Customs clearance of arriving goods begins by submitting an AREX declaration

An electronic entry summary declaration or summary declaration for temporary storage must be submitted to the AREX system for all goods entering Finland, except goods in transit.
The AREX system was introduced in stages beginning in December 2009. The transitional periods for arriving goods ended in July 2011, when 103 369 declarations in total were processed by the system.
