Information about service

If you plan to export foodstuffs or other products of animal or plant origin, check the requirements of export from the country of destination and ensure that your company and product fulfil those requirements. Find out whether you will need an export certificate for the export. If a certificate is required, find out well in advance what type of certificate you will need and which authority you can get it from.

Submit all the required documents to the issuing authority in a timely manner. Once the corresponding authority has issued an export certificate, the certificate must be sent to the country of destination together with the export consignment. The certificate will be checked in the country of destination as part of the border formalities.

The products that require an export certificate for foodstuffs and other products of animal and plant origin include, for example, foodstuffs, animals, embryos, gametes, plants, wood products, feed, fertilizers and by-products.

If the trader is established in another EEA state and provides services in Finland on a temporary basis, they are required to have the same permits as the traders established in Finland.
