Singapore Removals
We can help to transport all manner of goods to Singapore from the UK. We’ll first conduct a pre-move survey, either in-person or via video. This will let us see exactly what is required for your move to Singapore, allowing us to properly prepare for a hassle-free move. We can also discuss your moving dates and potential timeframes for moving your belonging to Singapore.
If you don’t want to take all your items with you, we can further help by providing long-term storage in our state-of-the-art storage facility. We’ll keep your items safe and sound until you return.
Commercial Moves to Singapore
Britannia Ryansmove is well established to help with your commercial and business moves to Singapore. We have the equipment and knowledge to transport your items safely and securely, so you can set up in your new location in Singapore. We can tailor your removals plan to your specific requirements, and we’ll always go the extra mile to ensure things are managed efficiently. We can also provide business and document storage, archiving your paperwork in specialised boxes and ensuring it’s barcoded and ordered to your filing system.
Shipping to Singapore
We have a choice for transport to get your items to Singapore, and we can work with you to find the best solution based on your timeframe and budget.
Container shipping
Container shipping by sea freight is our standard mode of transportation. It is usually the most cost-effective method, although it can take weeks to transport your possessions in this way. It can be ideal for those that know about their move well in advance, allowing us to begin transporting your items before your moving date. We can often also provide affordable rates by combining shipments into one container with other movers.
Air freight
Air freight is the quickest method for transporting your items to Singapore, but it comes with a higher price tag. It can be an effective solution if you have few possessions to move, or if you have a smaller timeframe to work within.

We know that when you’re undertaking an international move, you’ll likely need more than just removals services. This is why we can offer you the following additional services, to help make your move stress-free:
- Storage facilities

Singapore Customs and Imports
Britannia Ryansmove can provide advice and guidance for the necessary customs forms and paperwork needed for your specific shipment to Singapore. In general, importing personal effects into Singapore will incur a Goods and Services Tax (GST). You will need to obtain a permit to import your items and pay the GST.
You will qualify for GST relief and be able to avoid the payment if you are a Singapore citizen returning to Singapore, or a foreign citizen transferring your residence. The goods will need to be imported within the first six months that you arrive in Singapore, and you will need to be present at customs for them to clear.
Liquor, tobacco, automobiles, private aircraft, boats and commercial goods are not eligible for GST relief, even if you qualify under the other conditions. The Singapore Customs website has a list of prohibited and controlled goods for import, so you can check before you travel.
