Make International Shipping Easier for Finland’s Diverse Industries with One Union Solutions
Finland imposes VAT on all imported goods when it comes to taxes and duties. Most products are subject to 24% value-added tax, but some products, such as medical equipment, are subject to reduced rates. Specific goods may also be subject to customs duty, which varies by product type and country of origin. To avoid potential penalties and delays, it’s imperative to know these tax and duty requirements before importing goods into Finland.
Now let’s look at the unique requirements of each of these industries.
Tech industry:
When importing IT equipment to Finland, companies must comply with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and make sure the products are safe and electromagnetically compatible with EU standards. Furthermore, the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (FICORA) regulates radio frequency usage in Finland, and companies must have licenses to operate radio equipment. To follow all the legal requirements, One Union Solutions will provide you with effective IOR solutions in Finland.
Medical industry:
There are many regulations in the healthcare industry, and shipping medical devices to Finland requires compliance with the (MDR) and (IVDR). Regulatory guidelines make sure medical devices are safe, effective, and meet quality standards. A medical device must be assessed and get the necessary CE markings to comply with regulations. If the device has the CE marking, it’s able to be sold in the European Economic Area (EEA), including Finland.
Medical equipment also must be registered, provide performance information, and meet safety standards as part of the (Fimea) rules and regulations. These regulations can lead to penalties and even legal action can be taken for those who violate them. In these situations, we will assist you in successful import operations.
Automotive Industry:
Automobiles and their parts have to comply with EU type-approval regulations and get the right certifications. Ensure that vehicles meet safety and environmental standards by enforcing these regulations, which are overseen by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom).
Aviation industry:
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certifies aircraft and parts in the aviation industry, so they have to follow EU safety rules. In addition, companies must follow Finland’s aviation regulations and get their licenses and permits from Traficcom.
In general, getting IT and Telecom equipment into Finland requires careful consideration and compliance with EU and Finnish regulations. A company has to get the right certifications and licenses, pay taxes and duties, and make sure their products are safe and environmentally friendly.
One Union Solutions provides you with proper and careful import procedures to ensure the safe and faster import of Telecom and IT equipment in Finland.
