4-7 weeks door-to-door. This includes UK collection (1-2 days), sea freight (8-12 days Atlantic crossing), US customs clearance (3-5 days), and NYC delivery (2-4 days). Dedicated containers are faster (3-4 weeks). Peak season (summer) add 1-2 weeks.
A 1-bedroom flat costs £2,000-£3,200 for part-load (shared container) or £4,500-£6,000 for dedicated 20ft container. A 3-bedroom house costs £4,200-£6,000 part-load or £7,500-£10,500 dedicated. Prices include packing, shipping, customs, and NYC delivery.
Yes. Almost all NYC buildings (especially Manhattan) require Certificate of Insurance before allowing movers. Your moving company provides this—it's proof they carry proper liability insurance. Buildings typically require 30 days advance notice to approve COI.
No. UK uses 240V electricity; USA uses 110V. UK appliances will not work properly even with plug adapters. Voltage converters are expensive and unreliable. Sell UK appliances and buy US versions. Exception: Phone chargers and laptops usually work with both voltages (check label).
Storage is available at US port or NYC warehouse. Port storage: approximately $50-80 per cubic metre per week. NYC warehouse storage: $80-120 per cubic metre per week. Try to coordinate apartment lease start date with shipping arrival. Allow 1-2 week buffer.
No, if you qualify for duty-free import. Requirements: valid US work visa or Green Card, owned goods in UK 12+ months, importing for personal use within reasonable time of US arrival. Tourist visas do NOT qualify for duty-free—you'll pay duty on everything.
Port of New York/New Jersey (Newark, Elizabeth NJ terminals). One of busiest ports in USA. Your goods clear customs here before NYC delivery. Port is located in New Jersey, approximately 15-20 miles from Manhattan.
Yes, but expensive (£800-1,500 shipping alone). Consider: (1) UK cars are right-hand drive—USA drives on right side of road. This makes UK cars difficult and potentially dangerous in USA. (2) US emissions and safety standards differ—your UK car may not pass NY inspection. (3) NYC parking costs $300-600/month. Most NYC residents don't own cars. Recommendation: Sell car in UK, use NYC public transport.
