> In a slightly less illogical EU

This has approximately nothing to do with the EU. Norway is not in the EU and not in the EU Customs Union.

> The European Economic Area (EEA) was established via the Agreement on the European Economic Area, an international agreement which enables the extension of the European Union's single market to member states of the European Free Trade Association. The EEA links the EU member states and three EFTA states (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and *Norway*) into an internal market governed by the same basic rules.

We have our own customs rules though. The proper EU members are all bound by the EU customs TARIC[1] while Norway has its own[2].

The EEA limits what we can do with our own customs tariff though.
