We’re proud to always provide a reliable, professional, and efficient service to our customers, helping them with a smooth transition to their new home abroad.
Belgium Removals
To ensure your move to Belgium is a success, we’ll begin the process by carrying out a pre-move survey. This will enable us to put together a detailed plan for your move, so our team know what vehicles and equipment will be needed, any extra services you need, and what sort of packing material will be required. We’ll discuss your needs and timeframe, so we can get you set up in your new home on your schedule and tailor our services to you.
If there’s anything you’ll be leaving behind, we also provide long-term storage in London. We can streamline your storage by delivering a container to your home, loading your items, and then taking it to our secure warehouse. Your items will be kept safe until you need them again.

Shipping to Belgium
Britannia Ryansmove has two different options for shipping your belongings to Belgium.
Sea freight
Sea freight is the most common way to transport goods to Belgium. It is often the cheapest method but can take the longest time. On average, it can take two to four days to transport belongings to Belgium via sea freight, but it can take longer if there are delays at port.
Air freight
Air freight is another option to ship your belongings to Belgium. It is usually more expensive than sea freight but it can be much quicker, typically taking just a couple of days. Shipping your items via air freight might be the better option if you need to move quickly.

Belgium Customs and Imports
Getting your belongings through customs can be a complicated process, but Britannia Ryansmove will assign you an international relocation agent who will provide support and guidance for what will be needed.
To move your belongings to Belgium, you’ll need a detailed inventory list of everything that you’ll be taking, which will need to include the value of each item. If the customs officials in Belgium think your inventory is lacking, they may conduct a physical inspection of your shipment, which will mean extra fees.
You are able to move your belongings to the UK from Belgium as long as certain conditions are met. These include owning your items for at least six months and importing them within a year of your arrival in Belgium.
It is prohibited to bring psychotropic drugs and narcotics into Belgium, as well as animal products from outside the EU. Weapons and ammunition will need a special licence and there are restrictions on importing traditional Chinese medicine.
