Importing Personal Effects

Since the UK has left the EU, new customs regulations apply for shipments between the UK and EU countries. All goods shipped from the UK to the EU must clear customs upon arrival. It’s essential to have the necessary customs documents ready to avoid delays and additional charges.

To assist you, City Moving & Storage can provide guidance on which forms and supporting documentation you will need. However, please note that the responsibility for completing and submitting these customs forms to us for approval lies with the customer. It’s advisable to prepare all formalities in advance of your move to ensure a smooth transportation process.

    Motor Vehicles

    Importing motor vehicles to Norway requires compliance with local regulations, and duty and tax are likely to apply. Customs clearance must be handled by the owner of the vehicle. Additionally, shipping right-hand drive vehicles is not recommended due to potential challenges with registration and compliance. It’s best to consult with customs authorities or a specialist for guidance on the process.
