Moving to Finland is easy, but another hurdle is getting your belongings to the country. Cars can be shipped to Finland when you relocate. You should, in general, be exempt from import duties for vehicles that are at least six months. Your car must meet Finnish and E.U. environmental and safety regulations. Once imported, it will have to have Finnish automobile insurance. Cars and other vehicles sent to Finland are registered to the visa holder or the returning Finnish citizen. Finland allows for the import of vehicles up to six years old. Like your household goods and personal effects, anything you send to Finland should be at least half a year old. Please note that Finland has not yet enacted very stringent European regulations for automobile emissions. We recommend that you check this, as it might change at any point, making the import of some models impractical. Emigrating to Finland can be an amazing experience once you have crossed all your T's and dotted all I's.
