What changed
Since the UK left the EU, moving personal belongings between the UK and Spain involves customs processes that didn't apply when both were EU members. The specifics depend on your circumstances, including residency status and the nature of the goods.
Our role
We provide plain-English guidance on the documentation typically associated with an international move, and we help you understand what to expect. We don't provide legal or customs advice, and we don't make guarantees about outcomes that depend on your personal situation.
Where to get authoritative advice
For customs, tax, residency and legal matters, check with the relevant authorities — such as HMRC and the Spanish tax and customs authorities — or consult a qualified adviser specialising in cross-border moves. Rules can change, so verify the current position before you travel.
