Will I have to pay customs charges on a Posti parcel from abroad?
Parcels arriving from outside the customs area may be subject to duties, VAT, or import charges. If charges apply, Posti or the customs authority will notify you. The parcel is released for delivery once any charges are paid and the customs declaration is complete.
