UK to Italy removals: prepare your shipment
A move from the UK to Italy needs a clear inventory, delivery arrangements and the relevant customs paperwork. Preparing these details in advance helps us review the road transport and packing requirements.
Build your inventory before choosing what to ship, including any furniture that needs dismantling or extra protection. Add complete collection and delivery details, with floors and loading restrictions where known. Note anything you plan to send separately or keep in UK storage. These details help the team review the load and suitable transport options. Use the route guidance below to identify the documents and arrangements to discuss before availability and the final quote are confirmed.

What actually matters on this route
IdentificationHave your identity, Italian address and codice fiscale details available. Ask the customs representative which documents the declaration needs.
Residence evidencePrepare evidence of your residence move and check the applicable relief procedure with Italian customs before dispatch.
InventoryPrepare an itemised inventory. Confirm language, valuation, signature and supporting-document requirements for your circumstances.
Clearance planConfirm the customs office, document review and onward delivery arrangements. Allow for clearance without relying on a fixed release date.
Customs documentationExport declaration and itemised packing list - £145, added once regardless of destination or volume, never folded into the cost of the vehicle.
These notes help you prepare questions; they are not a complete customs checklist. Check the rules for your goods and circumstances with the relevant authority before shipping. Italian customs: residence-transfer relief
How the price is worked out
International moves are priced by volume, not by distance. What matters is how many cubic metres you fill and how the shipment travels - a container does not care whether it started in Abingdon or Aberdeen.
- Survey first. We measure your load in cubic metres, on video or in person.
- Shared or sole-use. Compare the calculated transport options for your inventory and confirm the quoted mode before booking.
- Route: Overland via France.
- Schedule: Confirm collection, consolidation where needed, customs clearance and final delivery separately.
- Export packing. Every shipment gets export-grade wrap and a customs inventory, itemised as its own line - about 18% added to the shipping cost for packing that has to survive a container and a long transit, not just a van down the road. Full details of our packing service are on its own page.
We are not VAT-registered, so there is no VAT to add to your shipping cost. The figure shown is an indicative estimate; your final written quote confirms the price after we review the route, requirements and applicable charges.
Moving to the UK instead?
If you are bringing a household to the UK, you may be eligible for Transfer of Residence (ToR1) relief on qualifying personal belongings. Apply for HMRC approval before shipping. If you paid import duties but were eligible, HMRC may still approve a late claim and repayment. Check HMRC's conditions and late-claim process. Relief is not automatic; destination-country customs, duties and taxes on outbound moves are separate.
Moving to Italy
What should I prepare for Italian customs?
Prepare an inventory and evidence of your residence move, then check the applicable relief procedure with Italian customs. Confirm the documents before dispatch and allow for clearance in the delivery plan.
Can you deliver to a hill town?
Share the exact address, road width and loading restrictions. Confirm whether a smaller vehicle or shuttle is needed and whether that arrangement is included in the quote.
How much does it cost to move to Italy from the UK?
A two-bedroom household is typically £3,325-£3,900, priced by volume rather than distance. The final quote needs the inventory, route, access and applicable customs or handling charges reviewed.
