Navigating UK Customs After Brexit
All personal belongings entering the UK from Spain are treated as imports. To import your household items tax-free, you must secure a Transfer of Residence (ToR1) certificate from HMRC in advance.
It can take HMRC up to 3 weeks to process your ToR1 application. We strongly recommend securing your approved certificate before locking in your collection date.
Required Customs Checklist:
- HMRC ToR1 Certificate: Your approved tax exemption certificate.
- Valued Inventory Packing List: A detailed spreadsheet of all items. We will provide a simple Excel template to help you complete this.
- ID Verification: A high-resolution photo copy of your passport photo page.
- Residency Proofs: Proof of address in Spain spanning the past 12 months (e.g., Spanish utility bills, padrón, or rental agreements) and proof of your new destination address in the UK.
Spain to UK Removals Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does the journey from Spain to the UK take?
- Can I transport my belongings if I don’t have my ToR1 certificate yet?
- Are there extra fees for narrow Spanish streets or apartment stairs?
- Can I transport wine, olive oil, or household plants back to the UK?
Dedicated full loads are highly direct, typically taking 2 to 3 working days (and occasionally as fast as it depending on routing). Shared part-load services take 3 to 5 days because we coordinate multiple collections and deliveries along the route.
We strongly advise waiting until HMRC issues your ToR1 certificate before we collect. Shipping without it means your goods can be held at the border, incurring significant customs import VAT (~20%), duties, and storage penalties.
Our drivers are happy to assist with loading for up to 2 hours for free. However, if your property has highly challenging access—such as narrow village roads where our truck cannot park, walk-ups with no lift, or long carrying distances—additional labour charges starting from £50 may apply. Please let us know about any access challenges when booking
While olive oil is allowed, strict post-Brexit regulations prohibit us from carrying plants, soil, alcohol, tobacco, or perishable foodstuffs. Please ensure these are excluded from your boxes.
