Removals to Cyprus | Simpsons International Removals

The Move

Cyprus rewards good planning, and we have shipped there for decades.

British movers have loved Cyprus for generations, and the route is one we know inside out. Regular sailings link the UK with Limassol, and our destination partners deliver across the island.

Groupage sailings make smaller moves affordable, while a sole-use container gives a full household the quickest crossing.

Your options

Choose the right way to ship

Every move to Cyprus is different, so we shape the service around yours.

Sea · Sole-use

Your own 20ft or 40ft container

Your belongings travel alone, packed and sealed at your door and not opened again until they reach you. The fastest and most secure sea option.

Best for: full household moves

Sea · Shared

Groupage / part-load container

Your goods share container space with other shipments bound for Cyprus, splitting the cost between several moves. Slightly longer transit, but excellent value.

Best for: smaller moves, flexible budgets

Air Freight

Fast-track for essentials

Air freight suits the things you need soon after you land, such as documents, clothing and everyday items. It arrives in a fraction of the time.

Best for: essentials & smaller shipments

Excess Baggage

A few boxes or suitcases

Not moving a whole household? Our excess baggage service is a simple, affordable way to send personal items and smaller consignments overseas.

Best for: light movers & students

Good to know

Cyprus is in the EU, and your paperwork still matters

Household goods entering Cyprus clear customs at Limassol. Movers transferring their main residence can usually import used belongings free of duty, provided the documents are right, and that part is our job.

Proof of residence transfer

Evidence you are settling in Cyprus, such as a rental contract or property deed, supports duty relief.

VAT relief on used goods

Used household effects owned for six months or more usually enter free of VAT and duty.

Vehicle imports

Cars can move with you, though registration and emissions rules apply. We will talk you through it.

Inventory & documentation

A clear, itemised inventory keeps inspection quick. We prepare it with you before sailing.

★★★★★

Our container reached Limassol inside three weeks and the local crew delivered up to the village without a hitch. Simpsons kept every promise they made.
