Statute overview

About this statute

The Customs Service exists for customs operations, is under the Ministry of Finance, covers the whole country, is led by a Director General, and the Government appoints that Director General. The Customs service must carry out customs clearance, tax and customs supervision tasks, crime prevention/detection, statistics, lab work, and other assigned customs duties. The Ministry of Finance may assign certain investigation, trial, control, planning, and similar tasks to Customs. Customs units have their names, activity areas, and main tasks set by regulation of the Council of State. Tullen must organize its work so that services and language rights are provided, must have a customs office in Åland, and decides on the other customs offices; the Council of State issues rules for customs offices at the land border. Tullen and its units have work orders that set out more detailed rules on organisation, units, tasks, and how they are organised.
