Deliveries of goods to International Organizations and delivery of certain goods to vessels and aircraft

Deliveries of goods to International Organizations (e.g., NATO and UN)

Deliveries of goods from Finland to international organizations are declared in Intrastat (dispatches). In such cases, the country of destination must be specified as QV (Countries and territories not specified within the framework of intra-Union trade).

For example: Goods are sent from Finland to a NATO base location in Germany. The transaction is declared as dispatch from Finland to Germany and the code for country of destination is QV in the Intrastat declaration.

Trade with international organizations within a Member State’s territory is not declared if the goods move within Finland’s borders and do not physically cross the Finnish borders.

Delivery of certain goods to vessels and aircraft (victualling supplies)

Certain goods delivered to vessels and aircraft of another Member State (other than Finland) are included in the foreign trade statistics. These goods include products for the crew and passengers, and for the operation of the engines, machines and other equipment of vessels or aircraft, such as foodstuffs as well as fuels and lubricants.

Please note: Goods delivered to vessels and aircraft, however, will not be declared using the Intrastat declaration. The statistical data on these goods will be retrieved through a separate procedure. Read more: https://arkisto.tulli.fi/en/businesses/export/ship-supply-procedure.
