WRTC2002 has informed the Finnish Customs about our radio sport activity
where the passenger carries with him a transceiver and a PC, which most
often are used ones.
The contact person set by WRTC is Jorma Saloranta OH2KI, in case there is
needed support at the moment of import. OH2KI's phone is +358 50 5142 111.
Finland uses the general Temporary Import Law which applies to all 15 EU
countries.
If the passenger wants to fill the form for importing the goods temporary,
the form on PDF-format is available here http://europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_customs/customs/law/reform_customs/reform
.htm
[PDF-file locally at WRTC2002 here]; all customs offices have
the same form available also in paper format.
European Customs authority says:
"Temporary importation means that goods may be used in the Community
without payment of duty or VAT under certain conditions and re-exported
afterwards in the same state as they were in at import.
Oral, rather than paper, declarations can be made for certain types of
goods. However, the customs authorities may require a written inventory or
list to support the oral declaration. A form exists which can be used for
this purpose."

WRTC2002 is offering a special arrangement for excess weight when using Scandinavian Airlines (SAS ) and those arrangements can be
made directly with the closest SAS ticket office. This option has been communicated to WRTC2002 participants earlier.
It is agreed that SAS will do their utmost to facilitate the excess package.
