Restricted/prohibited items: Alcohol, firearms, and certain electronics may require permits.
Shipping routes: Most removals are routed through Spain or France, with final delivery into Andorra by road.
Professional movers working with Advance Moves ensure your belongings clear customs smoothly and without unnecessary delays.
