UK Customs Post-Brexit (ToR1)
With the UK leaving the EU, a 'Transfer of Residence' (ToR1) application must now be made for your belongings to enter tax-free. Han Bros Cargo experts:
- ToR1 Guidance: Detail exactly which documents (rental contract, employment contract, etc.) are needed during the application process.
- Customs Declaration: Follow up on customs registration procedures on your behalf when your items reach the UK ports of Dover or Felixstowe.
- Tax Exemption: Ensure you are 100% exempt from customs duty with your approved ToR1 number.
Logistics Process and Transport Methods
Your belongings departing from Ankara usually cross the entire European continent via Ro-Ro ships or road. In the final stage of the journey, the English Channel is crossed to reach UK soil. For the security of your belongings during this long journey:
- Extra Durable Packaging: Packaging resistant to sea humidity and long-distance vibrations is performed.
- Barcode Tracking: Each of your boxes is recorded in the inventory list and delivered by checking one by one upon arrival.
