Special customs procedures
Household Goods & Transfer of Residence
Customs support for bringing personal belongings and household goods to Greece when moving your normal residence from a non-EU country.
When you move your normal residence from outside the EU to Greece, your personal belongings and household goods go through a customs procedure. The legislation allows these goods to be relieved from duties and taxes, provided the conditions are met.
The conditions concern, among other things, how long your normal residence was outside the EU, how the items were used before the move and when they are imported. They can cover household goods, personal effects and, where applicable, vehicles.
Relief is not granted automatically. We help you gather the supporting documents, prepare the inventory of items and complete the procedure at customs.
Send us the details of your case and we will tell you what the procedure involves and what is needed.
What we can take on
- An initial check of the conditions based on your details
- Guidance on the supporting documents required
- Preparing a detailed inventory of the items
- Customs formalities for the household goods and, where applicable, the vehicle
- Coordination with the removals company
What we may need from you
Depending on the goods and the procedure, we may ask for:
- Documents showing your residence abroad and its transfer to Greece
- A detailed inventory of the items
- Passport or ID card
- Vehicle documents, if a vehicle is included
- The transport document for the household goods
