On the American side you clear an export process run by U.S. Census and CBP, and you carry citizenship-based tax obligations that follow you across the ocean. On the Swedish side you need the right immigration status, a duty-relief customs declaration to bring your belongings in tax-free, and population registration to actually start living there. This guide covers both halves in the order you will meet them, plus a short note for anyone eventually moving back the other way. It is written for a US resident \u2014 citizen or green-card holder \u2014 planning a genuine, long-term move to Sweden.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"flyto-article-img\" style=\"margin:26px 0;border-radius:16px;overflow:hidden;box-shadow:0 18px 40px -22px rgba(15,15,15,.3);\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/flyto-wp-uploads.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/03182823\/FLYTO-Muutto-Kuvaaja-Nuuti-Paananen-9_2_11zon-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Flyto Relocation international moving\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;display:block;\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>US citizens and green-card holders need a <strong>residence permit granted before travel<\/strong> for stays over 90 days \u2014 most commonly a work permit tied to a job offer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationsverket.se\/en\/you-want-to-apply\/work\/employee-or-self-employed\/employees.html\">Migrationsverket<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Sweden grants <strong>duty and VAT relief<\/strong> on your used household goods if you have lived outside the EU for a continuous year and intend to live in Sweden for at least a year, declared on Swedish Customs form <strong>Tv 740.45<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/download\/18.26dbb8018fc32e89b7184fa\/1776755472252\/Declaration%20for%20obtaining%20relief%20from%20customs%20duty%20and%20tax%20on%20personal%20belongings%20when%20migrating%20to%20Sweden.pdf\">Tullverket<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>The US has <strong>no population register to deregister from<\/strong>; your export obligation is an Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing, required for household-goods shipments over <strong>$2,500<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-15\/subtitle-B\/chapter-I\/part-30\/subpart-D\/section-30.37\">Census\/eCFR 15 CFR 30.37<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>US citizens <strong>keep filing US tax returns from Sweden<\/strong> (citizenship-based taxation) and must file an <strong>FBAR<\/strong> once foreign accounts exceed $10,000 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/international-taxpayers\/us-citizens-and-residents-abroad-filing-requirements\">IRS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/report-of-foreign-bank-and-financial-accounts-fbar\">FBAR<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Carrying <strong>more than $10,000<\/strong> out of the US requires <strong>FinCEN Form 105<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/travel\/international-visitors\/money-monetary-instruments\">CBP<\/a>); the equivalent of <strong>\u20ac10,000 or more<\/strong> into Sweden must be declared to Swedish Customs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/travelling\/bringinggoodswhentravelling\/travellingwithcashandorequivalentassets.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d9df.html\">Tullverket<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Dogs and cats need an ISO microchip, a valid rabies vaccination (at least 21 days old), and a <strong>USDA-endorsed EU health certificate<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/pet-travel\/us-to-another-country-export\/pet-travel-us-sweden\">APHIS<\/a>); non-EU pets may only enter via Arlanda or Landvetter and must be presented to Swedish Customs on arrival for the entry stamp (<a href=\"https:\/\/jordbruksverket.se\/languages\/english\/swedish-board-of-agriculture\/animals\/pets---trade-and-travel\/movement-of-dogs-cats-and-ferrets-to-sweden\/movement-of-dogs-cats-and-ferrets-from-countries-outside-the-eu-where-the-rabies-situation-is-documented-and-monitored\">Jordbruksverket<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>After arrival you register with <strong>Skatteverket<\/strong> to receive a <em>personnummer<\/em>, which unlocks healthcare, banking and public services (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skatteverket.se\/servicelankar\/otherlanguages\/englishengelska\/individualsandemployees\/movingtosweden.4.7be5268414bea064694c40c.html\">Skatteverket<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>1. Your immigration status decides your customs treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Everything downstream depends on how you enter Sweden legally. As a US citizen you may enter the Schengen area visa-free for up to 90 days, but to live in Sweden you must <strong>apply for and receive a residence permit before you travel<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationsverket.se\/en\/you-want-to-apply\/work.html\">Migrationsverket<\/a>). The most common route is a work permit: you need a