Dimond Movers LTD is an experienced international removals company moving UK households and offices to Italy every month. Italy is a longer European trip — typically 6-10 days door-to-door because we cross the Alps via the Mont Blanc or Fréjus tunnel. Most of our Italy moves are to Tuscany and Umbria (rural farmhouses), the Italian Lakes (Como, Garda) and the major cities Rome, Milan and Florence. Full export packing, customs paperwork, transit and final delivery handled in-house and via our trusted destination agents.
Italy is one of our regular international destinations. We know the route, the paperwork and the destination agents personally not a one-off subcontracted job.
One coordinator from survey to final delivery in Italy. No handing your move to three different companies and hoping for the best.
All-in written quote covering UK collection, export packing, customs, transit, destination port, customs clearance and final delivery in Italy. No surprise local agent fees on arrival.
Proper heavy-duty cartons, bubble wrap, blanket wrap, corner protection and a full barcoded inventory built for international transit, not just a UK domestic move.
Customs declarations, Transfer of Residence paperwork and transit documents are prepared by us before the vehicle / container moves. We don't leave you negotiating with Italy customs on arrival.
Comprehensive marine / road Goods in Transit insurance for the full international journey. Cover details and certificate provided as part of the documentation.
A coordinator runs a video or in-person survey, agrees the inventory, mode (van / part-load / container) and timeline, and confirms a fixed all-in written quote.
Our crews export-pack your belongings to international shipping standards: heavy duty cartons, bubble wrap, blanket wrap for furniture, full inventory list and barcoded labels.
We prepare the destination customs declaration, transit documents and Transfer of Residence paperwork where applicable and submit them in advance of the vehicle / container arrival.
Our driver / shipping line handles transit; our destination agent handles port, customs and final delivery, unpacking and debris removal. You get tracking and a single point of contact throughout.
We deliver into the major Italy cities every month: Rome, Milan, Florence, Naples, Turin, Bologna, Venice, Tuscany / Umbria countryside. Rural and inland addresses are handled via our destination agent's shuttle network.
Indicative pricing for a UK to Italy move: £1,700 (shared part-load) up to £6,200+ (dedicated 4-bed move to Tuscany). Indicative starting prices only. These are not fixed or guaranteed rates for a particular volume. Your final quote is calculated individually and depends on collection and delivery locations, access, actual volume or weight, dates, customs requirements, ferry or toll costs, route availability and how your shipment can be consolidated with other loads. Any ‘up to 10 m³’ wording describes the service or load band, not a promise that every move within that band costs the displayed ‘from’ price.
Tuscan and Umbrian farmhouse deliveries usually involve narrow rural lanes and we'll survey access in advance — sometimes we'll need a shuttle vehicle for the last mile. Lake Como and Lake Garda properties are often steep-access villas with parking constraints.
Rome and Milan are dense apartment moves with restricted vehicle access, usually requiring a permesso (city centre access permit) and a shuttle. Florence's ZTL (zona traffico limitato) needs special permits we arrange in advance.
Italian customs require a formal declaration on UK household goods. New Italian residents can apply for Trasferimento di Residenza relief, exempting used personal effects from VAT and duty.
You'll need a Codice Fiscale (Italian tax number) and an Italian residency certificate (certificato di residenza) issued by your comune. The paperwork must reach Italian customs before the vehicle arrives — we handle the submission.
Most Italian historic centres operate a ZTL — a restricted vehicle access zone with cameras and substantial fines. Florence, Rome, Bologna and Milan all have them. We arrange the temporary access permit as part of the move and time deliveries to permitted windows.
Many older Italian buildings have very tight stairwells; external hoist (autoscala) is a routine part of Italian moves and we'll price it in if needed.
Customs declaration required; Italian Transfer of Residence (Trasferimento di Residenza) relief available.
Paperwork we prepare and submit as part of every Italy move: valued inventory in english and italian; codice fiscale (italian tax number); italian residency certificate (certificato di residenza); t1 transit document and italian customs declaration; passport copy.
Many Italy relocations involve a gap between leaving the UK property and the container or van loading. We run secure, insured short and long-term storage at our Crowmarsh Gifford depot useful when you have completed your UK sale but the Italy property isn't ready yet.
Storage is invoiced monthly and can be combined with the export packing and Italy shipment under a single coordinator and single quote.
We collect from across the South of England — Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Greater London — and ship to all major Italy cities.

Italy is not a difficult country to move to, but it is a country where access decides the cost. Almost every historic centre is a ZTL zone with camera enforcement, streets in Florence, Siena and central Rome are too narrow for a 13.6m trailer, and many apartments have no lift and a stairwell built for one person carrying one box. We survey for that before quoting, so the price you sign is the price you pay.
The second variable is timing. A part load is the economical choice, but it depends on when the vehicle consolidates. A dedicated vehicle costs more and delivers in days rather than weeks. We tell you plainly which one suits your completion date instead of quoting the cheapest option and renegotiating later.
Paperwork is the third. Since Brexit, personal effects entering Italy need a proper itemised inventory, a residency declaration and a power of attorney for the customs agent. We prepare that pack with you rather than sending a link and hoping.
We handle overseas moves week in, week out - including complicated ones where plans change mid-route.
“Our move from the USA to Berkshire was complicated and a few unexpected issues came up along the way. Dimond Movers handled all of it calmly and found solutions every time. I would not hesitate to use them again for an international move.”
