moving house

Moving your personal effects from one country to another because you are relocating or moving house can be difficult. Especially after Brexit. But completing your customs declaration doesn’t have to be. At CustomsLink, our expert team can help make this process simpler. 

Here’s everything you need to know about customs and your personal effects.

Exporting from GB

To fulfil your customs obligations when exporting from GB, you need to provide us with:

  • A comprehensive packing list including the full catalogue, quantities, and weights of items you will be transporting. 
  • The name and address of the exporter and importer. 
  • Your transport details, including the ferry route, date/s, times and vehicle details.

Once we have your details, we can begin to complete your customs declaration.

Importing to GB

When importing goods into the UK, you will need to provide us with the same information as with GB exports (see above), but you will also need to provide a HMRC-approved ToR01 form. If this is unavailable, then your customs taxes will be payable at the time of import.

Importing to & Exporting from IE

We can help you fulfil your customs obligations when importing or exporting goods to or from Ireland. To do this, we will need you to provide us with:

  • a ToR01 form approved by Irish Revenue (if importing to IE).
  • your PPS (Irish Personal Public Service) number (if importing to IE)
  • a ToR01 form approved by HMRC (if importing to GB). 
  • a packing list containing a full list of items, quantities and weights.
  • the name and address of the importer and exporter

We will also require your transport details, including the ferry route, IMO, date/s, times and vehicle details.
