Norway is the EU's largest source of aluminium, home to hydropower-based smelters that make some of the world's lowest-carbon primary metal. For European buyers it is the anchor non-EU supplier of the aluminium that becomes packaging, car parts, façades and cable.
The panel below pulls the latest official figures from Eurostat: how many tonnes of unwrought aluminium the EU imported from Norway in the most recent reported month, the total value, the implied customs unit value in euros per tonne (a declared trade average, not the LME price), the year-on-year change, and Norway's share of all the aluminium the EU imports from outside the bloc.
Why the tariff matters here
Because Norway is part of the European Economic Area, Norwegian aluminium generally enters the EU at 0% duty rather than the 3%/6% most-favoured-nation rate that applies to origins like China or the UAE. Norway's hydropower-based metal is also low-carbon, which limits its exposure to the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) from 2026 — a growing cost advantage over high-carbon origins. That combination of tariff-free access and low embedded carbon is a real reason European buyers favour Norwegian supply. The exact legal rules for a given code and shipment should always be confirmed in the EU's official TARIC database.

Frequently asked questions
Is Norway a major aluminium supplier to the EU?
Yes — it is consistently the EU's largest non-EU origin. The live figures above show its latest tonnes, value and share.
What tariff applies to Norwegian aluminium?
Generally 0% under the EEA, versus the 3%/6% MFN rate for non-agreement origins. Confirm in TARIC.
How fresh is the data?
Eurostat publishes monthly trade with roughly a two-month lag; this page always shows the latest available month.
