Finnish Customs (FC) plays a pivotal role in enforcing Finland’s customs laws and promoting global trade integrity. Over the years, FC has implemented numerous initiatives to combat counterfeit goods, reduce transnational crime, and enhance the efficiency of customs operations. With measures such as the publication of the Finnish Customs Tariff Handbook and an online customs declaration portal, FC has made strides in promoting transparency and accountability.
In addition to its domestic efforts, FC has bolstered international cooperation by partnering with neighboring customs agencies and participating in global workshops. Recent legal reforms, including the Customs and Excise (Amendment) Act of 2022, have empowered FC with advanced technologies and stricter penalties to improve enforcement. FC also prioritizes sustainable development, introducing green customs initiatives and energy-efficient systems. By streamlining processes with a single-window system, enhancing trade facilitation, and educating the public on the dangers of counterfeit goods, FC has strengthened its position as a leader in the global fight against transnational crime.
