Freight Transport to Finland — via Sweden to All of Scandinavia

The northernmost EU destination
Daily connections via Sweden

Goods Transport to Finland

For road freight, Finland is an EU destination reached via Sweden. From the Netherlands and Germany, our trucks drive through Denmark and Sweden and then cross to Finland by Baltic ferry (Stockholm–Turku or Travemünde–Helsinki) or overland around the Gulf of Bothnia. RBH Fracht coordinates the entire route — ferry scheduling included.

We arrange daily freight transport to all Finnish regions — from Helsinki and the south coast to Tampere, Oulu and the north. Expect a delivery time of 3 to 5 working days for most shipments, depending on the chosen route and the ferry schedule.

As an EU member state, Finland offers free movement of goods and the euro: no customs formalities and no currency conversion on your invoice. That makes Finland administratively simpler than Norway (customs) and even than Sweden or Denmark, which use their own krona.

Your advantages for transport to Finland

Route via Sweden arranged

We plan the complete corridor through Denmark and Sweden, including the Baltic ferry or the overland route around the Gulf of Bothnia. You never have to deal with the crossing yourself.

No customs formalities

Finland is an EU member. Goods from the Netherlands or Germany cross the border without customs checks, import duties or additional documents — and Finland invoices in euros.

Settlement in euros

Unlike Sweden or Denmark, Finland uses the euro. No currency risk or exchange rate on your export invoice — administratively the simplest Scandinavian destination.

Flexible load types

From 1 pallet to a full truck (FTL). Part loads (LTL/groupage) available for smaller volumes — you pay only for your share of the truck.

Express to Helsinki

Urgent shipments are loaded with priority onto the next available ferry. Express to Helsinki and the south coast is typically achievable within 3 to 4 working days.

Personal contact

Direct communication with a dedicated contact, no call centre. You are proactively kept informed about the status of your shipment to Finland.

What we arrange for you

Road freight to Helsinki and all of Finland

Our trucks drive through Denmark and Sweden and cross to Finland via the Baltic ferry or the overland route along the Gulf of Bothnia. Helsinki, Turku and the south coast are reached fastest; we also serve Tampere, Oulu and northern Finland regularly with GPS-tracked, modern vehicles.

Available vehicles: standard trailer, tautliner, mega-trailer, refrigerated trailer and flatbed transport.

Part loads (LTL / groupage) to Finland

For companies that don't need a full truck, we offer groupage transport to Finland. Your pallets are consolidated with other cargo on the same truck — a cost-efficient solution that makes a real difference on the longer Finland route for smaller shipments to Helsinki, Tampere or Turku.

Available from 1 pallet. You pay only for the volume and weight your cargo occupies on the truck.

Express to Finland

In a hurry? We load urgent shipments with priority onto the next Baltic ferry and handle them with the highest priority. Express to Helsinki and the south coast is typically achievable within 3 to 4 working days, despite the sea crossing.

Refrigerated transport to Finland

We transport temperature-sensitive products — fresh food, dairy, pharmaceuticals — in certified refrigerated trailers to Finnish customers. The temperature stays constant and controlled throughout the entire route, including the ferry crossing.

EU member & eurozone
No customs, no currency conversion

Finland & the single market

Finland is an EU member and part of the eurozone and the single market. For goods from the Netherlands or Germany no customs formalities apply:

  • No import duties — free movement of goods
  • No T1 transit documents or EUR.1 certificates required
  • Standard CMR waybill is sufficient
  • No border checks for goods
  • Finland uses the euro (EUR) — no currency conversion on your invoice

The route does pass through several countries and across the sea, but that does not change the customs-free status: the entire corridor Netherlands–Germany– Denmark–Sweden–Finland lies within the EU. RBH Fracht handles the logistics and the ferry from A to Z.

Answers to your questions

Frequently asked questions about freight to Finland

How long does freight transport to Finland take from the Netherlands?

Expect on average 3 to 5 working days from the Netherlands or Germany. The route runs through Denmark and Sweden, followed by a Baltic ferry crossing or the overland route around the Gulf of Bothnia. The exact delivery time depends on the destination in Finland and the ferry schedule.

How does RBH Fracht reach Finland — by ferry or overland?

Both routes are possible. For Helsinki and the south coast we usually use the ferry (Stockholm–Turku or Travemünde–Helsinki). For northern Finland, the overland route via Sweden around the Gulf of Bothnia (Haparanda–Tornio) can be more favourable. We choose the fastest and most cost-efficient option per shipment.

Is customs clearance required for transport to Finland?

No. Finland is an EU member, meaning goods from the Netherlands or Germany cross the border without customs formalities. No T1 documents, EUR.1 certificates or import duties. The ferry crossing within the EU does not change this — a standard CMR waybill is sufficient.

What currency does Finland use for invoicing?

Finland uses the euro. Unlike Sweden (SEK) and Denmark (DKK), there is no currency conversion or exchange-rate risk on your export invoice, making Finland the administratively simplest Scandinavian destination. Read more about selecting a suitable carrier in our guide on how to choose a freight broker.

Can I send a single pallet to Finland?

Absolutely. Via our groupage service you can ship from 1 pallet to Finland. You pay only for the volume and weight your cargo occupies — a cost-efficient solution for smaller, regular shipments, especially on the longer Finland route.

What are the costs for freight transport to Finland?

The price depends on volume, weight, type of cargo, the chosen route (ferry or overland) and desired delivery time. Because the route is longer than to Denmark or Sweden, consolidation and planning play a bigger role. Request a quote via our contact form — response within 1 working day.
