Tulli (Finnish Customs)

Post by jimena_jr » Thu May 27, 2021 11:13 am

Hi!

UPS just brought me something I ordered from the UK, which is subject to the import tax. I still haven't been asked to pay it by Tulli, does anybody know how this works? In my home country they won't release anything until you pay.
These trusting Finns... :)

who was the seller? Some retailers pay the import duty at their end. I ordered several items from amazon uk, some fulfilled by amazon themselves and one from a marketplace seller. Amazon added the VAT and import tax to their items and they arrived with nothing due at this end. The marketplace item had to be cleared via tulli website.

Hi, this was some manufacturer from Etsy, and I know for a fact they didn't pay the import duty themselves.

Still think this whole thing was a bit weird since the "markings on the dispatch note on the parcel" were perfectly clear but who knows.
