Organisation and management

Finnish Customs has five departments as well as service units. Two of the departments, Customer Relations and Risk Management and Information and Technology, strongly support knowledge-based management, enabling operations to be directed efficiently and with real impact. The other three departments, Customs Clearance and Taxation, Customs Enforcement and Customs Crime Investigation, are structured upon the core functions of Finnish Customs, acting as the executors of the operational activities. Finnish Customs is headed by the Director General.
