We offer a door to door service
Your Journey Down Under Starts Here
Relocating 10,000 miles is more than just a house move, it is a life-changing transition. Whether you are moving for a new career in Sydney, retiring to the Gold Coast, or returning home to Perth, navigating the logistics of international removals from the UK to Australia requires more than just a van. It requires a partner who understands 2026 customs regulations, biosecurity laws, and the nuances of global shipping.
At Pask’s Removals, we specialize in making the complex feel simple. We combine our local London expertise with a robust international network to ensure your belongings arrive safely on Australian shores, exactly when you need them.

International Shipping Options for 2026
Every move is different, and your shipping method should reflect your budget and timeline. In 2026, we offer three primary ways to get your goods to Australia:
Shared Container (Groupage)
The most cost-effective choice for smaller moves or students. Your belongings share space in a container with other Pask’s clients. You only pay for the volume you use.
-
Best for: 1-bedroom flats or partial house moves.
-
Lead time: 12–16 weeks.
Full Container Load (FCL)
You have exclusive use of a 20ft or 40ft container. This is faster because the container is sealed at your doorstep and sent directly to the port without waiting for other shipments.
-
Best for: 3+ bedroom family homes or moves including a vehicle.
-
Lead time: 8–10 weeks.
Air Freight
If you need your “essentials” (laptops, work equipment, or baby supplies) immediately, we can send a small shipment by air while your main furniture travels by sea.
-
Best for: High-priority items.
-
Lead time: 7–14 days.
2026 Cost Estimates: UK to Australia
Shipping costs are primarily based on volume (cubic feet). While 2026 fuel prices and port fees fluctuate, these benchmarks help with your initial planning:
-
Small Move (Shared Container): Starting from £495
-
1-Bedroom Flat: Starting from £1,500
-
3-Bedroom Family Home: Starting from £4,800
-
4+ Bedroom Residence: Starting from £7,500+
Note: Prices exclude specific Australian customs inspections or “Quarantine Examination” fees, which are determined upon arrival.
Navigating Australian Customs & Biosecurity
Australia has some of the world’s strictest biosecurity laws to protect its unique ecosystem. In 2026, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) remains vigilant.
The B534 Form To import your household goods duty-free, you must complete the Unaccompanied Personal Effects (B534) statement. You are generally eligible if you have owned your items for 12+ months and have a valid permanent or long-stay visa.
The Cleanliness Rule Anything that has touched the “outside world” must be spotlessly clean. This includes:
-
Garden Tools & Mowers: Must be free of all soil and grass.
-
Bicycles & Sporting Gear: Tyres must be scrubbed; no mud in the chains.
-
Outdoor Furniture: Must be free of cobwebs and seeds.
-
Vacuum Cleaners: Bags must be disposed of and filters cleaned before packing.
The Pask’s International Process
1. Virtual Survey We start with a detailed WhatsApp video survey to calculate your total volume. This allows us to give you a Fixed-Price Quote that includes all UK terminal charges and sea freight.
2. Professional Export Packing International transit is demanding. Our team uses “Export Wrap”—specialized heavy-duty bubble wrap and double-walled boxes—to ensure your furniture survives the journey across the equator.
3. Documentation Support Your dedicated Move Manager will help you compile your inventory list, copy your passport/visa, and ensure your B534 form is filled out correctly to avoid expensive delays at the port.
4. Arrival and Delivery Once your shipment clears customs and quarantine in Australia, our local partner will contact you to arrange delivery. They will offload your items, place furniture in the correct rooms, and even take away the packing debris.
