How We Can Ease the Process of Moving to the UK From Abu Dhabi

Whether you’re moving to the UK for work, to reunite with family, or just for a change, we can help with the logistics of packing and transporting all your furniture and other belongings. You’ll have enough to do arranging your move, so we can come in and pack everything up for you to save you the stress, and we’ll use the best quality materials such as breathable foam to ensure everything survives the trip. As we’re experienced full-service Abu Dhabi to UK movers, we sort out transport for your property, and we have links to moving companies within the UK so the process will be smooth in both countries. We do everything we can to get your items to your new home in one piece, but when you’re transporting things hundreds of miles and dealing with the customs systems of two countries, there are risks. To give you peace of mind, we offer insurance options so if there is any damage, you’re protected. Knowing your furniture and other belongings are in safe hands eases a lot of the stress of a big move, and we’re happy to help. We can’t prepare you for all the rain they get in the UK, though, but we’re sure you’ll get used to it quickly.

Top 10 FAQs for Easytruck International Moving Services

How long does shipping take from Abu Dhabi to the UK?

Sea freight from Abu Dhabi to UK ports (Southampton, Felixstowe, Liverpool) typically takes 4-6 weeks . Air freight takes 6-10 days but costs significantly more. Total door-to-door service including packing, customs clearance, and delivery usually takes 6-8 weeks. We recommend booking 6-8 weeks before your desired moving date.

What are the UK customs regulations for personal belongings from Abu Dhabi?

The UK allows duty-free import of personal effects if you’re moving permanently and have owned items for over 6 months. You’ll need to complete a Transfer of Residence (ToR) declaration. New items, alcohol over allowances, and commercial goods may incur duties and VAT. We handle all customs documentation and clearance procedures.

Are there any restrictions on items I can bring from Abu Dhabi to the UK?

The UK prohibits certain items including weapons, controlled substances, endangered species products, and some foods. Electrical items must meet UK safety standards. Large furniture pieces may need fumigation certificates. We provide a detailed restricted items list and advise on compliance requirements.

Can I ship my car from Abu Dhabi to the UK?

Yes, we arrange vehicle shipping from Abu Dhabi to the UK. Your car must meet UK/EU standards and pass an Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) test. Right-hand drive vehicles are preferred. We coordinate with DVLA registration, insurance, and MOT testing requirements upon arrival.

What Brexit implications should I consider when moving from Abu Dhabi to the UK?

Post-Brexit, customs procedures are more stringent. EU goods may face additional checks if transited through EU ports. We stay updated on changing regulations and work with experienced UK customs agents to ensure smooth clearance. Processing times may be slightly longer than pre-Brexit.

How much does it cost to move from Abu Dhabi to the UK?

A typical 3-bedroom household move costs AED AED 20,000 – 35000 for sea freight, depending on volume and destination within the UK. London deliveries may cost more due to congestion charges. Costs include packing, shipping, insurance, customs clearance, and UK delivery. Air freight costs 3-5 times more than sea freight.

What insurance coverage do you recommend for Abu Dhabi to UK moves?

We recommend comprehensive “All Risks” coverage for international moves to the UK. This covers damage from handling, weather, and transport incidents. Standard coverage is based on weight (about £5 per kg), while full replacement value coverage provides better protection for valuable items.

How do you handle customs clearance and VAT in the UK?

We work with licensed UK customs brokers who handle all clearance procedures, including ToR applications and VAT calculations. Most personal effects qualify for duty-free status, but we’ll advise if any items incur charges. Customs clearance typically takes 1-3 days depending on inspection requirements.

Can you deliver to different UK cities, and are there additional costs?

Yes, we deliver throughout the UK including major cities like London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and smaller towns. Delivery costs vary by location – remote areas like Scottish Highlands or Northern Ireland may incur additional charges. Urban deliveries may have timing restrictions due to traffic regulations.

What support do you provide after my belongings arrive in the UK?

Our UK partners provide unpacking services, furniture assembly, and debris removal. We can coordinate utility connections and provide local supplier contacts. If items are damaged, we handle insurance claims and arrange repairs/replacements through our UK network. Customer support continues until you’re fully settled.
