A transit declaration can be submitted by any person or business with a Suomi.fi identifier.
When you act as transit principal and holder of the transit procedure, you must adhere to the given time-limits and to other responsibilities provided for in the customs legislation. You may, for instance, have to pay taxes and other payments for the transit goods, if they disappear during transit.
Transit goods can be subject to some restrictions, which have been defined in legislation.
A transit declaration can be lodged at any customs office that provides customer service, for example, at a port, the airport or at the country border. Furthermore, the authorised consignor can transit goods from all customs approved warehouses, which are called temporary warehouses or customs warehouses.
You can transit goods to a customs warehouse or temporary warehouse, to another country or perhaps to the border of Finland, if the goods are to be exported to Russia.
