Finnish Customs is a government office in Turku that handles cross-border trade and border control for southwestern Finland. The office processes customs declarations, answers questions about import rules, and runs a laboratory for checking whether goods meet legal requirements.
The office was founded in the early 1800s, making it one of the first organized customs bodies in the country. Over time, it adapted to align with the shared trade rules of the European Union.
Finnish Customs in Turku is part of a national network of offices that control goods arriving from around the world. Staff here advise both private individuals and businesses on import and export rules on a daily basis.
Anyone with questions about importing or exporting goods should visit during regular weekday working hours. It helps to bring any relevant paperwork along, whether you are a business or an individual.
