Customs & Paperwork

Post-Brexit Customs Requirements

Relocating household goods from Exeter to Valencia requires strict adherence to both UK export and Spanish import regulations. You must apply for a Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief via HMRC to import your used personal effects duty-free. In the UK, your removal operator will submit an export declaration through the Customs Declaration Service (CDS).

Upon arrival in Spain, you will need to present your approved ToR authorisation, inventory list, a valid passport, and proof of residency such as your Padron certificate and NIE number. Used personal effects generally qualify for duty-free entry provided you have owned and used them for at least six months. We strongly recommend checking current guidelines directly with official Spanish customs authorities and GOV.UK before dispatching your load.

Route Logistics

Route Logistics and Transport

A removal from Exeter to Valencia covers approximately 1150 miles (1850 km). The journey typically begins on the M5 from Exeter, transitioning onto the M4 and M25 to reach the Port of Dover or Folkestone for the Channel crossing to Calais via ferry or Eurotunnel. Once on the continent, drivers navigate through France using the A26 and A1 towards Paris, before heading south down the A7 Autoroute du Soleil towards the Spanish border at Le Perthus, continuing along the AP-7 motorway directly into Valencia.

For loading in Exeter, coordinate with Exeter City Council regarding temporary parking suspensions if access is restricted. Sensible loading times are usually between 08:00 and 17:00. Watch out for Clean Air Zones if routing near Bristol or London during transit. Estimated transit times for this road freight route range between 4 and 7 days depending on customs clearance procedures at the border.

How to Save on This Move

How to Reduce Your Moving Costs

International removals can be expensive, but several strategies help minimise expenses. Choosing a part-load service where your belongings share container or truck space with other consignments significantly lowers costs compared to booking a fully dedicated vehicle.

Decluttering before packing reduces the total cubic volume, directly lowering your removal quotation. Self-packing non-fragile items also saves on labour fees, though you should ensure professional wrapping for high-value furniture. Flexible moving dates allow removal companies to optimise their return loads, passing potential savings on to you. Always obtain multiple written estimates from accredited international movers and verify what is included in the base price, such as basic liability cover and standard customs brokerage fees.
