International removals: where are you moving to?

Pick a destination to see the route and its guide. When you're ready, tell us about the move and we'll pass your enquiry to a suitable partner removal company, which assesses, quotes and carries out the work. The introduction is free.

How the introduction works

From your enquiry to the right moving company

International Removals Companies is an enquiry and introduction service. We don't move anything ourselves: a partner removal company does, and you agree the work directly with it.

  1. Tell us the route

    Where the move starts, where it's going, roughly what's travelling and when you hope to move.

  2. We pass it on

    We'll pass your enquiry to a suitable partner removal company that covers the route, in partnership with AGM Group.

  3. Your mover assesses and quotes

    The company may ask for a survey, photos or a video call, then sends you its written quotation.

  4. You decide

    Check what the quotation covers. If you accept it, your mover carries out the work you've agreed.

The introduction is free. It doesn't include the cost of the move, which your mover quotes for.

Services

What you can ask an overseas removal company to quote for

Mention everything that's travelling in your enquiry. Your mover confirms what it can carry out on your route and puts it in writing. Our free moving tools help you list what's going.

Pets

Pet travel has its own rules and certificates. Mention pets in your enquiry so your mover can explain what it arranges.

Fine art and antiques

Declare valuable or fragile pieces at the assessment, so packing and insurance can be discussed before you accept.

Foreign exchange

Moving money abroad? See an indicative conversion, then ask for a quote from the currency provider we introduce. We receive a fee from the provider when we introduce you. Try the currency converter

Not sure which applies? Describe the move in your own words and your mover will explain the options.

Every direction

Moving abroad, to the UK, or between EU countries

International movers handle routes in every direction. The rules, documents and questions to ask change with the direction of the move.

UKAbroad

Leaving the UK

Start with the guide for your destination, then send both addresses, a rough list of what's going and your dates.

  • Say whether it will be your main home or a holiday home
  • Describe access at both ends: parking, stairs, lifts, narrow lanes
  • Ask what each quotation includes before you compare totals

AbroadUK

Moving to the UK

UK import rules apply on the way in, and they aren't the same for Great Britain and Northern Ireland. HMRC's transfer of residence relief has conditions, and it doesn't cover goods from second or holiday homes.

  • Give the overseas collection address and your UK delivery address
  • Ask who handles the UK declaration
  • Say if your UK home won't be ready, so storage can be quoted

EUEU

EU to EU

Moving from one EU country to another, for example Spain to Belgium. Tell us the town at each end and what's going. We'll pass your enquiry to a suitable partner removal company and check partner coverage for the route.

  • Give the collection and delivery towns and countries
  • Describe access at both ends: parking, stairs, lifts, narrow streets
  • Share a rough inventory, your dates, and whether the move is permanent
  • The destination country may have its own registration or residence formalities. Check them with its authorities

Your Europe says EU citizens may be required to register their residence with the local authority after three months in another EU country. Facts checked: 22 October 2026

When you send an enquiry, we'll pass it to a suitable partner. That company assesses your household, quotes for the international removal and carries out the work you agree with it. Your contract for the move is with your mover.
