Finland Removes the Obligation to Submit Intrastat Arrivals from January 2026

Finland will introduce major Intrastat changes from the 2026 statistical year. The most important update is the removal of the obligation to submit Intrastat arrivals declarations. This measure is expected to reduce the reporting burden for Finnish businesses by up to 70%.

End of Intrastat Arrivals Reporting

From January 2026, companies will no longer need to file Intrastat arrivals in Finland. The last arrivals declaration will be for period December 2025, due on 16 January 2026, with corrections accepted until 14 August 2026.

Going forward, Finland will compile import statistics using export microdata received from other EU Member States. As a result, the Intrastat obligation will apply only to dispatches, and the annual reporting threshold for dispatches remains EUR 800,000. Finnish Customs will continue to review thresholds each year.

Businesses currently reporting both flows will only need to submit dispatch declarations from 2026 onwards. Learn more in the official note published by the .
