Moving to Sweden from an EU country
If you are moving to Sweden from an EU country, you do not need to pay customs duty, VAT or other taxes for your personal belongings. This is because Sweden is a member of the EU’s Customs Union. Additionally, you do not need to submit any import declaration.
Exemption for areas outside the EU’s fiscal territory
There are certain areas that are not part of the EU’s fiscal territory. These include Åland, the Canary Islands and some areas belonging to France, Greece, Italy, Spain, Great Britain and Germany. These areas are exempt from EU tax regulations. The same regulations apply when moving between Sweden and one of these areas as when moving between Sweden and a country outside the EU.
Declaring firearms with Swedish Customs
If you are bringing a firearm or another dangerous object that requires a permit from, for example, the Swedish Police Authority to bring it into Sweden, you have to declare the weapon with Swedish Customs at the border.
Permanent import and export of weapons, silencers and ammunition
Register a vehicle
If you are bringing a vehicle with you when your move to Sweden, you need to register the vehicle with the Swedish Transport Agency. If you are moving from Sweden, you need to deregister the vehicle.
Permits for cultural goods
In order to export certain cultural goods from Sweden, you may need an export authorisation.
