Finland: Export Requirements
Finland is part of the harmonised trade system of the European Union (EU) and importing and exporting are covered by EC Regulations. The Common Customs Tariff (CCT) applies to the import of goods across the borders of the EU.
Exporting from Finland requires:
- Export Compliance
- Knowledge of your commodity
- Proper documentation including permits, licenses and related certificate of origins
- Pre-shipment requirements from the destination country
Necessary Declarations:
Export documentation requirements vary depending on the value of the goods, destination of the shipment and if the goods are controlled, prohibited or regulated. Goods that must be reported require a bill of landing/airway bill, an SAD (Single Administrative Document) export declaration, a commercial or a pro-forma invoice, as well as any export permits, certificate, licenses required for controlled, prohibited or regulated goods. All controlled, regulated commodities require an export permit regardless of the value. It is extremely important that all documents tendered for export clearance processing are accurate in every way. Incomplete or inaccurate documentation may result in lengthy delays in customs processing and may result in warehousing and other customs fees.
Import Regulations
Custom duties and value added tax (VAT) apply to imported goods. All traders (businesses and private individuals) may lodge declarations for importations via the “Customs web channel”.
The customs duty is variable (0-17%) depending on the nature and the classification of the products. It will be calculated from the customs value which means the price that was actually paid to the exporter. Therefore, when presenting a declaration, the commercial invoice, freight bill, and packing list must be enclosed.
Some of the mandatory documents to import goods to Finland are the following:
- Commercial invoice
- Customs Value Declaration
- Freight documents
- Customs Clearance Form (SAD)
- Entry and Exit Summary Declaration (AREX)
- Certificate of Origin
- Insurance certificate
- Declaration for request for free circulation
VAT on goods imported from outside the Community is collected. It is levied on the total amount of the purchase price, delivery costs (freight) and customs duty in accordance with the transport agreement to the first destination within Finland. The VAT for most goods in Finland is 24 %.
