At 12:01 a.m. on 7 August 2025, the United States imposed a flat 15 % tariff on virtually all goods originating in Norway, as set out in President Trump’s executive order of 31 July. Norway now joins the EU, Japan and dozens of other trading partners at the 15 % level—well above the effective 1 % rate Norwegian exporters faced only a year ago.
