Shipping a Container to the UK

Shipping your belongings to the UK is straightforward with the right paperwork and an experienced international mover.

Customs relief

If you are moving your main home to the UK, you may be able to bring your used belongings without paying duty or VAT under Transfer of Residence relief. There are conditions and an application to make before you ship, so check GOV.UK and ask your mover.

Container or shared space

For a full home a 20ft or 40ft container is common; smaller moves often go in a shared container (LCL). Estimate your volume with our moving size calculator.
