Frequently Asked Questions

Moving from India to the UK involves complex customs and import processes, specifically the Transfer of Residence (ToR) application to claim duty and tax relief from HMRC. Our professional international movers ensure all documentation is correctly prepared and submitted, preventing delays, unexpected costs, and ensuring the safe arrival of your goods in the UK. Agarwal Packers has proven expertise in managing the entire India-UK relocation pipeline.
The Transfer of Residence (ToR) is the HMRC (HM Revenue and Customs) process that allows eligible individuals moving their normal home to the UK from outside the EU to bring their personal effects and household goods into the country free of duty and VAT. You must apply for ToR relief before shipping your goods. Our team provides full assistance with the application process and required documentation.
The transit time for a move from India to the UK is approximately 6-8 weeks door-to-door for standard sea freight (container shipping), which is the most common method. This includes the time required for packing, loading, ocean transit, and customs clearance at the UK port. Air freight is much faster, often taking 1-3 weeks, but is used for smaller, urgent shipments due to the higher cost.
Yes, you can ship your car from India to the UK. However, the vehicle must meet strict UK compliance standards (such as IVA/MOT) and be registered with the DVLA. If you are applying for ToR relief, the vehicle must have been owned and used outside the UK for at least 12 months. We offer specialized vehicle shipping services and guide you on all necessary documentation.
We treat every item with care, especially high-value or fragile goods. For the India-to-UK route, we use specialized crating, multi-layer packing techniques, and our innovative packing materials like the 'Perfect Box' and 'LCD Box'. Additionally, we offer comprehensive marine transit insurance which is highly recommended to protect against unforeseen risks during the long ocean journey.
We provide online tracking systems that allow you to monitor the progress of your shipment. You will be provided with a tracking number or a link to access the tracking portal. Alternatively, you can contact our moving company directly for updates on the status of your shipment from the Indian port of exit to the UK port of entry and final delivery.
