Shipping Your Belongings to France from Wales
Britannia Robbins will carefully catalogue your belongings and ensure they are securely loaded for shipping to France.
If you have a larger shipment, we’ll arrange for your own shipping container. For smaller loads, we can combine your consignment with others heading to France, so you’ll only need to pay for the space you need.
We offer two primary shipping methods to transport your belongings to France:
- Sea Freight: Ideal for large shipments, this cost-effective option takes around 1-4 weeks, depending on your destination and whether you have a full or part-load. We’ll ensure your items are securely packed and shipped to arrive safely.
- Air Freight: For smaller, time-sensitive shipments, air freight delivers your items in as little as 7–14 days. While this option is more expensive than sea freight, it can be a great choice for essential belongings when you’re on a short timeframe.
France Customs and Imports
When moving to France from Wales, understanding customs and import regulations is crucial to ensure a smooth relocation. With the changes introduced after Brexit, customs procedures have become more detailed, but Britannia Robbins is here to guide you through every step.
If you are moving to France permanently, you can typically import your personal belongings duty-free, provided you have owned them for at least six months, they are for personal use and not for resale, and you have completed the required declaration for duty-free imports.
France has strict regulations on certain items. Drugs, counterfeit goods, weapons, and certain types of plants and animal products are all prohibited. Alcohol, tobacco, and antiques will require certain permits, or may be subject to additional inspections. Our team will advise you on what can and cannot be imported to avoid any issues during customs clearance.
Your shipment will require a detailed inventory to clear French customs, and you’ll need to show you have proof of residence. We’ll liaise with customs authorities to ensure your belongings are cleared efficiently, avoiding delays or unexpected charges.
