Türkiye England Home Moving & Personal Goods Logistics

After the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union (Brexit), customs rules have completely changed in **Turkey-UK home-to-home transportation** and logistics processes. UK customs has made the **TOR1 (Transfer of Residence)** declaration mandatory, which is a pre-approval mechanism for all household goods and personal belongings entering the country. **iMove** works fully integrated with the new post-Brexit legal processes to carry out your move smoothly at the most affordable prices.

🇬🇧 Post-Brexit UK Customs Rules and TOR1 Process

In order to import your personal household goods from Türkiye to England (London, Manchester, Birmingham, etc.) without paying customs duty and VAT, you must apply for **TOR1** through HMRC (British Revenue and Customs Administration). The conditions required to obtain a TOR1 certificate are as follows:

• Having lived in Türkiye for at least 12 months: You must prove that you have been living outside the UK (e.g. Türkiye) continuously for the last 12 months before moving to the UK.
• Item Usage Time: The furniture and household items to be moved must have been used by you in your residence in Türkiye for at least 6 months.
• Proof of Residence in the UK: Accommodation/work details such as a lease, employment contract or title deed signed in the UK must be included in the application.
• HMRC Approval Number (Unique Reference Number): Once your application is approved, HMRC will give you a reference number. When our trucks reach the customs gate, a tax-free declaration is opened using this number.

iMove offers free TOR1 application guidance and file preparation support to all customers moving to the UK. It is vital that your belongings do not depart without this approval in order to avoid penalties or additional waiting fees at customs.

📦 Professional Packaging Standards Suitable for Export

Our UK shipping line reaches England from the port of Dover, following the route of Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Austria, Germany and France, after exiting the Kapıkule border gate. We use **industrial packaging** to prevent the goods from being affected by shock during this long land and sea route. Your disassembled wooden furniture is wrapped with thick balloon patties and protective corner profiles. Your TV and white goods are boxed with shock absorbing foam.
