What is a Tael (Shanghai / Mainland China)? Platinum weight, conversions and local use
Definition. The Shanghai or metric tael is exactly 50 grams, the rounded unit adopted in mainland China after metrication. Locally it is written 市两 (shìliǎng). One tael (shanghai / mainland china) equals 50 grams, or 1.60754 troy ounces, which at today's platinum spot price works out to — NOK.
Where it is used. Shanghai Gold Exchange contracts settle in kilograms, but retail shops and traditional dealers still speak in 市两 of 50 g, and 50 g bars are a popular gift and savings format. The unit is the trading standard in mainland China.
Pricing conventions. Mainland quotes are set against the SGE benchmark in yuan per gram; converting to a dollar price per 50 g tael is the usual way to compare Shanghai with London and see whether China is paying a premium. Platinum has almost no traditional-unit retail market: it is quoted per ounce or per gram, and this conversion is mainly used for jewellery weighing and industrial stock.
Good to know. The metric tael is noticeably heavier than the Hong Kong tael (50 g vs 37.429 g) — the two are not interchangeable, and confusing them overstates a price by a third.

Buying Platinum in Norway: local market, taxes and premiums
At the live price shown above per tael (shanghai / mainland china), the price you see here is the international XPT spot price converted into Norwegian Krone. Physical buyers in Norway pay that reference plus a premium, and local trading is concentrated around Oslo, with dealers importing from continental Europe. Buyers there generally watch the LBMA price converted at the Norges Bank daily rate as the day's reference.
Taxes and duties. Silver, platinum and palladium carry 25% VAT, so most Norwegian silver investors buy stored metal abroad. Platinum is a much smaller market driven by autocatalyst and jewellery demand, so local availability is patchier and dealer spreads wider. That is why the shop price of platinum in NOK can sit noticeably above the spot value of the same tael (shanghai / mainland china) of metal.
How people usually buy. The common routes in Norway are Norwegian bullion dealers, European online dealers with insured shipping, bank deposit boxes and ETCs. The products most often quoted locally include 1 oz bullion coins, 100 g bars, vaulted allocated grams.
Local conventions. Because Norway is outside the EU customs union, imports need customs declaration even when the metal itself is VAT-free. Before you buy, compare the dealer's asking price per tael (shanghai / mainland china) with the live platinum price above, and check the buy-back spread the same dealer offers — that round-trip cost matters more than a small difference in the headline NOK quote.
