Has anyone imported 2nd hand goods into Finland? Do you know have to pay tax on 2nd hand goods and if so can you point me in the right direction to get the tax requirements.

thank you

It might depend on where you'd be importing from... and what

Maybe someone here has 1st hand experience on the matter, if not then your best bet would be to contact the Vero office...

The kind of items I want to bring over are general household items (non electrical), soft furnishings, clothes, jewellery etc.

Thanks for the website I'll check it out

And it depends if its removals as well. "Importing" is different from moving van contents.

Thumb rule = out of EU, add 22% VAT.
