Customs clearance carnet

The right of crewmembers of a means of transport in professional traffic to bring in goods tax free

A crewmember on duty on a means of transport that provides professional transportation between Finland and a country or territory outside the EU, can in a calendar month import the same quantity of goods free of tax as passengers can from one trip.

You must enter the goods in a customs clearance carnet upon their import. Pick up a customs clearance carnet in time, before your employment on the means of transport begins. The customs clearance carnet must be presented to Customs upon request. Read more on the customs clearance carnet.
