VAT practices in Åland

Payments for Åland differ from the rest of Finland. Currently, VAT is not payable if the price of the consignment is less than €22. However, this limit does not apply to tobacco products, alcohol, alcoholic beverages or perfumes. Consignments containing these goods must always be cleared through customs, regardless of their value.

If the value of the consignment is more than €22 but less than or equal to €150, you will have to pay VAT, but no customs duty. However, you must clear the consignment through customs. A consignment is duty-free if the total value of the goods it contains does not exceed €150. However, this limit does not apply to alcoholic products, tobacco, tobacco products, perfumes or eau de toilette products. Consignments containing these goods must always be cleared through customs, regardless of their value.

If the value of the consignment exceeds €150, you must clear the consignment through customers and pay both VAT and customs duty. As a rough rule of thumb, customs clearance will increase the price of your order by around 30%.

This price consists of the purchase price of the product, transport costs, VAT and any customs duty payable. Use the Customs Duty Calculator provided by Finnish Customs to find out an estimate of customs duty and VAT.

Customs clearance and payment of VAT

Consignments sent from mainland Finland to Åland are tax-free. When shipping from mainland Finland to Åland, our recommendation is that the consignee in Åland makes the customs declaration and pays the taxes on the Finnish Customs website.
