Importing personal belongings from a deceased relative abroad?

Hi My grandmother who recently passed away, lived in Austria. She left some antique furniture and other household items to my mum. What would be the requirement for bringing these back to the UK? They will only be for personal use . Is it necessary to get an official valuation of the furniture?

Hi,
Any goods imported in to UK require declaration, whether they are for personal use or commercial.
Customs charges will also be applicable as per tariff and value of the goods unless a relief has been claimed. You can claim a relief to pay no Customs Duty and VAT if you're importing inherited goods into the UK.

Thank you.

Hi, My mom (Polish) passed away last year. I fully inherited the flat (I have a notarial act), on which I already had a half ownership after my dad passed away many years ago. There was no will left. Whenever I went back to Poland I lived with my mom for those periods of time (I have been in the UK for over 16 years now), I have my and her belongings there. I would like to go to Poland by car and bring everything over (nothing valuable, mainly memorabilia, books that mom bought be not so long before she passed - they are new, instruments used by her father, some decorations, household items, etc). Everything just for a personal use. I tried to call HMRC, different departments, and cannot get a direct answer whether I can just come and bring those goods, or whether I have to fill in any forms, pay any taxes. What do I need to prepare and how long in advance before travel? A|re you able to advise, please?

Hi Please see the link posted by HMRC 7 months ago. This gives details of how you can import goods on inheritance. It covers goods imported in baggage which also covers goods you personally import in your vehicle. All Goods must be declared irrespective of whether they are for personal use. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-no-import-duties-or-vat-on-inherited-goods

Hi Marta,
The amount of goods you can bring is commonly known as your ‘personal allowance’.
Personal allowance rules apply to any goods you have bought overseas and are bringing in to the UK.
