Documentation Required When Moving to the UK
When moving to the UK and shipping personal belongings, you’ll need to provide documentation for both immigration and customs clearance. The exact requirements depend on whether you’re permanently relocating, studying, or moving temporarily for work.
Transfer of Residence (ToR1) Form (Most Important Document)
If you are moving your personal belongings to the UK as part of a relocation, you should complete the UK Transfer of Residence (ToR1) form.
What the ToR1 does:
- Allows you to import used personal belongings without paying UK import duty or VAT
- Confirms the move is part of a genuine relocation
Who should complete it:
- People moving to the UK permanently
- Returning UK residents
- Students staying long-term
- Professionals on extended assignments
You must submit the ToR1 online before your shipment arrives and provide the approval reference number.
Our team of experts at Baggage Moves can help you complete this form to take all the stress out of your move.
Need Help with Your ToR1?
Baggage Moves helps you navigate UK relocation paperwork, including the ToR1. We guide you on:
- Completing the form correctly

- Coordinating customs clearance for your belongings
Moving to the UK? Make your relocation stress-free with Baggage Moves. We ensure your personal belongings arrive safely, on time, and duty-free.
Why Choose Baggage Moves Instead of Air or Sea Freight For Your Move to the UK?
Traditional international removals are designed for entire households, containers, and long lead times. For many modern moves, they’re unnecessarily expensive, slow, and complex.
Baggage Moves is different.
We specialise in small and medium relocations — moving the belongings people actually need — without the overheads of freight forwarding.
Baggage Moves vs Traditional Movers via Air or Sea Freight
Traditional air/sea freight:
- Designed for full household moves
- Requires detailed customs brokerage
- Often involves shared containers
- Long transit times (especially sea freight)
- High minimum charges
- Storage, port fees, and surprise costs
Baggage Moves:
- Built for suitcases, boxes & personal effects
- Door-to-door collection and delivery
- No ports, no container sharing
- Faster transit times
- Lower cost for smaller moves
- Clear pricing with fewer hidden fees
If you’re not moving an entire house, traditional freight is often unnecessary.
Baggage Moves is the smarter, modern alternative.
