Exporting to Finland From a Non-EU Country Like the UK
Exporting goods to Finland from the UK involves navigating a more complex customs process than used to be the case due to the UK’s position outside the EU. All shipments must be accompanied by accurate customs documentation, including a commercial invoice, packing list and any necessary export licenses. Goods must be correctly classified using Harmonised System (HS) codes to determine applicable duties and taxes.
Additionally, an Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number is required to ensure smooth customs clearance and compliance with Finnish and EU regulations. At Barrington Freight, our operations team doesn’t just handle road haulage for exportation firms because we can also take care of all the customs processes, as well, by acting as your agent if you do not have the requisite expertise in this frequently technical area in house.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a time-critical air freight shipment coming in from China to the UK and Simon was a huge help in getting it over the line. Right before arrival, an issue came up due to a mistake from the airline, which could have turned into a real headache. Simon picked it up straight away, dealt with it quickly and managed to sort everything without any extra costs on our side. Really solid support throughout and easy to deal with, especially given the urgency. Another great job by Barrington Freight - we’ll definitely be using them again!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good service during a turbulent global shipping period. Special thanks goes to Lee for his efficiency and proactive updates and for rescheduling a delivery in less than 24hrs when the haulage company didn’t read their own paperwork and sent a lorry without the requested tail lift. Highly recommended.