concrete job offer from a Swedish employer, a signed employment contract, and a salary that meets the agency&#8217;s threshold \u2014 at least 90 percent of the median salary published by Statistics Sweden, with some exceptions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationsverket.se\/en\/you-want-to-apply\/work\/employee-or-self-employed\/employees.html\">Migrationsverket<\/a>). Other routes include moving to a family member already in Sweden. Work-permit holders can generally apply for a <strong>permanent residence permit<\/strong> after four years, subject to maintenance and good-conduct requirements \u2014 the exact qualifying period depends on your permit type (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationsverket.se\/en\/you-want-to-apply\/permanent-residence-permit.html\">Migrationsverket<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>This matters for your shipment because Swedish Customs grants duty relief only to people making a genuine move: you must <strong>intend to live in Sweden for at least one year<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/moving\/movingtoandfromsweden\/frequentlyaskedquestionsoncustomsexemptionforpersonalbelongings.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d818.html\">Tullverket<\/a>). Your residence permit and your Skatteverket registration are the documents that prove that intent. Enter as a short-term visitor and you have no basis for tax-free import of a household.<\/p>\n<h2>2. The US export side<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The customs authority.<\/strong> Unlike EU countries, the United States has no national population register, so there is nothing to &quot;deregister&quot; from when you leave \u2014 no exit stamp, no municipal notice. Your only formal export step runs through the <strong>U.S. Census Bureau&#8217;s Foreign Trade Regulations<\/strong>, filed electronically through the <strong>Automated Export System (AES)<\/strong> and enforced at the border by <strong>U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The export declaration and thresholds.<\/strong> For a moving shipment, the key concept is Electronic Export Information (EEI). Household goods carried as <strong>baggage or personal effects<\/strong> \u2014 not shipped as cargo under a bill of lading \u2014 generally need no filing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-15\/subtitle-B\/chapter-I\/part-30\/subpart-D\/section-30.37\">eCFR 15 CFR 30.37(p)<\/a>). But a container of household goods shipped by sea or air freight is cargo. Census guidance is explicit: if you are moving anywhere other than Canada and the value of your household goods exceeds <strong>$2,500<\/strong>, you (or your forwarder) must file EEI in AES before export, selecting export information code <strong>&quot;HH&quot;<\/strong> for household goods (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/newsroom\/blogs\/global-reach\/2015\/02\/relocating-abroad.html\">Census, &quot;Relocating Abroad?&quot;<\/a>). In practice your international moving company files this for you as your authorized agent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax-residency exit.<\/strong> Here is the trap that catches Americans: the US taxes its <strong>citizens and green-card holders on worldwide income regardless of where they live<\/strong>. Moving to Sweden does not end your US filing obligation \u2014 you continue to file a US return every year from abroad, using tools like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and foreign tax credits to avoid double taxation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/international-taxpayers\/us-citizens-and-residents-abroad-filing-requirements\">IRS<\/a>). You will also likely owe an annual <strong>FBAR<\/strong> (FinCEN Report 114) once your combined foreign accounts exceed $10,000 at any point in the year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/businesses\/small-businesses-self-employed\/report-of-foreign-bank-and-financial-accounts-fbar\">IRS<\/a>). A true tax &quot;exit&quot; only happens if you formally expatriate \u2014 renounce citizenship or surrender a long-term green card \u2014 which can trigger the mark-to-market <strong>exit tax under Section 877A<\/strong>, reported on <strong>Form 8854<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/instructions\/i8854\">IRS<\/a>). Most movers do not do this, but you should confirm your state tax residency rules too, as some states are stickier than others.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Ports and transit times<\/h2>\n<p>Ocean freight from the US to Sweden typically loads at a major East Coast container port \u2014 <strong>New York\/New Jersey, Baltimore, Norfolk, or Charleston<\/strong> \u2014 while West Coast moves often route through <strong>Los Angeles\/Long Beach<\/strong>. The usual Swedish gateway is the <strong>Port of Gothenburg (G\u00f6teborg)<\/strong>, Scandinavia&#8217;s largest port, with onward trucking to your address anywhere in the country. Air freight moves through hubs feeding <strong>Stockholm Arlanda (ARN)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The transit times below are <strong>freight-industry estimates, not official figures<\/strong>, and vary with sailing schedules, consolidation, weather and customs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sea (full or shared container):<\/strong> roughly 3\u20135 weeks port-to-port from the US East Coast to Gothenburg; expect <strong>6\u201312 weeks door-to-door<\/strong> once pickup, consolidation, clearance and final delivery are added.