What are you moving?
International Removals from the UK to Egypt
Whether you are relocating to Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, or another Egyptian city, Anglo Pacific manages your full removal from the UK. We handle professional packing, sea freight, Egyptian customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery. Our pricing is transparent and itemised, with no hidden charges, so you know exactly what you are paying for from the outset.
We have been managing international removals for over 40 years and are members of the British Association of Removers (BAR) and FIDI FAIM accredited. Whether you are moving a small selection of furniture or a full household, we adapt the service to your volume and budget.
Shipping Options and Pricing for Your Move to Egypt
We offer Groupage, FCL, and air freight for UK to Egypt removals. Understanding which option suits your volume is the most effective way to manage the cost of your removal.
Groupage: The Most Cost-Effective Option for Smaller Moves
Groupage consolidates your belongings with those of other customers moving to the same Egyptian port. You pay only for the space your consignment occupies, meaning a smaller move costs proportionately less. If you are moving the contents of one or two rooms, a selection of furniture, or personal effects rather than a full household, Groupage is almost always the most affordable route. Your goods are professionally packed, inventoried, and consolidated at our UK warehouse before the container is sealed and shipped.
FCL (Full Container Load)
An FCL gives you sole use of a 20ft or 40ft container. Because the container is yours alone, it departs as soon as loading is complete, without waiting for consolidation, and transit times are approximately 2 weeks shorter than Groupage. FCL suits larger household moves or customers who need a confirmed departure date. For three-bedroom homes and above, FCL is typically the practical choice.
Air Freight
Air freight to Egypt takes up to 10 days and is available for priority items or smaller consignments. The cost per kilogram is considerably higher than sea freight, so air freight is best reserved for essential or high-value items needed at your Egyptian address before the main shipment arrives.
How We Keep Removal Costs Manageable
The most significant factor in the cost of a UK to Egypt removal is the volume of goods you are shipping. The smaller the volume, the lower the cost. Groupage means you pay only for the space you use, making it a genuinely proportionate option. Our quotes are itemised so you can see exactly what each element costs. We do not add hidden charges after the survey. If cost is your primary concern, tell our team at the pre-move survey and we will structure your quote to give you the clearest possible picture of your options.
Egyptian Customs Clearance for UK Removals
All household goods and personal effects entering Egypt must be declared to and cleared by the Egyptian Customs Authority. People relocating to Egypt who have been residing abroad and are establishing residence in the country may be eligible to import used household goods with a reduction in customs duty, subject to Egyptian customs conditions. Items must be used personal effects and your residency or work documentation must be in order before your shipment arrives at port.
Anglo Pacific prepares your Egyptian customs documentation as part of the removal service and advises on what to declare accurately before packing begins. Egyptian customs procedures can be thorough and complete paperwork reduces the risk of delays or additional charges at port.
Anglo Pacific provides an end-to-end removal service. This means we handle every stage of your move, from packing at your UK home through to final delivery and unpacking at your Egypt address.
- Professional packing at your UK home with specialist materials and a full itemised inventory
- Collection from anywhere in the UK, including Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland
- Sea freight to Alexandria or Port Said on the appropriate sailing
- Egyptian customs clearance documentation and guidance on your goods declaration
- Port handling and inland road delivery to Cairo or other inland addresses
- Delivery, unpacking, and removal of packing materials at your new home
Anglo Pacific handles removals from Egypt to the UK as well as the outbound journey. Whether you are a British national returning from Egypt, an Egyptian national relocating to the UK, or moving for any reason, we manage collection from your Egyptian address, sea freight, UK customs clearance, and delivery to your UK home.
Transfer of Residence Relief for UK Returns
If you are returning to the UK after living abroad for at least 12 consecutive months, you may be entitled to Transfer of Residence (ToR) Relief from HMRC, allowing you to import personal belongings to the UK free of customs duty and VAT, subject to eligibility.
Transparent, Competitive Pricing
We understand that cost is the primary concern for many people moving to Egypt. Our quotes are fully itemised with no hidden charges. For smaller moves, Groupage means you pay only for the space your consignment occupies.

Anglo Pacific handles the full range of household goods and personal effects for removals to Egypt. Whether you are moving a small selection of furniture or a complete household, we adapt the service to your volume and budget.
Household Furniture and Effects
Sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining furniture, white goods, and kitchen appliances can all be shipped by Groupage or FCL.
Smaller and Furniture-Only Shipments
Our Groupage service is well suited to furniture-only shipments and smaller moves. You pay only for the space your goods occupy, keeping costs proportionate to your shipment size. This is the most affordable route for customers moving furniture or personal effects rather than a full household.
Personal Effects and Excess Baggage
For very small volumes, our baggage shipping service may be more cost-effective than Groupage. Contact our team to compare options for your volume.

The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, whether you choose Groupage or FCL, your UK collection address, and your Egyptian delivery city. Groupage is the most affordable option for smaller moves because you pay only for the space your consignment occupies. Cairo is an inland city served by road haulage from Alexandria, which adds to the overall cost. We provide itemised, transparent quotes with no hidden charges following a pre-move survey. Request a free quote online or call our Egypt team for an accurate estimate based on your volume.
For smaller volumes, Groupage is the most affordable option. You pay only for the space your goods occupy in the container. If you are moving furniture or a selection of personal effects rather than a full household, Groupage will almost always be the lower-cost route. For larger households where a full container is needed, FCL offers a faster transit and a fixed container cost. The most effective way to reduce your overall removal cost is to move only what you need and let our team guide you on which option suits your volume.
Sea freight transit times from the UK to Egypt are confirmed at your pre-move survey. FCL transit times are approximately 2 weeks shorter than Groupage for the same destination.

People relocating to Egypt who have been residing abroad may be eligible for a reduction in customs duty on used household goods, subject to Egyptian Customs Authority conditions.

Anglo Pacific prepares your Egyptian customs documentation as part of the service.
