3 things you should consider when setting up a supply chain base in Estonia

Although 3PLogistiikka Group is a Finnish company, one of the company's logistics centers is located in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The e-commerce logistics service operated by our subsidiary Gogosend is an excellent choice in itself, but is there something else that makes Estonia worth considering for your business?

Estonia as jump-off point for your international business

Since regaining its independence in early 1990’s, Estonia has become a rapidly growing, forward-looking and business-friendly country. As a result, Estonia of today is seen as a potential base for many European companies with markets in Baltics, Nordic countries as well as Central and Southern Europe.

There are number of reasons for Estonia’s attention-grabbing appeal: As an example, the country has relatively little bureaucracy, and while the recent inflation impacting much of Western Hemisphere has affected also Estonia, the country has managed to maintain its reasonable cost levels well under control. Thirdly, Estonia has produced a government-issued identity program, “E-residency”, which allows non-Estonians start an EU-based business online, anywhere in the world.

Another benefit of European Union membership is access to the Schengen free trade area, which streamlines customs and tax processing. While registration with the local VAT authority in Estonia is mandatory, the EU's One Stop Shop (OSS) system allows businesses to easily report VAT on all cross-border B2C sales in a single EU country.

From a logistics standpoint, all of this creates a good setting for companies planning to centralize their supply chain hub in the region.
