      Fantastic job!Initially, I was skeptical about MuveOne as they only offered one man and van service while most of their competitors had additional help accompanying an another along with the driver especially when it comes to loading and unloading furniture. But to my surprise, MuveOne’s price was significantly lower than their competition. I moved my 2 bedroom flat from Manchester to Berlin with their 10m3 option. And the driver offered plenty of help during the process which is very impressive! In summary, they were the best when it comes to the price! I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for stripped down removals service to Europe!

      I was very impressed with the service…I was very impressed with the service provided by MuveOne, they were quick to respond and very professional and organised. The driver Pawel was friendly and helpful, he managed to communicate with me in English and we also used Google translate when needed. The communication with his manager was flawless – I got a phonecall the day after pickup to update me on the van’s location and the expected time frame. I also got a text message on WhatsApp the day before the delivery to confirm the van’s location and the exact time for delivery. The van collected my things at 2 in the afternoon Wednesday in Croydon and delivered them near Valencia, Spain around on Friday 3 in the afternoon. Everything was intact and packed the same way as when he left.

      French customs - Removals to France with MuveOne

      Smooth customs clearance for your removals to France

      Navigating post-Brexit customs regulations is critical when relocating personal belongings from the UK to France. Since 2020, UK residents must complete a Transfer of Residence (ToR) application to qualify for VAT and duty exemptions—a process requiring precise documentation and adherence to French import rules.

      At MuveOne, we handle every step of this procedure as part of our all-inclusive removals service. Our experts verify your eligibility for duty-free status, prepare bilingual inventories, and submit declarations directly to French customs authorities.

      To qualify, you must prove 12 months of UK residency* and French residency intent, with goods owned for at least six months. Common pitfalls include incomplete address evidence, undervalued inventories, or missing non-resale certificates—errors that could trigger 20% VAT on your shipment’s total value. We mitigate these risks by providing pre-filled templates for inventories and declarations, ensuring your paperwork meets France’s strict standards.

      Timing is equally vital: French customs require goods to arrive within 12 months of your residency transfer, with all consignments listed on your initial inventory. Whether you’re retiring to Provence or starting a new job in Paris, our fixed-price service includes real-time customs updates and direct liaison with border agents. This eliminates surprise fees and delays, letting you focus on settling into your French home.

      Required documentation

      To qualify for duty-free entry of personal effects, you’ll need:

      • Proof of UK residency: A certificate of residence or 12 months of council tax/bank statements showing your UK address.

      • Detailed inventory list: Itemise all belongings in French, including values in EUR, signed and dated.

      • Non-resale declaration: A signed certificate confirming items won’t be sold within 12 months of import.

      • Proof of French residency: Lease agreement or utility bill for your new address.

      MuveOne provides templates for inventories and declarations, reducing paperwork stress.

      Key customs rules

      Prepare these upfront to prevent delays:

      • Residency requirements: You must have lived outside the EU for 12 months before moving and import goods within 12 months of settling in France.

      • Ownership period: Items must have been owned for at least 6 months.

      • Restricted items: Alcohol, tobacco, and medicines require additional declarations.

      Failure to meet these criteria may result in 20% VAT on goods value.

      How MuveOne simplifies the process

      Avoid customs seizures by excluding:

      • Pre-move guidance: We clarify document requirements tailored to your situation.

      • Inventory support: Our team reviews your packing list to ensure compliance with French customs standards.

      • Seamless clearance: We submit all paperwork to authorities, tracking progress until approval.

      Important Considerations

      • Timing: Start preparations 2-3 months before moving to allow for document processing.

      • Partial shipments: All consignments must be listed on the initial inventory submitted to customs.

      • New items: Goods purchased within 6 months may incur VAT.

      With MuveOne, you avoid hidden fees—customs handling is included in your upfront quote. Our expertise in post-Brexit regulations ensures your belongings arrive without surprises, letting you focus on settling into your new French home.

      For retirees, professionals, and families alike, we combine affordability with reliability – making European moves simpler through transparent pricing and dedicated support.

      FAQs about removals to France

      How do I move my belongings from UK to France?

      MuveOne offers streamlined UK-to-France removals with customs clearance support, requiring customers to book van space (5-30m³), handle their own packing, and provide Transfer of Residence paperwork to avoid 20% import VAT, while driver assistance is available at £12 per half-hour for loading/unloading.

      What is the cheapest way to ship to France?

      The most cost-effective option is MuveOne’s shared-load service, where you pay only for the van space needed (from 5m³), coupled with their fuel-efficient fleet and transparent pricing starting at £12 for driver assistance, avoiding storage fees that increase costs.

      How much money do I need to move to France?

      The French government recommends a minimum monthly income of €1,800 for singles or €3,600 for couples to live comfortably, alongside removal costs ranging from £400 for small apartments to £3,000 for larger homes, depending on transport method and volume.

      Can I permanently move to France from UK?

      Yes, UK citizens can apply for a long-stay visa (VLS-TS) initially, then renewable carte de séjour residency permits, leading to permanent residency after five continuous years if they meet income requirements (€1,801+ monthly) and basic French proficiency.

        Architectural Adventures

        Trade UK suburbs for stone maisons de caractère with shuttered windows and sun-drenched terraces. Restoring 18th-century farmhouses becomes a labour of love, uncovering hidden frescoes or converting wine cellars into tasting rooms. Sundays evolve into explorations of châteaux-lined Loire routes or coastal hikes to Mont Saint-Michel’s tidal island.

        Social Rhythm Reset

        Embrace the art de vivre through two-hour lunches and August’s nationwide shutdown. Village brocantes (flea markets) replace online shopping, while pétanque matches in leafy squares foster neighbourly bonds. Discover the therapeutic joy of flânerie – leisurely strolls through cobbled lanes punctuated by café stops for un noir (espresso).

        Linguistic Evolution

        Initial bonjour exchanges blossom into debates about Camus’ novels or regional politics. Local marchands de vin become language tutors during wine-tasting sessions, while village bakeries transform into impromptu French classes. The satisfaction of finally understanding Verlan slang or negotiating a house renovation en français marks true integration.

      From gastronomic journeys to historic discoveries, life in France offers endless opportunities to craft your unique version of la belle vie.
