    Importing from Finland to the UK

    Finland is one of the most northern and remote countries on the planet and, as such, has a severe climate with nearly two-thirds blanketed by thick woodlands. Helsinki, the country’s capital, is a hub of economic activity through which many Finnish imports flow.

    Finland is a digitalisation leader, shown through its services across so many sectors, including Finland’s lively start-up sector, a leading developer of AI, new technologies and online platforms. Beyond its service sector, Finland creates many components, raw materials and finished products ready to export to the UK. The government’s focus on strengthening trade means Finnish products are great to import to the UK as consumers are keen on high-quality tech innovations and products.

    Our team coordinates with Finnish firms and manages customs procedures, when necessary, to provide a seamless import experience.

    How Has Brexit Altered the Importation Process From Finland?

    From 1 January 2021, Finnish imports must be declared to customs. British businesses now are under the same rules, restrictions and customs formalities as any other “third country”. One requirement is an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) required at each border – one for the UK and another for the EU. Our blog, What is an EORI Number has more. Your consignment type will also define your customs paperwork, so research and take advice from a customs agent.

    FINNISH IMPORT INFORMATION

    Finland Imports: Tax, Procedural Details and Leading Imports

    VAT and Finnish Imports

    Import VAT must be paid upon entry into the UK. Ensure VAT registration is complete if your turnover is near the threshold before importing goods from Finland. Note that this sales tax can be reclaimed as input VAT.

    Import Duty for Finnish Imports

    Under the UK Global Tariff, accurate classification of goods is essential for determining applicable duties. Excise duties may apply depending on the commodity class. Handily, Barrington Freight can operate as your customs agent – not just your freight partner – to ensure compliance with Finnish import tax regulations.

    Your Step-By-Step Guide For Arranging Imports From Finland
    1. Check Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the imported goods meet all relevant UK rules for resale or you may find they are impounded when they cross the international border.
    2. Register for an EORI Number: This is required to trade with Finnish suppliers by any commercial entity in the UK.
    3. Identify the Correct Commodity Code: Proper coding is crucial for successful Finnish imports because, without it, your imports may be delayed by customs officials.
    4. Select Transportation: Pick from our range of dedicated Finnish road freight services or ask us about air freight for the most urgent consignment requirements.
    5. Customs Preparation: Ensure all documentation is complete for a smooth passage at the border and onward delivery to your facility in the UK.
