7.6 Dispensing of Pump Fuel
The pump fuel will be dispensed at petrol stations as directed in the road book for the non-priority drivers who
have indicated the use of it in their entry form. However, these drivers’ attention is drawn to the fact that the
locations of available petrol stations for the pump fuel are not given in the itinerary of the rally (Appendix 1.1)
and the distances from one refuel to the next are different from the ones given in the afore mentioned itinerary.
The distances between the pump fuel petrol stations are given in Appendix 1.4.
Competitors using pump fuel do not have to follow the route marked in the road book to visit the FIA fuel remote
refuel zones, as given above in Art. 7.5 - NB! Be careful to follow any instructions given by officials concerning
e.g. technical checks at the refuel zones. Please note shortening of road section distances as given in Art. 12.5.
The competitors using pump fuel are reminded to refuel their cars before the start of the rally for 25.06 km of
road section as the first official refuel point is on the road section between Start and SS 1. Also, please note that
there is no pump fuel in the Paviljonki Service Park, but you must always return to the Parc Fermé (and end-ofday
service) with enough fuel to reach the next refuelling in the following day.
Competitors who use pump fuel and retire from the rally, must refuel their car before reporting in the parc fermé
for re-start. Refuelling in the service park area is forbidden, please contact scrutineers for instructions.
The competitors using these petrol stations are kindly asked to pay attention to other customers as the stations
are open to public. The petrol stations have kindly promised the organiser to reserve at least one fuel pump
for competitors use to minimise queueing. Please be reminded to settle the payment immediately after each
refuelling at the petrol station till. Please take enough cash with you, in case your credit card should not work.
8. Import of Vehicles and Spare Parts
8.1 Competitors from the European Union
Competitors coming from the European Union do not need to make any special customs clearance. They may use
any vehicle in Finland for up to 6 months without clearing it, provided that the vehicle is not brought to Finland
with the intention of selling it. All vehicles need to have valid traffic insurance. Tyres and spare parts can also be
imported without clearance. It is always good to have a list of tools and equipment you bring into the country, in
case you will be asked to prove what you had with you on the way in.
8.2 Competitors from outside the European Union
Competitors coming from outside the European Union will have to report at the customs on their way in. Please
prepare a list of all the tools and equipment you are bringing with you. This list will be stamped at the customs
and they may collect a bond (the amount is negotiable). Tyres are liable to duty as they are non-durable goods.
The customs payment will be returned if the used tyres are exported from the country on the way out, as well as
the bond, if all equipment is exported.
For more accurate information, please contact the Finnish Customs Information Service at telephone: +358 20
690 601. All competitors coming from outside EU countries have to report at the customs!
