Expats relocating to Luxembourg rarely find shipping their possessions difficult because of regulations that are quite few and simple to follow, especially with the help of professional removal companies.
For documentation, one simply needs to submit his Passport, Work Permit and a Certificate of Residence issued by the commune where one will be staying in Luxembourg. Also, a Customs Declaration in French and a Medical Certificate will be required.
Expats who are shipping their household and personal goods will not be charged any duties as long as these have been in the shipper's possession for at least six months before arriving in Luxembourg. The shipper also has to present a Certificate of Residence proving that he has relocated to the country.
Dutiable and restricted items include alcoholic drinks and new furniture while those that will never be accepted into the country are guns and ammunition, illegal drugs, and endangered animals or products derived from them. For a more detailed list of these items, one may ask
movers in Luxembourg who can supply all the necessary information regarding shipping to this country.
For motor vehicles, duties may be waived when the shipper is able to prove his transfer of residence to Luxembourg and that he has owned the vehicle for at least six months. Some documents for motor vehicle imports will be required, including the original title of the vehicle and an insurance certificate covering the last six months.
Overseas shipping rules and regulations may change from time to time. Hence, it is best to hire experts in
removals to Luxembourg for a smooth, hassle-free import.
