International letters and postcards

Posti sends Priority letters from Finland to the destination country on the following weekday or with the next available connection.

Economy letters leave Finland within a week of mailing. The items are delivered to the recipients based on the delivery times in the destination country.

Priority


Use an international no-value indicator stamp when sending a Priority letter or postcard weighing less than 20 g from Finland to abroad.

Economy

You can use a domestic no-value indicator stamp to send an international letter or postcard weighing less than 20 g in the Economy class. The price is the same.

Please note! Remember to mark “Priority” or “Economy” on the envelope either with a label or by writing!


You can also use other stamps on your international letters, but remember to check their value to ensure that you have the right number of stamps. The prices for all items are in the currently effective price list.

Take Priority and Economy letters to a mailbox of a postal outlet. Find the nearest mailbox. Take a Maxi Letter to a postal outlet, if it does not fit in a mailbox.

Always take the following to a postal outlet:

• Exprès letter

• Registered letter

• Insured item

Priority

You can send a letter weighing under 20 g abroad with a domestic no-value indicator stamp by adding a value stamp of EUR 0.10.

Economy

Please note! Remember to mark “Priority” or “Economy” on the envelope either with a label or by writing!

Did you know that many ordinary products, such as nail polishes and perfumes, are easily flammable? Flammable items should not be sent by post.

Your item must not contain dangerous goods, objects or other prohibited substances.

If you want to send cash, securities, precious metals, jewels or other valuables, send them as an insured item. Insured items go through special security handling.

Check the country-specific bans and restrictions before sending items abroad.

Write the address according to the common practice in the destination country. However, always write the country name in CAPITAL LETTERS. See the country-specific instructions. Select the recipient’s country in the menu below “Postal addressing systems in member countries and/or territories”.
