Import duties for your household items

Though import duty relief is listed as being available for returning citizens - there’s no mention of expats or immigrants. Thus, whether duty exemption is available when relocating to Cape Verde isn’t clear - so contact customs to find out how your shipments will be handled (1).

Paperwork for your household items

Customs will need to see some documentation, before they’ll let your goods into the country. Your Residence Permit, passport and a full packing list must be included in your paperwork. You’ll also need two copies of either your Original Bill of Lading or Air Waybill. An Entry Permit should be inside your passport, and you’ll need to show customs this as well (2).

Import duties for your vehicle

If you’ll be moving to Cape Verde in the near future, and are planning to ship your vehicle along for the ride - then you’re likely curious about import duties. If you are a technician, diplomat or cooperant - then duty-free importation of your personal vehicle is allowed. Otherwise, you’ll be required to pay the standard import taxes and duties. The precise rate is based upon the specifics of your vehicle - and you can contact your destination agent (or even customs) to learn more beforehand (3).

Paperwork for your vehicle

Before customs will clear your shipment, you’ll need to provide some paperwork. This includes your passport, Social Security card and a Power of Attorney. This last document gives your agent or shipping company (such as A1 Auto Transport), permission to help your shipment move through the clearance process. The title for the vehicle and proof of insurance coverage are also required. Finally, you’ll need to show customs a valid driver’s license (4).

It’s always prudent to speak both with customs and your destination agent, prior to shipping off your belongings to a faraway country. This ensures that you know all the applicable regulations and filing requirements - so you don’t miss any important steps along the way.

Tips on how to make your international move easier

Even with a good moving company, international moves are not easy. Here are some tips to make your life easier during the moving process:

Only ship the things you can’t do without and do not fill up your bags with things you can purchase in Cape Verde.
Plan your move early so that you can have ample time to say goodbye to loved ones and to address any problems that might occur during the move.
A move to a new country will require you to produce some documents. Apply for these documents early and make sure that you have them within reach.
Read about all the entry requirements for moving to Cape Verde and check to ensure you are compliant with all of them.
Pick a moving company and make sure that it offers Cape Verde International Moving Services.

Why you need a professional moving company when relocating overseas

Although they are possible, DIY moves are extremely difficult to pull off when you are moving to a new country. You will need to be conversant with all sorts of rules that sometimes are given to you in a different language. To be safe, you should work with a professional moving company. Here are reasons why you should take this approach:

A professional moving company has managed moves to Cape Verde before and they know any pitfalls that you might find along the way.
They have built relationships with local authorities over the years and are therefore best placed to address any problems that might arise.
They have storage facilities to safely store your belongings before you arrive.
They come with their own specialized equipment to ensure that your move to Cape Verde does not leave any of your appliances damaged.