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Air freight:<\/strong> a few days in transit, but realistically <strong>1\u20133 weeks door-to-door<\/strong>. Faster, far more expensive, and best for a small essentials shipment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treat any single date a mover quotes as a target, not a guarantee.<\/p>\n<h2>4. The Sweden import side<\/h2>\n<p>When you move to Sweden from outside the EU you can bring your used household belongings <strong>free of customs duty and VAT<\/strong> if you meet the conditions. The core requirements: you must have had your normal residence outside the EU for a <strong>continuous period of at least one year<\/strong>; the goods must have been <strong>owned and used by you or your household for at least six months<\/strong> before the move; and you must intend to live in Sweden for at least a year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/moving\/movingtoandfromsweden\/movingtoswedenfromacountryoutsidetheeu\/movingtosweden.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d776.html\">Tullverket<\/a>). Relief covers the normal contents of a household \u2014 furniture, clothing, household goods, and even a car or pet (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/moving\/movingtoandfromsweden.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d72d.html\">Tullverket<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The actual form and process.<\/strong> You clear your shipment with a customs declaration plus the declaration for relief \u2014 <strong>form Tv 740.45, &quot;Declaration for obtaining relief from customs duty and tax on personal belongings when migrating to Sweden&quot;<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/download\/18.26dbb8018fc32e89b7184fa\/1776755472252\/Declaration%20for%20obtaining%20relief%20from%20customs%20duty%20and%20tax%20on%20personal%20belongings%20when%20migrating%20to%20Sweden.pdf\">Tullverket PDF<\/a>). Submit the completed, signed form to Swedish Customs as soon as the goods arrive; you can hand it to a customs officer at the border or give it to your moving company to lodge in advance. Miss it and you risk paying <strong>full duty, VAT and other taxes<\/strong> on the shipment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/moving\/movingtoandfromsweden\/frequentlyaskedquestionsoncustomsexemptionforpersonalbelongings.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d818.html\">Tullverket<\/a>). Keep an itemized inventory and proof of your US residence and the move \u2014 residence permit, employment contract \u2014 ready.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Population registration.<\/strong> Separately from customs, if you will live in Sweden for at least a year you register in the population register (<em>folkbokf\u00f6ring<\/em>) with the Swedish Tax Agency, which assigns your lifelong <strong>personnummer<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skatteverket.se\/servicelankar\/otherlanguages\/englishengelska\/individualsandemployees\/movingtosweden.4.7be5268414bea064694c40c.html\">Skatteverket<\/a>). Non-EU citizens need a valid residence permit first.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Pets<\/h2>\n<p>Sweden does not require quarantine for dogs and cats arriving from the US, but the paperwork is strict and starts weeks ahead. Your pet needs an <strong>ISO 11784\/11785 microchip fitted before the rabies vaccination<\/strong>, a valid rabies vaccination administered at least <strong>21 days<\/strong> before travel, and a <strong>USDA-endorsed EU animal health certificate<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/pet-travel\/us-to-another-country-export\/pet-travel-us-sweden\">APHIS<\/a>). On the US side, a USDA-accredited veterinarian completes the certificate, which USDA APHIS then endorses (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/pet-travel\/us-to-another-country-export\">APHIS export overview<\/a>). Because the US is a listed country with a documented and monitored rabies situation, a rabies antibody titre test is <strong>not<\/strong> mandatory \u2014 though Jordbruksverket recommends one \u2014 but confirm current status, as classifications change (<a href=\"https:\/\/jordbruksverket.se\/languages\/english\/swedish-board-of-agriculture\/animals\/pets---trade-and-travel\/movement-of-dogs-cats-and-ferrets-to-sweden\/movement-of-dogs-cats-and-ferrets-from-countries-outside-the-eu-where-the-rabies-situation-is-documented-and-monitored\">Jordbruksverket<\/a>). Non-EU pets may only enter Sweden through <strong>Stockholm Arlanda (ARN)<\/strong> or <strong>Gothenburg Landvetter (GOT)<\/strong>, and on arrival you must present the animal to Swedish Customs (the red channel) to have the certificate stamped \u2014 without that entry stamp the animal can be refused entry. Note that new EU pet-certificate rules take effect on <strong>1 October 2026<\/strong>, so check the dates before you travel.