Air cargo from the UK to Finland
Finnish families, students and businesses send belongings and cargo.
Goldcross Cargo in Hayes, near Heathrow, sends air cargo and excess baggage from anywhere in the UK to Finland. Shipments arrive at Helsinki (HEL).
Good to know for Finland
Helsinki is Finland’s main air cargo gateway.
Finland is in the European Union, so everything sent from Great Britain goes through EU customs: a full packing list and customs declaration are needed, and the receiver may pay import VAT and, on some goods, duty. People moving to Finland for good can often claim relief on their used personal belongings (transfer of residence) — the receiver applies to the local customs office.
What people send to Finland
Suitcases and boxes of personal effects, gifts, household goods, documents and commercial consignments of any size — from a single box to a full household.
Guides: clothes · food · medicines · phones & laptops · moving abroad · student baggage.
