When planning European removals between the UK and Czech Republic, one crucial aspect to consider is customs assistance. Navigating the customs procedures and regulations is essential to ensure a smooth and hassle-free relocation. Here's what you need to know about customs assistance for your move:

A document confirming your EU residency or your intention to become one. Examples include:
- If you reside with your family in the EU, provide a signed statement along with a copy of their ID.
- If you are employed in the EU, submit your EU employment contract.
- If you have living arrangements in the EU, provide a utility bill, tenancy agreement, or property ownership deed.
UK Residence Certificate:

Instructions for Document Submission
- Email Submission: All documents need to be signed and sent to our email.
- Printed Copies: You must also print a copy of all required documents for the driver upon their arrival.
Important Notice:
Please ensure that all documents are supplied at least 7 days before the moving date. Failure to provide the required documents on time will result in the immediate cancellation of your reservation. You will then need to supply a new reservation date, ensuring that all documents are submitted at least 7 days before the new moving date.
In some situations, you may be required to contact the local customs office in the country to which you are moving to declare the imported goods and close the transit.
Having these documents prepared in advance will streamline your relocation process between the UK and Europe.
Since the UK's departure from the EU, additional customs and regulatory changes have occurred. Be sure to stay updated on the latest Brexit-related customs requirements and consult with customs assistance professionals to ensure compliance.
