Can an ATM do the job of a customs agent? Norway says yes.
Declaring extra alcohol or cigarettes at Norway airports is now as easy as withdrawing money from an ATM. According to a recent article on NEWS.com.au, Norway is the first country to install automated teller machines as part of its customs. As of April 1, travellers can declare goods and even pay duty with their bank cards.
The move will free up customers personnel to deal with more serious incidents of smuggling.
