Moving to the UK from Dubai
Shipping from Dubai to the United Kingdom
The authorities tend to be proactive and transparent when it comes to shipping to the UK. Providing you follow the steps, submit your application in advance, the clearance process is often very smooth and things like import duty and taxes are not applied, unless your goods are new, or in large quantities.
How much does this cost?
Our service is totally FREE, you will be contacted by moving companies for your free quotes.
When should I start looking for quotes for my relocation to the UK?
We recommend obtaining your quotes to the UK at least 2-3 months before your target move date.
This ensures enough time to review your quotes and formally advise the shipping company you have chosen, securing your preferred moving dates.
And enough time to arrange your visa/travel documents and all the other formalities you have to contend with before your move.
How much tax do I need to pay?
If you have owned and used your goods for 12 months or more then you should be able to secure duty-free entry to the UK. Consult your mover for more details.

FAQ for Shipping to the UK
What is the cost of moving to the UK from Dubai?
The cost of relocating from Dubai to the UK depends on a number of factors.
The most important factor is the volume of furniture you are moving. The more furniture you move, the higher cost.
Secondly is the Mode of shipping you choose.
You can choose to move your items in your own shipping container, or if you’re moving only a few items and only a small amount of furniture you could choose a shared container.
How long does it take to ship to the UK?
When estimating how long shipping to the UK from Dubai takes, we have to consider the mode the goods would be travelling in. Air is the quickest and Sea is the slowest.
Approximate transit times
Air Shipment – (3 – 4 Days)
Sole Container by Sea – (25 – 35 Days)
Part Container by Sea – (45 – 70 Days)
Another consideration when estimating time-frame is processing the shipment and customs clearance in Dubai and in the UK. We would allow up to 1 week at both ends. (Airfreight should take a couple of days at both ends).
