Bringing a car from Norway
Norway is one of the longest routes to Bulgaria. Most transporters load around Oslo, cross to Denmark through Sweden or by ferry, and continue through Germany and Austria or through Poland and Hungary. Bergen and Stavanger on the west coast add a long leg, so a car from there is cheapest when it joins a transporter already heading south. Many used cars from Norway are electric; open transporters carry them like any other car.
What to hand over
The Norwegian registration certificate (vognkort), the purchase contract or invoice, the export declaration from Norwegian customs, and every key.
Customs
Norway is in the European Economic Area but not in the EU customs union, so the car crosses a customs border. It needs an export declaration in Norway and customs clearance when it enters the EU. Import VAT is charged on entry, and import duty depends on where the car was made and the proof of origin you have. Agree with the carrier or a customs broker who files the declarations before the car is loaded, and check the amounts with Bulgarian customs before you buy.
