There is an error in the system of Finnish Customs affecting situations where an export declaration from another EU country is transferred to a T2F transit with the intention of transporting the goods to Åland. If a Finnish customs office of exit has not been provided in the export declaration of the other EU country, Customs’ system is not able to retrieve the details of the export operation.

If a Finnish customs office of exit has been provided in the export declaration of the other EU country, the transfer to the T2F transit can be done as usual.

Proceed as follows

If no Finnish customs office of exit has been provided in the export declaration of the other EU country, you should submit an arrival at exit notification (FI507) containing the export MRN. This notification will retrieve the details of the export operation to Customs’ system. After receiving an exit release notification (FI525) from Customs, you can submit the T2F transit declaration. Provide the export MRN with the previous document code N830.

If you cannot submit the arrival at exit notification, contact Customs by email on spake.vienti@tulli.fi. You can ask for the details of the export operation of the other EU country to be retrieved to the Finnish system. State in your message that the request concerns an export declaration to be transferred to a T2F transit in Finland, as Customs does not normally retrieve details by specific request.

If the export declaration of the other EU country has been discharged in the country of departure, it will not be accessible in Finland. If an arrival at exit notification is submitted for such an export declaration, Customs will reply with a rejection notification (FI516) with the rejection reason “Negative CD503C”.

At the moment, we do not know when the error will be fixed. We will provide more information when the problem has been resolved.
