SHIPPING
Household goods shipping providers assist individuals and families with relocating their personal belongings and household items safely and efficiently, whether it’s a domestic or international move. They offer customized solutions based on the client’s needs, including packing services to ensure items are properly prepared for transportation.
These providers offer various transportation modes, including road, sea, and air freight, often containerizing household goods for international moves to protect them during transit. They also handle necessary documentation, such as customs clearance and import/export requirements for international shipments.
For clients who need temporary storage, some providers offer storage options before, during, or after the relocation. Once the household goods reach their new destination, providers may also offer unpacking services to help clients settle into their new homes.
Throughout the process, providers often offer tracking services to allow clients to monitor the status and progress of their shipments.
TOR APPLICATION
The Transfer of Residence (ToR) scheme in the UK allows individuals moving their primary residence to the country to bring their personal belongings and household goods without paying customs duties and taxes. To qualify, you must intend to use the goods for personal or family use.
To apply, you need to complete an online application on the UK government’s website, providing personal details, details about the goods, and your intended use. Supporting documents, such as proof of identity, visas, inventory of goods, and more, are required.
Applying before shipping your goods is crucial. Once your goods arrive, you provide your ToR reference number to customs, along with additional documents if needed. Customs will review your application and documentation to ensure eligibility. If approved, your goods will be cleared without customs duties and taxes. In some cases, a physical examination may be conducted.
Keeping records of your ToR application, supporting documents, and communication with customs is essential. It’s important to understand the specific regulations and requirements for your circumstances.
Shipping providers offer comprehensive relocation solutions, assisting with safely moving your belongings both domestically and internationally.
