Finnish trade and import-export trends

Overview

Finland’s trade landscape has seen significant shifts in both export and import sectors. In the second quarter of 2026, total exports of goods and services reached a record 34.6 billion euros, a 15% increase from the previous year. This growth was driven by goods, particularly a 25% surge in exports to the United States, which included the delivery of a 1.9 billion euro cruise ship.

Conversely, the import sector experienced a sharp contraction in specific areas. Low-value e-commerce shipments from outside the EU to Finland fell by 76.3% in July compared to the previous year. This decline followed the removal of duty-free status for shipments under 150 euros. Officials noted that these regulatory changes, supported by EU-level policy shifts, aim to level the playing field for domestic retailers. This trend was further reflected in a 17% decrease in web traffic to Chinese marketplaces between January and July.
