Oversea removals
Door-to-door international shipping to six continents. From professional packing at your UK
home to delivery and unpacking at your destination – we manage every detail of your move
abroad.
Destinations
We handle the full scope of an international move – from the initial survey at your UK
property through to placing furniture in your new home on the other side of the world. Every
consignment is professionally packed, customs-documented, and tracked throughout transit.
Removals to USA
Weekly container departures to every major US port. Whether you’re heading to New York, Los Angeles, or anywhere between – we’ll get your household there safely, on time, and through customs without complications.
Removals to Canada
From Surrey to Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, or anywhere across Canada’s provinces. We handle the packing, the paperwork, and the customs interview prep – you focus on starting your new chapter.
Removals to Australia
It’s one of the longest moves you can make – and one of the most rewarding. From our depot in Surrey to your new front door in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, or Brisbane, we manage the distance, the paperwork, and Australia’s famously strict biosecurity requirements.
Removals to New Zealand
The furthest destination we ship to – and one we know well. From our Surrey depot to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or the South Island, we plan your move around New Zealand’s 17-19 week transit window and strict biosecurity standards.
Removals to UAE
Almost every consignment undergoes physical inspection, there’s a longer list of prohibited items than most countries, and you’ll need your Emirates ID and residence visa in hand before your goods can clear. We manage all of this so you can focus on settling in.
Removals to South Africa
One of the few destinations where Britannia has its own offices on the ground – in both Cape Town and Johannesburg. Whether you’re emigrating, returning home, or relocating for work, you’ll deal with Britannia people from start to finish. No third-party handoffs.

OVERSEAS REMOVALS||What's the difference between sole use and shared containers?
A sole use container is exclusively yours – ideal for larger households. A shared (groupage)
container combines your goods with other shipments heading to the same region, which is
more cost-effective for smaller volumes. Both options are fully insured and tracked.
OVERSEAS REMOVALS||How long does an overseas move take?
Transit times vary by destination. Shared containers typically take 10-19 weeks door to door
depending on the country, while sole use containers are faster at 6-16 weeks. We'll give you
a specific estimate based on your destination during the survey.
OVERSEAS REMOVALS||Do you handle customs paperwork?
Yes. We prepare all UK export documentation and our destination agents coordinate import
clearance. You'll need to complete certain forms before shipping – we provide everything and
walk you through each one.
OVERSEAS REMOVALS||Can you ship my car overseas?
Vehicle shipping is possible to most destinations, though import rules, duties, and emission
standards vary by country. We'll advise on the specific requirements during your
consultation.
STORAGE||What happens if I need storage at the destination?
Our agents can arrange secure storage at your destination for as long as you need. Charges
are payable locally and we'll ensure your marine insurance covers the storage period.
