Air, road, sea and Baltic ferry from Helsinki, HaminaKotka, Turku and Rauma to Turkey, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. We manage your exports end-to-end — factory to final destination.
Finland trades with the continent almost entirely across water. The Vuosaari harbour in Helsinki is the country's main gateway for containers and ro-ro traffic, Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL) handles the bulk of air cargo, HaminaKotka on the south-eastern coast is Finland's largest universal port and the main outlet for the forest industry, and Turku serves the ferry corridor to Stockholm. Frequent ferries to Tallinn and Travemünde put Finnish trailers on the continental road network overnight.
As part of the EU–Turkey Customs Union, most industrial goods move between Finland and Turkey free of customs duty with an A.TR certificate. From Finland, road freight reaches Turkey in 8–11 days — typically with a ferry leg to Tallinn and the Via Baltica corridor — air cargo reaches Istanbul in 1–2 days, and ocean freight from Helsinki runs roughly 16–22 days. Canxansa manages end-to-end shipments from Finnish factories — customs, freight and last-mile delivery under a single point of contact.
Express and standard air cargo from Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL), Finland's main air-cargo gateway and a strong transit hub between Europe and Asia, with additional uplift via Stockholm or Frankfurt when capacity or routing requires. Best for time-sensitive, high-value or small-volume shipments such as electronics, machinery parts and instruments. Door-to-door service including customs clearance at origin and destination.
FTL (full truck load) and LTL (part load / groupage) across Europe and to Turkey. Door-to-door service from any Finnish loading point, typically with a ferry leg to Tallinn or Travemünde and onward via the Via Baltica — ideal for the forest, machinery and electronics sectors. Tilt, mega and refrigerated trailers available, with A.TR handling for the Turkey corridor.
FCL and LCL ocean freight for Finnish exporters via Helsinki's Vuosaari harbour and HaminaKotka — Finland's largest universal port — plus Rauma on the west coast, with truck pre-carriage from your factory. Direct and transhipment services to Turkey, the Mediterranean, the Gulf, Asia and the Americas. 20' and 40' ISO containers — the most cost-effective option for large-volume and heavy consignments.
Ro-ro and ferry services carry Finnish trailers overnight to Tallinn, Stockholm and Travemünde, with short-sea container services across the Baltic. The Helsinki–Tallinn corridor is one of Europe's busiest ro-ro lanes and the natural first leg of the road route south. A cost-effective option for trailers, unaccompanied units and project cargo — combined with road legs at both ends. We confirm sailing schedules and equipment availability before booking.
Air freight from Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL) to Istanbul is the fastest option — typically 1–2 days door-to-door for express cargo. For full and part loads, road freight takes 8–11 days, typically crossing to Tallinn by ferry and following the Via Baltica through Poland and the Balkans to the Kapıkule border. Sea freight from Helsinki or HaminaKotka to Turkish ports runs roughly 16–22 days. Transit times are indicative and depend on routing and border conditions.
Road freight (FTL and LTL groupage) from Finland to Turkey typically takes 8–11 days, with a ferry leg from Helsinki to Tallinn or Travemünde and onward through Central Europe and the Balkans to the Kapıkule–Kapitan Andreevo border. Times are indicative and depend on the loading region in Finland, the Turkish destination, sailing schedules and border waiting times. Air freight is 1–2 days for urgent cargo; sea from Helsinki runs roughly 16–22 days.
Finland and Turkey both sit inside the EU–Turkey Customs Union for industrial and processed goods, which means most manufactured products move between the two countries free of customs duty with an A.TR movement certificate. This makes the Finland–Turkey corridor an efficient trade lane for Finnish machinery, paper and electronics products. Agricultural and ECSC (coal/steel) goods fall outside the Customs Union — we advise on the correct certificate (A.TR or EUR.1) for your cargo before you ship.
Air: Helsinki-Vantaa (HEL), Finland's main air-cargo gateway. Sea: Helsinki's Vuosaari harbour for containers and ro-ro, HaminaKotka — the country's largest universal port and the main outlet for the forest industry — plus Rauma on the west coast.

Yes. The Helsinki–Tallinn corridor is one of Europe's busiest ro-ro lanes and the natural first leg of the road route south; ferries also link Helsinki and Turku with Stockholm and Travemünde. Short-sea container services cross the Baltic for larger consignments and project cargo. We combine sailings with road legs at both ends and confirm schedules before booking.
Standard export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, HS classification, electronic export declaration via the EU customs system, and the transport document — CMR (road), bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air). For Turkey and other Customs Union movements you need an A.TR certificate; for goods outside it, a EUR.1 movement certificate. We advise on documentation and certificates before shipment.
Finland's leading exports include paper, pulp and board, industrial machinery, electronics, sawn timber and wood products, and steel. High-value or urgent cargo moves by air, full loads within Europe and to Turkey move by road with a Baltic ferry leg, and large-volume consignments move by sea from Helsinki or HaminaKotka.
