If you are moving to the United Kingdom, whether to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, Britannia Baxter Shipping has the local knowledge and experience to tailor the move to as per your needs. Air freight and sea freight are the two primary modes of transportation from UAE to UK.
Air Freight from UAE to UK
If you are planning for a quick trip and you don’t want to wait longer then a cargo jet can transport your items from anywhere in the world to the UK in just 2-3 days.
Expensive—you pay a significant premium for air freight, so it’s not ideal if you’re on a tight budget.
Sea Freight from UAE to UK
Sea freight is often five times less expensive than air freight, making it a far more cost-effective option. Container ships typically take several weeks to finish their journey, so prepare ahead of time. Baxter can ensure that your goods are safe and reach the right destination.
Container shipping
If you pick sea freight, you will either use a 20ft or a 40ft container. But you are not required to fill the entire container; if the overall volume of your cargo is less than 15 cubic meters, you will share the use of a container with other persons in a process known as Less Than Container Load (LCL). Most of our shipping partners offer full door-to-door service, which means they will transport your goods from your old home to your new one.
Important shipping ports
The five largest container terminals in the UK are Port of Felixstowe (southeast England), Port of Southampton (southeast England), Belfast Harbour (Northern Ireland), Port of Immingham (northeast England) & Port of Grangemouth (Scotland). The port destination of your shipment is ultimately determined by where you are moving to in the UK. Once your things arrive in the UK, they must clear customs before being transported by truck and/or train to your new home.

Customs Clearance while Relocating to UK
The UK customs process may appear difficult, but our knowledgeable shipping partners will walk you through it. Here’s some general advice:
You must produce an inventory (i.e., a packing list) of the items you intend to bring into the UK and declare everything.
If you are traveling from the EU, you may bring your household goods and personal items into the UK duty-free. Duty-free shipments are still feasible if you are coming from outside the EU, but you must have owned and used your household items for at least six months previous to your move date (and intend to use them in the future).
Customs officers may physically inspect your container, so make sure you understand what is and isn’t permitted into the nation. For additional information, visit the official UK Customs (HMRC) website.
