Post-Brexit European Removals Done Right

Moving from the UK to Europe has become more complex since Brexit. Every shipment of household goods now requires UK export customs clearance and — in most cases — EU import customs procedures at your destination. Without the right paperwork, your belongings can be delayed at the border.

Our European removals team is experienced in post-Brexit customs requirements for every country we serve. We handle all documentation, manage the border crossing, and deliver your belongings door to door — so you can focus on starting your new life abroad.

Understanding Post-Brexit Customs

Since 1 January 2021, the UK is outside the EU customs union. Moving household goods from the UK to an EU country is now treated as an international export — requiring UK customs clearance and EU import clearance.

The good news is that most EU countries offer removal relief (also called transfer of residence relief) — allowing your personal belongings to be imported duty-free, provided you meet residency criteria and can provide the correct documentation.

Our team prepares all required paperwork including UK export declarations, destination country transfer-of-residence forms, and bilingual inventories — ensuring your move clears customs without delay.

UK Export Clearance

Required for all shipments leaving Great Britain. We submit export declarations on your behalf.

Transfer of Residence Relief

Duty-free import relief available to EU residents relocating. Criteria and paperwork vary by country.

Bilingual Inventory

A detailed inventory in English and the destination language is required for most European customs.

Four Destinations

France, Spain, Italy and Portugal each have their own customs detail. Our specialists advise on requirements for each.

European Removals — FAQs

Do I need to handle customs paperwork myself? +
No. We handle all UK export declarations and destination country import documentation on your behalf. Since Brexit, moving goods from the UK to EU countries requires customs clearance, but our specialists manage the entire process so you don't need to worry about it.
How long does a European removal take? +
Transit times vary by destination, by the crossing, and by whether the load travels dedicated or shared. France is the shortest run of the four and Portugal the longest. We confirm a realistic window for your own move when you book.
Are ferry or Eurotunnel costs included in my quote? +
Yes. All crossing costs — whether by ferry or Eurotunnel — are included in your fixed-price quote. Tolls on European motorways are also included. There are no hidden extras.
What insurance covers my belongings during a European move? +
All European removals include comprehensive goods-in-transit insurance covering the full journey from collection to delivery. This includes border crossings, ferry legs and any overnight storage en route.
Do you move outside those four countries? +
No. France, Spain, Italy and Portugal are the whole list, and every one of them is a road route our own crews drive end to end. If you are moving somewhere else we will say so plainly rather than quote for a route we do not run.
How far in advance should I book a European removal? +
We recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance for European moves. This allows time to arrange specialist vehicles, prepare customs documentation, and confirm the route and crew. That said, we can often accommodate moves at shorter notice — call us to discuss.
