"Diapers are sold at much lower prices in Norway than in the rest of Europe. The large price difference has led to smuggling of diapers, mainly to Eastern-European countries. The diaper smuggler gain both from the price difference and by evading taxes on the trade"

I was also thinking about that. Normally we do everything we can to buy stuff from abroad, but for diapers even low cost countries buy here. Kinda absurd.
