You can submit a transit declaration in the Customs Clearance Service after 18 November 2023, only if you use Suomi.fi identification

How to identify yourself in the Customs Clearance Service:

• If you have online banking codes, a mobile certificate or a certificate card accepted for Suomi.fi identification, identify yourself with one of them when you submit a declaration on the company’s behalf or in your own name.
• If you are a foreign person and you submit a declaration on a company’s behalf, identify yourself using the Finnish Authenticator application.
• If you don’t have codes for online banking, a mobile certificate or a certificate card accepted for Suomi.fi identification and you wish to declare in your own name, you can’t use the Customs Clearance Service.
• Identify yourself to the customs officer at the customs office using you passport, and present the transit details to the officer e.g. with a SAD form.

Be prepared for changes in the information content of the transit declaration

Changes to the information content of the transit declaration are e.g. the following:

• In the future, the holder of the procedure must reserve the amount of guarantee with the transit declaration (the amount of duties and taxes).
• The commodity code (HS code) must be provided at the level of six digits.
• As a new detail, the customs office of exit must be provided for the transit when the consignment exits the EU, Norway or Switzerland (from the so-called security area) for another common transit country, such as the United Kingdom.