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Vehicles, money and things people forget<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Vehicles.<\/strong> You can import your car under the moving-goods relief, but registering it to drive in Sweden is a project. You first apply online to Transportstyrelsen for a <strong>verification of origin (<em>ursprungskontroll<\/em>)<\/strong>, then pass a <strong>registration inspection<\/strong> checking brakes, emissions and safety, and you must have Swedish traffic insurance before driving (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transportstyrelsen.se\/en\/road\/Vehicles\/Vehicle-import-and-verification-of-origin\/Import-from-countries-outside-the-EU\/\">Transportstyrelsen<\/a>). US-spec cars often need modifications, so many movers sell the car before leaving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Money.<\/strong> Leaving the US with <strong>more than $10,000<\/strong> in cash or monetary instruments requires filing <strong>FinCEN Form 105<\/strong> at the time of departure (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/travel\/international-visitors\/money-monetary-instruments\">CBP<\/a>). Entering Sweden with the equivalent of <strong>\u20ac10,000 or more<\/strong> requires a declaration to Swedish Customs, easiest done online (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/travelling\/bringinggoodswhentravelling\/travellingwithcashandorequivalentassets.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d9df.html\">Tullverket<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easily forgotten:<\/strong> alcohol, firearms and certain foods fall outside moving-goods relief; keep your inventory and receipts; and remember that your US tax and FBAR filing never stops just because you moved.<\/p>\n<h2>How Flyto handles your USA-to-Sweden move<\/h2>\n<p>Flyto runs strong in-house European operations \u2014 our own offices, warehouses, teams and vehicles across Northern, Central and Southern Europe \u2014 combined with a carefully chosen partner and subcontractor network for the legs we do not cover directly. For the US-to-Sweden corridor we coordinate the American export leg and the ocean or air freight through trusted forwarders, and we handle Swedish clearance and final delivery with our own teams and trusted local partners in Sweden, so your Tv 740.45 relief and delivery are managed end to end.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do I need my residence permit before I ship my belongings?<\/strong><br \/>\nYou should have it before you move. Duty relief requires a genuine intent to live in Sweden for at least a year, and your permit and Skatteverket registration are the evidence Customs relies on (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/moving\/movingtoandfromsweden\/frequentlyaskedquestionsoncustomsexemptionforpersonalbelongings.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d818.html\">Tullverket<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will I pay Swedish duty and VAT on my furniture?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, provided you meet the one-year-outside-the-EU, six-month-ownership and one-year-intent conditions and file form Tv 740.45 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/moving\/movingtoandfromsweden\/movingtoswedenfromacountryoutsidetheeu\/movingtosweden.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d776.html\">Tullverket<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I still file US taxes from Sweden?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. US citizens and green-card holders file worldwide-income returns regardless of residence, plus an FBAR when foreign accounts exceed $10,000 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/individuals\/international-taxpayers\/us-citizens-and-residents-abroad-filing-requirements\">IRS<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long does the shipment take?<\/strong><br \/>\nPlan for roughly 6\u201312 weeks door-to-door by sea and 1\u20133 weeks by air. These are freight-industry estimates, not guarantees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I bring my dog?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes \u2014 microchip, rabies vaccination at least 21 days old, and a USDA-endorsed EU health certificate, entering via Arlanda or Landvetter (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/pet-travel\/us-to-another-country-export\/pet-travel-us-sweden\">APHIS<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about moving back to the US later?<\/strong><br \/>\nMoving from Sweden to a non-EU country is handled by Swedish Customs on the export side (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tullverket.se\/en\/startpage\/private\/moving\/movingtoandfromsweden\/movingfromswedentoanoneucountry.4.311bf4f016e69d6ea0d806.html\">Tullverket<\/a>). On the US import side, CBP allows returning residents to bring personal effects, and pets re-enter under APHIS\/CDC rules \u2014 CDC is the primary authority for dogs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/pet-travel\/another-country-to-us-import\">APHIS import<\/a>).
