International Removals
to Kuwait
What are you moving?
International Removals to Kuwait
Kuwait is a well-established destination for British expatriates, with a large international community in Kuwait City, Hawalli, Salmiya, and other areas. Whether you are relocating for a professional role, moving with your family, or setting up for a longer-term stay, Anglo Pacific manages your full removal from the UK, including packing, sea freight to Shuwaikh Port, Kuwait Customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery.
We have been managing international removals for over 40 years and are members of the British Association of Removers (BAR) and FIDI FAIM accredited. Our team has experience with the documentation and customs requirements specific to Kuwait, giving you a reliable and compliant service on this route.
Shipping Options for Your Move to Kuwait
We offer Groupage, FCL, and air freight for UK to Kuwait removals. The right option depends on the volume of your goods and your timeline.
Groupage
Groupage consolidates your belongings with other customers moving to the same Kuwaiti port. You pay only for the space your consignment occupies, making it the most cost-effective option for smaller moves and furniture shipments.
FCL (Full Container Load)
An FCL gives you sole use of a 20ft or 40ft container. It departs without waiting for consolidation, with transit times approximately 2 weeks shorter than Groupage. FCL suits larger households and customers who require a confirmed departure date.
Air Freight
Air freight to Kuwait takes up to 10 days and is available for priority items or smaller consignments. Due to the higher cost per kilogram, air freight is best reserved for essential items needed before the main shipment arrives.
Kuwait Customs Clearance for UK Removals
All household goods and personal effects entering Kuwait must be cleared by Kuwait Customs. Expatriates relocating to Kuwait with a valid work permit or residency visa may be eligible to import used household goods duty-free or at a reduced rate, subject to Kuwait Customs conditions. Your employment or residency documentation must be in order before your shipment arrives at Shuwaikh Port.
Anglo Pacific prepares your Kuwait Customs documentation as part of the removal service and advises on what to declare before packing begins.
Items That Cannot Be Shipped to Kuwait
Kuwait enforces strict import regulations. The following must not be included in your shipment:
- Alcohol and alcoholic beverages of any kind
- Pork products and food containing pork
- Narcotics and controlled substances
- Firearms, weapons, and ammunition
- Pornographic material
- Gambling devices
- Counterfeit goods
- Certain publications considered contrary to Kuwaiti law or public order
Our team reviews your inventory at the pre-move survey and advises on any items that cannot be shipped. Prohibited items must be excluded without exception.
