Customs clearance of gifts

The recipient of a gift consignment can clear the gift and pay any import taxes usually in Customs Import declaration service for private persons.

Published by: Finnish Customs · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

The content, value and country of consignment determine whether it has to be cleared through Customs. When receiving an uncleared gift from outside the EU, within the EU's customs territory, but outside the fiscal territory of the EU you must usually submit a customs clearance for the gift and pay for the possible import duties. If it is a gift sent between Finland and the Åland Islands, it must usually be cleared through Customs. If the gift must be cleared through Customs, you will be notified by Posti or another courier company. When you send a gift from Åland to other parts of Finland, you must clear it through Customs before sending it. A private individual’s gift to another private individual is exempt from customs duty and tax if the gift’s value is 45 euros or less, and it is sent from outside the EU customs and fiscal territory or the EU fiscal territory, or is sent between mainland Finland and the Åland Islands. Exceptions include, for example, gifted alcohol and tobacco products which are subject to taxes regardless of their value. There are also limits on how much duty-free and tax-free coffee, tea and their essences and extracts, and perfumes and eau de toilette products you can send. If the gift is delivered by post and you clear it through a Customs service, you may have to pay a handling fee to Posti before they deliver the consignment to you. If you submit the customs clearance yourself, please note that the carrier can only deliver your consignment to you once they have received a release decision of the customs clearance from you. If you submit the customs clearance yourself, please check from the carrier company’s arrival notification whether you have to send a release decision to them. If you need a release decision for a customs clearance you have submitted in the Customs Import declaration service for private persons, you can find it under “My customs clearance” in the service’s menu.

How to use it

You can clear gifts usually in the Customs Import declaration service for private persons. However, not all consignments, such as consignments containing both gifts of up to and over 45 euros in value, consignments with both taxable and tax-free gifts, or gifts to non-family members, can be cleared through the Customs Import declaration service for private persons. These can be cleared by buying customs clearance as a service from a carrier, using the Customs Clearance Service, by visiting a Customs office or by sending the customs clearance form to Customs. You can find more detailed instructions for clearing through Customs on the Customs website.

Declaring goods as a business customer

You can declare goods, that is, complete a customs clearance, and pay the possible import duties by submitting an import declaration to Customs.

Published by: Finnish Customs · Government organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: All Finland

About this service

Description

When your company receives goods imported from outside the EU customs and fiscal territory, or from inside the EU customs territory but outside the EU fiscal territory, you must, in most cases, submit an import declaration to Customs. If a consignment of goods requires a customs clearance, you will be informed accordingly by the courier company.

A company engaged in regular importation may apply for authorisations for comprehensive guarantee and payment deferment. For companies with authorisation for payment deferment, the average deadline for paying import taxes is five weeks. However, such companies may already take possession of the goods before the taxes have been paid. You can submit a customs clearance online in the Customs Clearance Service. The service is free of charge and available 24/7. You can also submit a notification via the message exchange service between businesses and Customs. Select the appropriate method based on the amount of your customs-related activities and the scope of declarations.

Before using the service, please read the instructions for identification and how to use the services on the Customs website. ### Paying in the service Pay the duties, taxes and charges payable when submitting the declaration if your company does not have the Customs authorisation for comprehensive guarantee and payment deferment. If your company has the authorisation, you will receive both a release and a customs clearance decision after the declaration has been accepted. During the next month, you will receive a consolidated invoice called periodic filing. In the Customs Clearance Service, you can pay a customs invoice in an online bank or as a card payment (Visa Credit/Debit and Mastercard Credit/Debit). After you have submitted the customs clearance and paid any related taxes, the postal consignment will be delivered directly to you or a Posti pick-up point of your choosing. When clearing a cargo consignment through customs, save the release decision and be prepared to deliver it to the carrier of your consignment so that the consignment can be released from the warehouse. Most warehouse managers receive the release information directly to their systems from Customs. The customs clearance must be submitted and any related taxes paid within the time specified by the carrier, or the carrier will return your consignment to the consignor.

About this service

Description

When you have sold or exported your vehicle for registration abroad or in Åland, you can decommission it abroad or to Åland. You can decommission a vehicle transferred abroad or to Åland if you are the owner or holder of the vehicle. You will also have to be able to prove that the vehicle has left the country. Decommissioning a vehicle transferred abroad or to Åland will interrupt the vehicle tax and the validity of the motor vehicle liability insurance. Notify! The registration authorities of EU countries notify Traficom when a vehicle registered in Finland has been registered in another EU country. Based on the notification, Traficom marks the vehicle as decommissioned abroad. Sometimes there are delays or other challenges in the flow of information. The fastest way to stop the vehicle tax payments and motor vehicle liability insurance premiums is to decommission the vehicle abroad by following the instructions on this page.

How to use it

You can decommission your vehicle abroad or to Åland at an inspection station that offers registration services. Bring a copy of the registration certificate from the foreign country/Åland or a certification of exit from Finnish customs.

About this service

Description

With this service, you create a deed of gift online with step-by-step guidance. A deed of gift puts the gift in writing, so the terms of the gift and the parties are clearly documented. The guided online service asks for details of the donor and the recipient, what is being given and the terms of the gift. For example, you can specify that the gift is not an advance on inheritance, exclude the recipient's spouse's marital rights, or retain a right of use for yourself. The service is suitable for cash gifts and for gifts of housing company shares, shares, vehicles and other movable property. The service creates the deed of gift based on the information you provide, replacing the need to fill in a blank template. You can review the document in a free preview before payment and download it as a PDF after payment.

Pay for the service and download the finished deed of gift as a PDF. 6. Sign the document and follow the included instructions on completing the gift and any follow-up steps.

Conditions

The service is intended for creating an ordinary deed of gift where the donor and recipient, as well as the subject and terms of the gift, are clear. How a gift is taxed depends on factors such as its value, the relationship between the donor and the recipient, and other gifts received from the same donor. Up-to-date information on gift tax should be checked with the Finnish Tax Administration. Gifts of real estate are subject to special formal requirements under law. If the gift involves real estate, international circumstances, significant special terms, questions about advance inheritance or other special circumstances, personal legal or tax advice may be needed.
