Shipping to Finland from the UK
We try to make procuring road freight services to all of the Scandinavian countries as simple as possible here at Barrington Freight. That’s why our operations team is geared up to meet the demands of both SMEs and much larger exportation companies alike whether they have cartons, palletised goods or heavy machinery they need to get from the British mainland to Finland. We deal with door-to-door deliveries in all parts of the country, not just the major urban centres like Tampere, Helsinki and Turku in the south. We are equally as well-versed in helping UK firms get their goods to clients in places like Rovaniemi, in the north, or Kuusamo and Lappeenranta, both near the Russian border.
Another key part of our B2B service when shipping goods to Finland is the provision of first-rate customs clearance work. If you don’t have a clearance broker or your own team who can organise customs clearances to EU countries, like Finland, then we can combine our freight forwarding prowess with our customs declaration expertise and offer you a complete logistical solution.

Finland Import Customs Requirements
Customs Considerations, VAT and Prohibited Items
VAT Finland
To organise a Finland delivery to the UK, you will need to handle customs declarations, which include VAT notices. In Finland, VAT is referred to as “Arvonlisävero” (ALV). Finnish VAT rules are in accordance with EU regulations, though there may be specific national variations for certain types of goods, such as books, for example. The standard VAT rate in Finland is 24%.
| Goods or Services | VAT Rate Finland |
|---|---|
| Standard taxable goods and services | 24% |
| Reduced rate goods and services (e.g.,groceries and catering services) | 14% |
| Reduced rate goods and services (e.g., newspapers and periodicals and pharmaceutical products) | 10% | Intra-community and international transport | 0% |
Restrictions
Shipping to Finland or importing goods from the country to the UK may involve making special declarations for certain classes of goods:
- Endangered Species: Regulations exist on the export of species under CITES, with a focus on Nordic and Arctic flora and fauna.
- Pharmaceuticals and Controlled Substances: Tight regulations are in place on the export of certain medications, especially those classified as psychotropic drugs.
- Cultural and Historical Objects: Strict controls on the export of items with significant cultural or historical value exist in Finland, particularly those related to Finnish heritage and Sami culture.
- Alcoholic Beverages: There are restrictions and excise duties on the export of traditional Finnish alcoholic products, such as Koskenkorva Viina and various berry liqueurs.
- Fur and Leather Goods: Regulatory considerations need to be factored in for the export of fur products, especially those derived from indigenous wildlife.
EORI Number Finland
You will need an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) for the UK and any EU country you ship to and from alongside a range of other customs requirements. See our blog on what is an EORI Number? for more information.
Remember, too, that simply registering with HMRC as an importer of goods from Finland will not be sufficient – on its own – to be able to use Finnish suppliers.
Barrington Freight operates as a customs clearance agency as well as a team of expert freight forwarders, so we can help you with all of these matters if you need us to, whether you’re importing or exporting. We have the necessary licensing arrangements in place to oversee exported goods from the UK to Finland which has the same regulations in place as every other EU state. Therefore, we can help with multiple consignment deliveries that might include some in Finland and some in other countries, such as those in France, Spain or Belgium, for instance.
