Hi,
some of you might remember that the situation for
doll owners in Norway was precarious. A while ago, customs made some random discoveries during regular inspections, leading to seizures and search warrants. The result was a
massive media hysteria and it was unclear for a while if dolls would have to be considered banned in Norway.
However, Norway is no hick country with dated backwards-oriented laws; actually it's quite the opposite, so the events in Norway gave me a lot to think.
Based on my belief that Norwegian authorities just (rather strictly) enforced a legal situation applicable to EU countries as well and did
not retard back to moral prejudices from decades ago (like the UK) I made a shipment to a Norwegian customer.
It was inspected, and it
passed.

The doll in question was a
EX-lite -
life-sized, adult proportions and adult faces. So I think it's rather safe to assume that there is no general ban on dolls in Norway. As long as you stick to common-sense recommendation that apply similarily to EU countries, Canada, the U.S. and Australia, everything should be fine.
