Shipping to Turku
Turku, Finland's oldest city, lies on the south-west coast facing the Archipelago Sea and has ferry and cargo links to Sweden. It serves south-western Finland, including Salo, Rauma and the Åland Islands route.
Practical tips. Turku's universities and its shipyard, which builds some of the world's largest cruise ships, bring international staff to the city. Household goods are cleared under the EU transfer-of-residence relief with an inventory and proof of residence.
The Åland Islands are part of Finland but outside the EU VAT area, so tell us if your goods are going there. Choose Turku over Helsinki for consignees in Varsinais-Suomi and Satakunta. Swedish is also an official language in the region, and many local agents speak English.
Turku's cathedral and castle are among the oldest buildings in Finland, and the city is a short drive from the archipelago's summer cottages.
