Importing a car to Finland
A car imported from abroad can be good value, but car tax and bureaucracy must be taken into account before you buy. This guide goes through the import steps so that your car does not end up standing idle because of paperwork.
You will need
- The car's foreign registration documents and the bill of sale
- A certificate of conformity (CoC), if available
- Information on the car's emissions and first registration date
