Why Temu orders to Norway look set to become more expensive
Mounting pressure from Norwegian authorities, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and potential new duties on parcel distributors could soon make ordering from Temu more expensive for Norwegian consumers. The shopping platform's appeal lies in its low prices and vast selection, but recent investigations have cast a shadow over its operations. A joint Nordic inspection of products ordered from Temu and similar platforms revealed that 7 out of 10 items contained hazardous substances , including materials banned under Norwegian and EU law. This discovery prompted Norwegian Climate and Environment Minister Andreas Bjelland Eriksen to summon parcel distributors for a high-level meeting on Monday. Their (declared) task? To determine how Norway can better regulate the flow of online imports from platforms like Temu and protect consumers from unsafe goods. READ MORE: Why Norway will hit you with a customs fee for small online purchases from abroad Stricter controls Following the meeting, Minister Eriksen emphasised a collective recognition that "more control is needed," the business newspaper e24 reported. In the short term, the government wants to ramp up customs checks on incoming packages to detect violations of environmental and safety regulations. While this won't cover all 31,000 Temu packages entering Norway daily, the goal is to create a credible threat of enforcement – building the case for distributors to cut ties with non-compliant sellers. Eriksen clarified that the government is prepared to act unilaterally if distributors fail to take responsibility. This could include assigning new legal duties to distributors , such as requiring them to conduct due diligence on platform partners or reject deliveries that don't meet Norwegian standards. Advertisement Why consumers might pay more While consumer protection is the focus of the government's efforts, these additional controls are unlikely to come free – and the cost could land on Norwegian consumers. Distributors such as Posten and Bring are generally not permitted to open individual packages. However, if they're mandated to support customs with expanded control zones, staff training, and technological upgrades to track regulatory compliance, these changes will require significant investment. Similarly, if new legislation places liability or enforcement obligations on these companies, they'll need to develop internal compliance systems – costs that might, at least in part, be passed on through increased service fees or higher delivery charges. For platforms like Temu, additional pressure from Norwegian or European regulations may compel them to alter sourcing practices, submit to external audits, or cut off certain suppliers altogether. That may reduce the availability of ultra-cheap goods, especially those that violate safety standards. And in logistics, time is money - additional inspections and customs holds could delay delivery times, leading distributors to raise prices or prioritise more expensive service tiers. READ ALSO: What are the rules for posting and receiving items in Norway Advertisement A long-term shift on the horizon Another potential source of price inflation is Norway's push for more substantial alignment with EU regulatory frameworks on e-commerce and consumer protection. Both Climate Minister Eriksen and Children and Family Minister Lene Vågslid have voiced support for more integrated European systems that ensure consistent safety data across borders. If they materialise, such systems could lead to the adoption of stricter EU and EEA-wide compliance requirements for non-EEA platforms like Temu. While this would potentially standardise enforcement, it could also increase the regulatory burden on foreign sellers and their logistics partners – raising the costs of doing business in Norway. A price worth paying? This rising tide of accountability may soon make Temu's orders to Norway cost more. And as distributors and platforms absorb these new responsibilities, the end customer will likely see the difference in their final bill. Yet, don't expect consumers to take to the streets - numerous Norwegians might consider it a price worth paying in the broader context of consumer safety.

Outgoing Man Utd star admits Red Devils were lucky not to be relegated
Manchester United played out their worst ever season in the Premier League with a summer overhaul set to take place and Christian Eriksen reckons the team were lucky to not be relegated Christian Eriksen believes Manchester United were 'lucky' to not be relegated this season. The Red Devils finished 15th in the Premier League as they recorded their worst ever performance in the division. United were 17 points clear of the bottom three but languished scarcely above it for much of the season. A win over Aston Villa on the final day of the season helped open up the gap but Ruben Amorim's side suffered 18 defeats across 2024/25 in the league. Eriksen scored at Old Trafford to sign off his three-year spell with United. The Danish midfielder's contract expires in the coming weeks, along with that of Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof. The 33-year-old was not able to end his stint with success after the club missed out on Europa League success against Eriksen's former team, Tottenham. The ex-Ajax ace is confident United will improve next season. Eriksen believes it has proved difficult to adapt from Erik ten Hag to Amorim, but that United's squad should have done more based upon their individual quality. "I think unfortunately there's been a lot of lows this season with the games, and obviously the final was the missing piece. It's football," said Eriksen. "For me now, I think people are lucky that we are where we are, not relegated with the season we've had. It's a bit of luck, you have to acknowledge. Next season it has to be better, and I'm sure it will be. I'm looking forward to watching it from the sides. "I think you've seen progress but, of course, the results haven't really shown that. One hundred per cent the results haven't shown that. "I think the football we came from (Erik) Ten Hag to this is obviously going to take time to adapt, and obviously it's been far below the standard of the club and the players here. "I think the players individually are very, very good players, and they should never be where we are in the table. It's up to them to turn around but, yeah, I'm confident they'll be a very different team next season, I'm sure." Eriksen is yet to decide upon his next step but remains unflustered. The Dane has options after enjoying his stay at Old Trafford. "I think it was the perfect ending to a bad season," he said. "I was happy to see that go in and finish off like I started, with a smile on my face. "I've really enjoyed my time. It's a club I've always looked up to – the club size and everything around it. I've loved the pressure, loved the style of play with the different managers and the people at the club. "I mean, they've taken really good care of me and my family, so in that sense I've had three very, very good years. Obviously it's been a lot of ups and downs in football, but I think in general I've had a special time. "First of all there's a bit of a holiday and national team. Then after we'll see where next season starts, but at the moment there's nothing (lined up). There are options."

Eriksen expects very different Manchester United next season
United finished a lowly 15th in the Premier League table -- their worst placing since being relegated from the old First Division in 1974. But Denmark midfielder Eriksen, who is leaving Old Trafford, believes better days are ahead for United, with manager Ruben Amorim set to create "a very different team next season". United ended the season with a 2-0 win at home to Aston Villa on Sunday -- just four days after they blew a chance at silverware and Champions League qualification by losing the Europa League final to fellow Premier League strugglers Tottenham. "I think you've seen progress – of course the results haven't really shown that," Eriksen told the PA news agency. "One hundred percent the results haven't shown that. "I think the football we came from (Erik) ten Hag to this is obviously going to take time to adapt, and obviously it's been far below the standard of the club and the players here. "I think the players individually are very, very good players, and they should never be where we are in the table. "It's up to them to turn around but, yeah, I'm confident they'll be a very different team next season, I'm sure." Yet, United supporters did not turn on their team, with Eriksen adding: "Obviously, at home has been, even in the stadium, there's been games where it's been not good enough, but they've really been supportive and away especially they've been even more on their toes and even in the worst times." Eriksen's three-season stay at Old Trafford is now at an end, with the 33-year-old scoring a penalty on his final United appearance after it seemed his football career was over when he suffered a cardiac arrest during a European Championship match between Denmark and Finland in 2021. "I've really enjoyed my time (at United)," said Eriksen. "It's a club I've always looked up to –- the club size and everything around it. "I've loved the pressure, loved the style of play with the different managers and the people at the club. "They've taken really good care of me and my family, so in that sense I've had three very, very good years.
