Finland sets deadline for export of Russian-registered cars

In a move aligning with European Union Commission guidelines, Finland has imposed a ban on the import of passenger cars registered in Russia since September 16, 2023. The Finnish authorities have now set a deadline of March 16, 2024, for the export of such vehicles that were brought into the country before the ban took effect. This regulation, however, exempts cars owned by EU citizens residing permanently in Russia and diplomatic vehicles. Additionally, buses with a capacity of more than 10 passengers are still permitted entry into Finland.
