As some of you may know, I live in Norway, not the best place for a gunowner, but enough of that.
What I was wondering about was, what is needed for exporting a firearm out of the US? I've seen a lot of goodies on Gunbroker, all usually only ship within US. Who can export, what permits are needed and what is the cost of it?

I can't acces the page from work, but GB has a FAQ section which should explain:

The ATF Answer:
The GCA does not require export licenses. However, most firearms and ammunition must be exported in accordance with the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976. Regulations implementing this Act generally require a license to be obtained from the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, Department of State, PM/DDTC, SA-1, Room 1200, 2401 E St., N.W., Washington, DC 20037; (202) 663-1282.
The export of sporting shotguns and ammunition for sporting shotguns is regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce rather than the State Department. An export license is generally needed to export these shotguns and ammunition. For further information, contact them at their nearest district office or the Bureau of Industry and Security, Outreach and Educational Services Division, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th St. & Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, DC 20230, (202) 482-4811.
When exporting NFA firearms, ATF Form 9 must be completed and approved by ATF prior to export.
[22 U.S.C. 2778, 27 CFR 479.114 and 479.116]
