Your Seamless Move to the Land of a Thousand Lakes
Finland consistently ranks as the world’s happiest country, offering an unparalleled quality of life, world-class education, and a deep connection to nature. Whether you are relocating to the coastal sophistication of Helsinki, the technological hub of Espoo, or the industrial-meets-cultural charm of Tampere, moving to Finland in 2026 is an ambitious and rewarding transition.
However, an international move of over 1,200 miles requires meticulous logistical planning. Since the UK’s departure from the EU, removals to Finland involve navigating specific customs declarations and residency requirements. At Pask’s Removals, we specialize in “Making Moving Easy” by handling the heavy lifting and the complex paperwork, ensuring your journey to the Nordic North is stress-free.

Navigating Finnish Customs in 2026
As a member of the EU, Finland requires specific documentation for goods arriving from the UK. To import your household belongings without paying the standard 24% Finnish VAT, you must qualify for Transfer of Residence (ToR) status.
Duty-Free Requirements
To avoid import duties and taxes in 2026, the Finnish Customs Authority (Tulli) requires:
-
12-Month Rule: Proof you have lived outside the EU (in the UK) for at least 12 consecutive months.
-
6-Month Ownership: Items must have been owned and used by you for at least six months prior to the move.
-
Finnish Residency: A copy of your Finnish residence permit or a certificate from the local council (Digi- ja väestötietovirasto) to certify your residency.
-
Detailed Inventory: A comprehensive, signed packing list including the value, size, and weight of each item.
New for 2026: Electronic Service Transition As of 2026, Finnish Customs has shifted primarily to electronic service for all decisions. We handle the digital filings through the Tulli portal on your behalf, ensuring your inventory is cleared before the vehicle reaches the border, avoiding costly delays at the port of Helsinki or Turku.

Speed: Door-to-door transit typically takes 4–6 days via ferry from Germany or Estonia.

Timeline: Deliveries are usually completed within 10–14 days.

Living in Finland: 2026 Tips for Newcomers
The “Henkilötunnus” (Personal Identity Code) Your personal identity code is the key to life in Finland. You need it for everything from opening a bank account to getting a phone contract. You can apply for this at the same time you register your residency at the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.
The 3-Year Rule for Citizenship If you are moving with a Finnish spouse, be aware that you may be eligible for a reduced 5-year total residency period for naturalization, provided you have lived together in Finland for at least three years.
Winter Preparation If you are moving in the winter months, ensure your new home is ready for the arrival. Our team is experienced in handling removals in sub-zero temperatures, ensuring your belongings are protected from thermal shock during unloading.
