Statistical data on vessels (seagoing) and aircraft (unladen weight over 2000 kg) are declared only when economic ownership is transferred. Economic ownership means the right to claim the benefits associated with the use of a vessel or aircraft in the course of an economic activity by virtue of accepting the associated risks. Concerning these kind of vessels and aircraft a physical crossing of the Finnish border is not required.
