Can it be a relatives address as we don't know where we are going to live?

I wont be living there but that's what I've done ... I really don't like lying on official forms.

It's not lying. Customs & Excise just want a UK contact address in case they need one if something is amiss.

From what you yourself quoted, they are clearly asking for your choice of two alternative pieces of information: EITHER an address where you can be contacted OR your new home address. If you don't a

From what you yourself quoted, they are clearly asking for your choice of two alternative pieces of information: EITHER an address where you can be contacted OR your new home address. If you don't agree with that, perhaps you'd care to explain why they ask for the same information twice, separated by an "or"?
