VAT in Finland
On imports you pay the same VAT rate as in a shop in Finland: 25.5% for most products. VAT is charged on the product price, shipping, insurance, customs duty and the EU handling fee together.
- 25.5% (standard)
- 13.5% (food, books, medicines)
- 10% (newspapers and magazines)
Clearance fees in Finland
Your postal service or courier handles the customs declaration and pays the taxes on your behalf. You repay these taxes along with a clearance fee. You usually avoid this fee if you paid VAT at checkout through IOSS.
| Carrier | Fee | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Posti | €3.10 per parcel when you pay online (€3.30 in cash), whatever the value, only when you have taxes to pay. Customs count it in the amount you pay VAT on. | November 2026 |
| DHL Express | €20 or 2% of duty and VAT, whichever is higher. | November 2026 |
Travelling back to Finland
Goods you bring from outside the EU are free of duty and VAT up to €430 when you travel by plane or boat, €300 by car or train, and €150 for children under 15. Declare goods above the allowance in the red channel. Not declaring can lead to a fine.
Good to know
- Since 1 July 2026 you can no longer declare parcels from IOSS shops yourself. Posti declares them and you pay nothing on delivery.
