Documents necessary to move to Italy:
Post-Brexit, UK to Italy moves require completing the Transfer of Residence procedure to avoid import VAT (22% total value) on the property being transferred.
As the Ban Trans team, we strive to make the entire moving process easier for you and for this purpose you will need to prepare the following documents:
• Copy of ID card or passport;
• A certificate issued by the local government in Italy confirming your place of residence or, if the EU customs agent agrees, a copy of the application for
• residence certificate;
• A detailed bill of lading with the value, size and weight of each item listed;
• British residence certificate 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 and signed form AIRE REGISTRATION
• Signed declaration of Libera Importazione Aggiornata
• 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 Italy.
You can find out more information about bringing personal items into Italy directly from the government websites Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli
