When considering moving to the UK and bringing any of your goods with you, you must ensure you declare all goods entering the UK to HMRC. You will need a customs clearance agent UK to submit an import customs clearance declaration for you on your behalf.
Your customs clearance agent UK will point you in the direction of the GOV.UK website, where you can apply for a Transfer of Residence (TOR). You can also ask your customs clearance agent UK to do this on your behalf if you need to, your customs clearance agent UK will write a Letter of Authority to sign to be able to apply for this on your behalf, along with a list of items you are bringing to the UK. For example, if you are bringing in a vehicle, you will need the Year, Make, Model, VIN Number, Registration Plate Number, Purchase Date, and Registration Certificate.
Your customs clearance agent UK will also ask you for the below documentation and information to be able to process the import customs clearance for you:
• A copy of your passport – If you are a Military Service Member, you will need to provide your customs clearance agent UK with a copy of your NATO Orders.
• Proof of your new UK address, either as a bank statement, utility bill, mortgage or rental agreement.
• If you don’t have an address in the UK yet, you can get a statement from whom you will be living with and proof of their address or give a form of evidence of your temporary accommodation such as a hotel or temporary accommodation for service members.
It is important you provide your customs clearance agent UK with as much detail as possible for them to submit the application on your behalf, once the application has been submitted, it cannot be amended.
Your customs clearance agent UK will ensure they request any missing information from you before they proceed with processing the application for you.
Once the application has been approved, you will then receive a TOR Approval Letter, which you will need to provide a copy of to your customs clearance agent UK. Once the goods arrive in the UK, they will link your approved TOR status to your import customs clearance declaration using your individual reference number on the TOR Approval Letter.
Your customs clearance agent UK will then be able to clear the goods into free circulation within the UK and you move will be successful.
