Cash / Currency → Finland

Cash / Currency is restricted for travelers entering Finland; declare above the personal allowance.

Details

Cash / Currency requires declaration at customs (and in some cases an import permit) when carried by travelers into Finland. Finnish Customs (Tulli) applies a personal-allowance threshold per item category; quantities above attract duty + the destination's VAT/GST rate (25.5%) plus, for select categories, an additional excise tax. EU customs harmonisation and EU Regulation 608/2013 IPR enforcement apply alongside national rules. Travelers should consult Finnish Customs (Tulli) for the current quantity threshold + documentation requirement before departure.

Leaving with this item

Finland requires declaration when leaving with cash and bearer-form negotiable instruments above EUR 10,000.

Practical advice

Carry Cash / Currency in carry-on where applicable (medication / lithium battery / valuables). On arrival, walk the Red Channel and declare on the customs form. Finnish Customs (Tulli) computes duty + VAT at the published rate. Have the purchase receipt + (for medication) the original prescription available.
