote]
Here in norway it is 25% on everything with the exception of certain food items..  :-(
