Export Car to Finland – RDW Recognized Export Office in Hengelo
Looking to export a car from the Netherlands to Finland? Auto Export Document in Hengelo prepares every Dutch export paper you need for the long journey to Finland. As an EU member state Finland charges no import duties, but it does apply a national car tax (autovero) at registration. Finnish buyers appreciate the mileage-honest, well-maintained profile of Dutch used cars. We arrange the RDW export certificate, deregistration, proof of discharge and, if you drive the car north, export insurance with white export plates.
Why export a car from the Netherlands to Finland?
Finland is a full EU member, so there are no import duties or customs formalities on a Dutch vehicle. On registration, however, the buyer pays the Finnish car tax (autovero), which is based on the vehicle's value and CO2 emissions.
Registration in Finland is handled by Traficom, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency. The buyer presents the Dutch RDW export certificate, the purchase invoice and valid ID, and a roadworthiness inspection (katsastus) is required before the car can be plated.
Finland lies far to the north-east. The practical route from Hengelo runs through Germany and Poland into the Baltic states, then across the Baltic Sea by ferry (for example Tallinn–Helsinki). Total driving plus ferry covers roughly ±1,900 km to Helsinki.
