Moving from Outside the EU? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’re relocating to Denmark from the UK, USA, Canada, or another non-EU country, your household goods may qualify for duty-free import—but only if you meet a few conditions:

✅ You must be taking up residence in Denmark
✅ The items must have been owned and used by you for at least 6 months
✅ You must import them within 12 months of your arrival
✅ You must be registered as a resident before the shipment arrives

You’ll need to provide:

• A customs declaration form

• An itemised inventory in English

• A copy of your passport

• A matching name on both the Bill of Lading and air waybill

Returning Danes must prove they lived outside the EU for at least 12 months to qualify for the same exemptions.

Mercia Movers will guide you through every step, making sure the forms are complete and the rules followed. No guesswork, no delays.

From EU to Denmark? It’s Smoother (But Not Automatic)

EU citizens enjoy easier entry—but customs still requires proper documentation. You’ll need proof of your residency, an inventory of your items, and evidence the goods are personal and used—not new or commercial.

New items are subject to duty and VAT (25%), so it’s best to leave those online shopping splurges until after you arrive.

Cars, Motorbikes & More

Yes, you can bring your car to Denmark—but be prepared.

To qualify for duty-free import, your vehicle must:

• Have been owned and registered abroad for at least 6 months

• Be part of your personal move

• Not be sold, rented, or pawned within 12 months of arrival

Even if it qualifies for duty-free entry, you’ll still need to pay the Danish registration tax—which is known to be quite high.

You’ll also need:

• Original registration documents

• Proof of insurance

• Your personal presence at a local Danish office for registration

We’ll help you through the entire process—from paperwork to pickup.

What About Pets?

Denmark is a pet-loving country, and yes, you can bring your dog or cat. Here’s what’s needed:

• A health certificate (no more than 1 month old)

• Proof of rabies vaccination (between 3 weeks and 12 months old)

• A tattoo or microchip for identification

Healthy pets from most countries can enter without quarantine, but certain countries require a rabies antibody test first. We’ll confirm what’s needed for your specific move and help arrange safe, comfortable transport for your furry friend.

What Not to Pack

🚫 Some items are restricted or not worth the hassle. Here’s what to avoid:

• Alcohol and tobacco – subject to duty and VAT, even in small quantities

• Food and tinned goods – discouraged, likely to cause delays

• Firearms or ammunition – prohibited unless you hold a Ministry of Justice licence

• Gold and silver bars – not allowed

• Plants – only permitted with a phytosanitary certificate and licence

• Dangerous items – like explosives, flammables, or narcotics – strictly prohibited

Packing tip: avoid vague inventory terms like “miscellaneous” or “PBO” (packed by owner). Danish customs wants clarity—and we make sure your list checks out.
