Norwegian consumers still have to pay tariff handling fees and VAT when buying stuff from the EU, making EU imports more expensive and a general hassle. That would go away.
Everyone pays VAT that’s the point of VAT. You might get away with paying a lower VAT if you buy something from a small store in another country but you are always suppose to pay the VAT of the country where you live - for example if you buy something from a German online store in Portugal you are supposed to pay the 23% rate to the Portuguese government not the 19% rate to the German government, and big online stores will do it for you automatically.
