Documents necessary to move to Sweden:
From January 1, 2021, relocations from the UK to Sweden require completing the Transfer of Residence procedure in order to avoid import VAT (25% of the total value) on the property transferred to Sweden. To obtain the Transfer of Residence status, it is necessary to prepare eight documents, but to transport your belongings we will need three of them:
• Copy of ID card or passport;
• A certificate issued by the local government in Sweden confirming your place of residence, or if an EU customs agent agrees, then you only need to provide a document confirming that you are an EU resident or intend to become one;
• A detailed bill of lading with the value, size and weight of each item listed;
• British residence certificate DOWNLOAD THE DOCUMENT or other evidence that you have lived in the UK for at least the last 12 months (e.g. 12 months of council tax bills or bank statements showing your address);
• A declaration to the customs authorities that you have used the household items at your usual place of residence in the UK for more than six months and that you will not sell, rent or pawn them once you receive them in your new place, and that you intend to remain an EU resident for at least one year;
• Completed customs duty exemption declaration DOWNLOAD THE DECLARATION
• Signed authorization for the customs clearance agent to act on your behalf.

Print and sign all required documents and have them ready for the driver before collecting your property and, for safety, also send them electronically.

Another important document is the CMR form, which our driver will provide you to complete on the day of the move.

To speed up this process, you can contact your local customs office in Sweden.
You can find out more about bringing personal items into Sweden directly from the government websites.
