Submit a goods transport operator's notification

You need to submit a goods transport operator’s notification if you engage in the transport of goods in mainland Finland with a vehicle other than a bus, and the total mass of the vehicle or combination that you are using exceeds 2,500 kg but not 3,500 kg.

On 25 June 2024, there have been changes in the legislation regarding the operation of goods transport.

The European Union’s sanctions package against Russia and Belarus prohibits companies established in the EU that are 25% or more under Russian or Belarus ownership from becoming road transport companies. This means that Traficom will not grant a goods transport licence to an operator whose share of Russian or Belarus owners exceeds the threshold set in the sanctions regulation.

From 26 July 2024, the ban will also apply to all transport companies with the said (Russian) ownership structure and from 2 August 2024 to all transport companies with the said (Belarus) ownership structure that were established in the EU after 8 April 2022. These companies will no longer be allowed to transport goods within the EU or in transit through EU countries. 

The ban does not apply to road transport companies established in the EU at least 25% owned by Russian or Belarus nationals who are also nationals of a Member State or hold a temporary or permanent residence permit in a Member State.

On request, the transport company must provide proof of its ownership structure.

The amendment of the sanctions regulation (EU) N:o 833/2014 was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 24 June 2024 and it has entered into force on 25 June 2024. The amendment of the sanctions regulation (EG) N:o 765/2006 was published in the Official Journal of the EU and it has entered into force on 30 June 2024.

The European Union’s sanctions package against Russia and Belarus prohibits companies established in the EU that are 25% or more under Russian or Belarus ownership from becoming road transport companies. This means that Traficom will not grant a goods transport licence to an operator whose share of Russian or Belarus owners exceeds the threshold set in the sanctions regulation.

Submit a goods transport operator's notification

You can submit a goods transport operator's notification online in My e-Services under the section road traffic transport licences.

In matters related to transport operations, a natural person selects ‘Personal services’, while a legal person should choose ‘Acting on behalf of a company/an organisation’. This means that a natural person as an applicant or a licence holder always acts as an individual, not as a representative of their company operating under a business name. Only a person with the right to represent the transport company either with an authorisation or without a separate authorisation based on their role recorded in the Finnish Trade Register may act on behalf of a company in the service.

The prerequisite for making the registration entry concerning the notification is that the service provider must either be a natural person with a business ID or a legal person.

The notification fee of EUR 60 is paid in the service. The payment will not be returned even if the notification could not be entered into the register or the application is cancelled.
