Shipping From the EU? It’s Pretty Straightforward.

Good news if you’re relocating from an EU country: Cyprus allows duty-free import of your used household goods and personal effects. Here’s what you’ll need:

• A T2L document from your origin country (or a status C bill of lading)

• A copy of your passport

• A detailed packing list

• For vehicles, the original registration documents

Whether your shipment arrives by air at Larnaca Airport or by sea at Limassol Port, we’ll coordinate everything—just make sure your paperwork’s in order, and let us handle the rest.

Shipping from a Non-EU Country? No Problem.

If you’re relocating from the UK, USA, Australia, or elsewhere outside the EU, the process is more involved—but we’ve got you covered.

To import your household items duty-free, you must prove:

• You haven’t lived in Cyprus more than 365 days in the past two years

• You’re transferring residence to Cyprus

• Your goods are used personal belongings, not new or commercial items

The documentation includes:

• A termination of residence from your previous home (e.g. rental agreement, sale of home)

• Utility bills and pay slips from the last 12 months

• A letter from your previous employer or retirement proof

• Proof of local employment or residency in Cyprus (work permit, job offer, local bank account)

Yes—it’s a lot of documents. But don’t panic. We guide you through every form, translation, and customs requirement, step by step.

What You Can Bring (and What to Leave Behind)

✅ Permitted duty-free (with conditions):

• Used furniture and household items

• Kitchenware, clothes, books, electronics (if owned for 6+ months)

• Cars or bikes (see conditions below)

• A reasonable amount of canned or dry food

🚫 Restricted or taxed items include:

• New items or anything owned for less than 6 months

• Alcohol (subject to duty and VAT based on quantity and type)

• Non-CE-marked appliances (they may be confiscated)

• Firearms, narcotics, pornographic materials, and plants

• Drones, jet skis, and raw materials (ask us before packing these)

Every shipment is subject to inspection, especially at Limassol Port, so clearly labelling and accurately listing your items is essential.

Shipping Your Car to Cyprus? Read This First.

Yes, you can bring your car—but conditions apply.

For EU-origin vehicles, no duty or VAT is charged if:

• The car is at least 6 months old

• It was registered for 6 months and driven at least 6,000 km

For non-EU vehicles, you’ll need:

• Proof of ownership

• Registration documents

• Driving license

• Import permission based on your residence status

If you’re not eligible for duty-free import, you may have to pay 10% duty + 19% VAT. Vehicles over 5 years old from non-EU countries that don’t meet compliance may not be registered in Cyprus—so check with us before you ship.

Motorbikes and off-road vehicles are also subject to regulations and may require a Certificate of Conformity.

What About Pets?

Your furry friends are welcome in Cyprus! You’ll need:

• A pet passport

• Microchip ID

• Valid rabies vaccination certificate

• A health certificate

Pets may be inspected by a veterinary official upon entry, so notify us early—we’ll help you prep their travel and paperwork.
