So we have just made it through customs with our van jam packed with our home goods from U.K. .

They stopped all of the vans and was checking each one .

Four custom men stood by our van and the boss man asked for the manifest.

My organised husband had done a complete list of every numbered  box and its contents in Spanish and English how long we have owned items and cost.

The boss man looked at the manifest took it to his boss then came back and wanted to know the full cost of the entire van even though most items were over a year old .

He then came back to us and said well done for the complete paperwork and sent us on our way .

Well done to my husband.

Thought I would post this to help others coming over with household goods from U.K. 

Any questions please pm 

ps we have residencia.

well done it just goes to show that diligence pays off and preparation was the way forward.  they were probably so flumaxed by the fact that you  had it all listed they didn't know what to do!  hope you don't arrive in all the rain we are having, hope you will enjoy your new life here.
