International Removals
International removals cover moving your belongings from the UK to another country. Moving abroad involves more planning than a local move, including packing for a longer journey, the transport itself and the paperwork needed for customs at the destination. Tell us where you are going and what you plan to take, and we will discuss how the move can be arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our international removals service.
How much does an international move cost?
International moves are priced on the volume of belongings, the destination, the transport method, packing, any storage and the documentation involved. A full household and a few boxes are priced very differently.
What documents will I need?
Requirements vary by country, but you usually need a detailed inventory of your belongings, your passport and proof of your new address, and sometimes visa or residency documents. Check the customs rules of the country you are moving to.
Are there items I can't take abroad?
Every country restricts some items, such as certain foods, plants, alcohol, medicines and hazardous materials. Check the destination's customs rules, and tell us about anything unusual when you request a quote.
How early should I start planning an international move?
As early as you can. Moving abroad involves more stages than a move within the UK, so leave time to arrange packing, documents and transport before your date.
