Moving to the EU on marriage
We will require a completed DK customs form accompanied by a certified copy of your marriage certificate. You must bring your wedding gifts into the EU within 4 months of your wedding, otherwise you will be liable for customs duty & VAT.

Antiques
These are liable for VAT at a reduced rate. A completed customs form is required plus a certificate of antiquity. A formal valuation for the antiques is also necessary.

Motorcycles
As there are several different customs forms relating to the various different importation rules pertaining to vehicles and motorcycles, please contact us for individual advice. All original documents (i.e. registration documents, proof of ownership, invoices, etc) for the vehicle/motorcycle must be received well in advance of the vehicle arriving.

We will also need an individual export license from Ventanilla Unica para Las Exportaciones in Guatemala, and only the owner can apply for this document. We will give you all necessary advice and help in the process of doing this paper work.
