Your starting point
Plan the route, inventory and dependencies. Customs, animal-health rules and carrier conditions may all apply to the same move.
Some belongings require specific permission or handling before they cross a border. Use the steps below to organise a decision, not to infer an official approval, a guaranteed price or a universal deadline.
Work through the decision
Identify special categories
Flag items that may involve customs, animal, plant, safety or cultural-property rules.
Ask the competent authority
Check official restrictions for origin, transit and destination before packing.
Inform the carrier
Obtain written acceptance and follow lawful declaration and documentation requirements.
Adapt this to your circumstances
Keep citizenship, current residence, household needs and the location of the home separate in your notes. Ask the responsible authority, institution or qualified professional to confirm any requirement that affects your situation. A checklist used by another household may not apply to yours.
