Is it legal for an American to mail a new computer to Norway or Sweden?

Shipping to Europe is legal, but the receiver generally has to sign a document, agreeing not to use the stuff for terrorism, etc.

The receiver has to pay customs fees for the goods (tarrifs vary depending on the type of goods), and then you generally have to pay "VAT" for it (though it's called "moms" in Scandinavia).

 Did Chief Wiggum push for that rule?

I think it was the department of homeland security... :-P

Just look at the sales aggrement if you buy a Dell-computer.

Actually, If you violate the agreement, they'll force you (through legal instances) to send the computer back.
