Moving your whole home from the UK to Jamaica is a bigger job than sending a barrel, and a full removals service takes it off your hands. One vetted mover packs your home, loads a container, ships it, clears it through customs and delivers to your new address. If you're moving back for good, the returning residents concession can bring your used belongings in duty-free. Tell us about your move and we'll connect you with one vetted partner. Asking is free.

A full removals service handles the whole move from start to finish. It usually runs like this: a survey and a firm quote, professional packing of your belongings, loading into a container, sea freight to Jamaica, customs clearing at the wharf, and delivery to your new address. Some partners will unpack at the other end too. The idea is simple: you point at your home, and one mover takes it from there.
For a full household move, partners hold FIDI FAIM, the worldwide standard for international movers, so your belongings are in experienced hands the whole way.
Most home moves travel in a container. A 20ft suits a smaller home of one to two bedrooms, while a 40ft takes a larger household. If you're sending less than a full home, a shared part load splits the space and costs less. Your mover measures up during the survey so you book the right size and don't pay for room you won't use. The shipping container guide covers the sizes in detail.
A whole-home move is more than loading boxes. Your mover export-packs your belongings, dismantles beds, wardrobes and large furniture for the crossing, loads and secures everything in the container, then reassembles it at your Jamaica address. Heavy or awkward pieces, from pianos to marble tables and appliances, are crated and palletised. Sending specific pieces rather than a whole home? See furniture shipping to Jamaica.
Your shipment clears at Kingston or Montego Bay, whichever is nearer your new home, then travels on by road. You'll need your TRN, ID and the shipping paperwork, and your mover's local agent guides you through it.
Moving back to Jamaica for good? As a returning resident you may bring your used personal and household effects in under a one-time duty concession, arranged after you arrive on Form C27. A car is separate, with no concession and full duty. The returning residents and car shipping guides cover both.
A full-home container move runs into a few thousand pounds, set mainly by how much you're sending, where you are in the UK, and where in Jamaica you're going. Sharing a container or sending less keeps the cost down. By sea it's roughly three weeks, and about four to six weeks door to door once you add clearance. The cost guide breaks down the numbers.
We move people to every part of the island, from Kingston and Montego Bay to Mandeville and Spanish Town, with the full list on the Jamaica hub.
Most moves to Jamaica involve some currency at some point, from a deposit to day-to-day cash. We've long connected customers with trusted partners who deal in any currency, taking that off your plate.

Moving a whole home? The partner carries FIDI FAIM, the global benchmark for overseas movers, checked by an independent Ernst and Young audit.
