What is a custom form?

A custom form/forms are official documents required by the customs authority in the destination country. Most household removal customs documentation includes:

  • A packing inventory (detailed list of all items with estimated values)
  • A personal customs declaration form
  • Proof of residency or visa status
  • Proof of UK address
  • A copy of your passport
  • Destination address confirmation
  • For vehicles: V5C, proof of ownership, insurance documentation

PSS helps prepare all customs documentation and will guide you on the necessary documentation.

Also known as: Customs paperwork, import documentation

PSS Tip: Incorrect, incomplete, or late documentation is the single most common cause of shipment delays. PSS will send you your documentation pack well in advance of your sailing date — please return it promptly and fully completed.
