International Removals from the UK

We run regular international trips to: Spain (Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, Barcelona, Madrid), Portugal (Algarve, Lisbon, Porto), France (Paris, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Nice, Dordogne), Germany (Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg), Italy (Rome, Milan, Florence, Tuscany), Ireland (Dublin, Cork, Galway), Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague), Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp), Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth), USA (New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Miami) and Dubai (UAE).

Each destination has its own pricing, transit time, customs treatment and quirks. Tap any destination below for a detailed country guide.

All European moves use road transport via Eurotunnel or Dover-Calais ferry then onward through France, Spain, Germany or Italy. Since Brexit, every UK to EU move needs a formal customs declaration and a T1 transit document.

New EU residents qualify for Transfer of Residence relief on used personal effects owned for over 6 months no VAT or duty payable. We prepare all paperwork.

Australia, the USA and the UAE are container shipments via sea (8-12 weeks Australia, 4-8 weeks USA, 5-8 weeks Dubai). We export-pack and load the container in the UK, seal it with a numbered customs seal and ship from Felixstowe, Southampton or London Gateway.

Customs and quarantine in Australia (DAFF), the USA (CBP) and Dubai (Federal Customs Authority) have very specific requirements we brief you in detail and handle the paperwork end-to-end.

Many international moves 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've completed your UK sale but the destination property isn't ready.

Storage is invoiced monthly and combined with the export packing and shipment under one coordinator and one quote.
