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

If you’re relocating from the UK, USA, or another non-EU country, your household goods can be imported duty-free under certain conditions:

✅ You must have lived outside the EU for at least 12 continuous months
✅ Your belongings must have been used by you for at least 6 months
✅ You must now have permanent residence in Estonia
✅ Import must take place within 12 months of your move to Estonia

Required documents include:

• A full, valued inventory list in English

• A copy of your passport

• Proof of non-EU residence for the past 12 months

• A work or residence permit issued by Estonian authorities

• A letter of employment in Estonia

• A Power of Attorney for customs clearance

At Mercia Movers, we gather, prepare, and present everything to the Estonian Customs Office, saving you time and avoiding costly errors.

Estonian Citizens Returning Home? We’ve Got You Too

If you’re an Estonian national returning after time abroad, you can also qualify for duty-free import, provided you:

• Lived outside the EU for more than 12 months

• Provide proof of your time abroad (such as work permits, leases, utility bills, or employer letters)

Estonian Customs may request extra verification—so we’ll make sure all your documentation is spot-on before your goods hit the port or airport.

Shipping to Estonia: What You Can (and Can’t) Bring

✅ Allowed Duty-Free (with proper documentation):

• Used personal effects (furniture, electronics, kitchenware)

• Personal items, artwork, and books

• Pets (see section below)

• Vehicles (with some conditions)

• Plants (with permits)

🚫 Restricted or Prohibited Items Include:

• Alcohol (not allowed in household goods—only diplomats can import with justification)

• Narcotics or medicines requiring special permits

• Firearms and ammunition (prohibited unless licensed)

• Pornographic materials

• Excessive quantities of new items

Your items must be used and clearly inventoried. No vague terms like “miscellaneous” or “PBO” (Packed by Owner)—Estonian Customs likes clarity, and so do we.

Vehicles: Shipping Your Car or Bike to Estonia

Yes, you can bring your car—but it must meet these conditions:

• You’ve owned and used it for at least 6 months prior to your move

• You’ve lived outside the EU for 12+ months

• The car is included as part of your duty-free relocation

Documents required:

• Original technical passport/registration documents

• Proof of residence abroad

• Work permit and employment letter in Estonia

• Power of Attorney for customs handling

Our team will coordinate shipping, customs entry, and onward delivery to your new address in Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu, or beyond.

Pets, Plants & Other Special Items

Bringing your dog, cat, or feathered friend? You’ll need:

• A valid veterinary certificate from the country of origin

• Proof of vaccinations, especially rabies

• Identification (microchip or tattoo)

Good news: there’s no quarantine under normal circumstances, and your pet can enter duty-free!

Want to bring your garden with you? That’s trickier. Plants and plant products must come with a phytosanitary certificate and pass inspection by Estonia’s Plant Protection Board.
