Supporting European Moves

If you are moving to the UK from Europe, organising the safe transport of your household belongings will be at the forefront of your mind. Our European removals service provides reliable door-to-door removals from Europe to the UK, ensuring that your belongings are collected from your home, transported safely across borders, and delivered directly to your new property in the UK.

We also provide secure storage solutions, giving you additional flexibility if your moving dates do not perfectly align.

Reliable, Professional Removals Across Europe

Our team handles the secure loading and transport of your belongings, and can provide assistance with customs documentation where required. Once your goods arrive in the UK, they will delivered directly to your new address or stored in our warehouse depending on the service selected or your personal requirements. Where possible, we will try to arrange the same team for both collection and delivery.

Moving with GB Liners allows you to avoid unnecessary stress and ensures that your belongings are transported safely and efficiently throughout the journey. With years of experience under our belts, a high standard of in-house training for our moving team, and accreditation from FIDI and other industry associations, you can be at ease knowing your items are safe with us.

UK Customs When Moving from Europe

Since the UK left the European Union following Brexit, household goods transported from European countries into the UK must go through the appropriate customs procedures.

When your belongings are imported into the UK on a transfer of residence basis, we require documentation including a detailed inventory of your household goods, proof of identity, and a transfer of residence approval letter (more information below).

Our team has experience managing European moves and can advise on the preparation of the necessary documentation to help ensure that your belongings move through customs as smoothly as possible.

Transfer of Residence (ToR) Relief

If you are returning to live in the UK permanently, you may qualify for Transfer of Residence relief, which allows you to bring personal belongings and household goods into the UK without paying import duty or VAT.

To qualify for this relief, you will normally need to demonstrate that you have lived outside the UK for at least twelve consecutive months and that you are transferring your normal place of residence back to the country. In most cases, the belongings being imported must have been owned and used by you for at least six months before the move, and you must intend to continue using them after arriving in the UK.
