Norwegian Customs' app for quota calculation and customs clearance. Calculate the duty free quota and clear through customs the items you are bringing in above the quota. The app calculates the duty. You can pay directly in the app and go through the green channel. If you want to bring in alcohol and tobacco products exceeding the duty free quota, you can use this app to calculate the duty you have to pay. Using this app you can clear up to 27 liters of beer or wine, four liters of spirits, 400 cigarettes, 500 grams of tobacco or snuff and 400 cigarette papers and tubes. You can also customs clear other goods than alcohol and tobacco, up to and including a value of NOK 20,000 per person. When you have completed the customs clearance, a receipt will appear in the app. You may then cross the border through the green channel, and you do not have to present yourself to Customs. You can choose to complete the customs clearance directly before crossing the border or clear your goods in advance. At a customs control, you will be asked to show the receipt you have received. The receipt states what items you have cleared, and the time period in which you can cross the border. You can choose to have a copy of the receipt sent to a given e-mail address. Note that the e-mail is not valid as receipt at a customs control. You can choose to clear goods for one more person in addition to yourself. You must then cross the border together. The app includes information on the duty free quota, the value limits, customs clearance and regulations concerning travelling to Norway. Regarding privacy in the Customs App: http://www.toll.no/en/about-norwegian-customs/about-us/privacy/ When using the quota calculator, no information will be passed to Customs.​

Buy your tickets – as easy as 1-2-3. Østfold kollektivtrafikk's mobile app lets you buy your ticket before you get on board. The app is valid on buses in Østfold and Hvalerferga. ØstfoldBillett requests access permission to the following functions: * Location Used in connection with ticket purchases so that ØstfoldBillett can automatically suggest a ticket based on the zone in which you are located. You can still purchase a ticket even if the location function is turned off, but you must manually enter the stop or station from which the ticket will apply. * Contacts Used when sending tickets to phone numbers stored in your contacts. * Notifications Used to send notifications when tickets and payment cards expire. You can still purchase a ticket even if the notification function is turned off. * Background App Refresh Used at night when updating your control code and today's picture so that next day you always have the valid code and picture ready for a ticket inspection. You can still purchase a ticket even if the background update function is turned off. * Mobile Data Used when communicating with Østfold kollektivtrafikk's systems during ticket purchases. If the app's access to mobile data is blocked, you can only buy a ticket if you have access to a wireless network (Wi-Fi). You must also have network access in order to display the control code and today's picture during a ticket inspection. If you want to block access, you can do so from your phone on ØstfoldBillett's "Settings" page. https://www.ostfold-kollektiv.no https://www.ostfold-kollektiv.no/kontakt-oss/kontaktskjema
