Certificate of Preference Circular No. 2/2008
Norway : Graduation of Hong Kong from Norway's
Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Scheme
This circular informs traders that the Norwegian authorities have recently announced that Hong Kong has been removed from the list of eligible countries/territories for tariff free treatment under the Norwegian Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Scheme with effect from 1 January 2008. The Norwegian authorities have further confirmed that no transitional arrangement is available.
