Bringing an inheritance home to the UK
If you've inherited belongings abroad, we can handle the move, including the customs side. We import inherited goods into the UK, and you deal with a person, not a process.
Message us on WhatsAppNo VAT or duty on a qualified inheritance
"Qualified" means the customs agent validates the documents. So we tell you exactly which ones, and we provide the Inheritance Declaration template ourselves. If there was no will, then the legal documents that name the heirs take its place.
The final decision always sits with the customs authority. We tell you that up front too.
Two dates to plan around, when you're ready: documents 7 days before your collection window, and the finalised inventory 3 calendar days before.
This route applies to inheritances coming into the UK. Bringing an inheritance into another country needs a customs specialist, so tell us where, and we'll point you in the right direction honestly.
