Importing Household Goods

From my own experience working for a [link moderated] company, you don't need two copies of the inventory list.

This list in our case is for:

1. Export declaration - you'll just need to certify that those items are not for commercial purposes.
2. Eventual insurance claim - I'm not sure how it works as I never had to use it.

You don't have to be detailed - in our case goes like this:

Box 0,5m x 0.4m x 0.6 12kg - Books and clothing  - £120

and so.

About the value - it is a bit tricky. For example, you have a flat-packed Ikea item you've purchased recently and it's still in the package, costing you 49 - you put 49.

If you have some antique piece of furniture - you'd have to put the amount you'd have to spend to replace it.

I hope this helps a bit.

Cheers

hi, we are in a simular position, i have been advised to get surveys done along with getting quotes and they tell /advise you as to what they require to get into the country. A place in the sun exhibition in the uk helped with transport companies.
