What You Can and Can't Take With You to Europe

Most household goods travel to Europe without issue, but a few categories need care. Food, plants, alcohol and certain medicines all have rules, and some can't be moved at all.

Anything flammable, pressurised or hazardous — aerosols, gas bottles, paint, fuel — generally can't go in the van for safety reasons. Valuables and documents are best carried with you personally.

When we survey your move, we'll flag anything that needs special handling or can't travel, so there are no surprises at the border.
