Planning for the right island
Packing and removals, with the right island in view.
Moving to Saint Kitts or Nevis, or sending belongings ahead? Tell us what you want to take and where it needs to arrive. Our team handles the survey and manages the job, with professional packing and furniture help for your move.
For a shipment starting on either island, choose the outward route and give the actual destination. Neither direction confirms route availability, collection, cargo acceptance, transport, timing, price, declaration choice or a customs outcome.
Two islands, specific instructions
Tell us which island and area your belongings are going to. The two islands need their own receiving arrangements, so the country name alone is not enough.
For a Saint Kitts address, give the area and a contact who can explain access to the property. Describe any stairs, parking restrictions or carrying distance, especially when furniture needs to be moved.
Say which items need packing, dismantling or reassembly so the quotation can relate the work to your household and receiving address.
For a Nevis request, identify Nevis explicitly rather than giving only the country name. Ask the team to explain the final handover, any further movement and the work and charges proposed for your receiving address.
If you will manage paperwork or receiving tasks yourself, make that clear. An arrangement described for Saint Kitts does not establish the same arrangement for Nevis.
Choose the work you need
From a few boxes to the contents of your home, start with the help you need. We will talk through the belongings, packing and receiving arrangements with you.
Sending barrels or boxes? Tell us how many, what is inside and their outside measurements. If you have different sizes, list them separately.
Plan your barrels and boxes Plan the move around your homeMoving home? List the furniture and belongings you want to take. Tell us about access at both addresses and any furniture that needs dismantling and reassembly.
Plan your household move Practical help with packingOur team includes specialists with over 20 years of experience in international packing. Tell us what needs preparing, which pieces are fragile and whether furniture must be taken apart before collection.
Talk through the packing Vehicles and business goodsSending a vehicle or business goods? Tell us what you are sending, its size, approximate weight and condition. We will need to check acceptance and the import requirements for your shipment.
Discuss your vehicle or cargo Planning your spaceHave an idea of how much space your belongings will take? Compare the reference sizes, then ask us about a suitable container option. The guide does not reserve equipment or space.
Compare planning spaceGet the practical details ready
Give us the collection town or area and your preferred dates. If your belongings are starting outside the UK, use that country and address so we can review the actual journey.
Identify the receiving island and full address, with a local contact for access questions. You can request agent paperwork help and home delivery or choose shipping to port and manage your own paperwork. The quotation must name the island and the work agreed for it; one island's arrangements do not establish the other's.
Make a list of the goods and packages, with quantities and any items needing extra care. Keep it up to date as your plans change, and use matching labels so the receiver can identify the packages.
Official checks
This page prepares questions. It does not select or complete a declaration, classify goods, appoint a clearing party, decide whether a licence or concession applies, or determine duties, charges, inspection, release or clearance.
The 2012 procedures manual covers declarations, responsible parties and supporting records. Gather the transport, invoice, packing and other records already available, then confirm the current list and process with the responsible authority or appointed specialist.

Before your island move
The quotation needs to describe the actual receiving address, handover and work requested. Name Saint Kitts or Nevis when describing the shipment; do not assume that arrangements or charges stated for one island apply to the other.
Yes. Full-service household moves include professional international packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly. Tell us which pieces need help and describe access at both addresses so the survey and quotation reflect your move.
Gather the transport, invoice, packing and supporting records already available. Confirm the current list and procedure with the responsible authority or appointed specialist for the actual goods and circumstances.
Vehicles, controlled goods, licences, concessions, duties and charges require separate current confirmation. This page does not classify goods, decide eligibility or calculate an amount.
Check current eligibility and approval before relying on a concession. The Government information explains its process; this page does not decide whether a person or shipment qualifies.
Choose the route-from option above and tell us where your belongings need to go. We will review that journey separately. Guidance for goods arriving on the islands does not replace the export checks for goods leaving.

Start with the main shipment. Add supporting services only when they are useful, so the enquiry stays clear.
