What You Need to Move to the UK

If you’re moving to the UK from outside the EU, there are customs regulations to follow—but the good news is, you may be able to import your personal belongings duty- and tax-free under the UK’s Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief.

To qualify, you’ll need to show:

• Proof you’ve lived outside the UK for 12 months or more

• You’re moving your main residence to the UK

• The goods are used and for personal use (not resale)

• Items are imported within 12 months of arriving in the UK

You must apply online for ToR approval before your shipment arrives. Once granted, you’ll receive a unique reference number for customs clearance. Don’t worry—we’ll help guide you through the application process.

If you’re moving from within the EU, customs requirements are more straightforward, but declarations and paperwork are still required post-Brexit.

What Can You Bring?

✅ Allowed (with ToR approval):

• Used household goods and furniture

• Clothing and personal items

• Kitchen equipment and décor

• Books, bicycles, and electronics

• Cars and pets (with conditions)

🚫 Restricted or prohibited items:

• New items or those bought less than 6 months ago

• Alcohol and tobacco (subject to duty)

• Weapons, ammunition, or replica firearms

• Certain plants, seeds, and food items

• Counterfeit goods or copyrighted media

We’ll help you create a compliant inventory and pack your items according to UK customs requirements.
