We're proud members of the FIDI Global Alliance and accredited by FAIM quality standard, the only quality standard for overseas removals. In addition, we are financially bonded by the British Association of Removers (BAR) & IMMI Payment guarantee scheme.

Last year alone we managed thousands of international removals incorporating household effects, personal belongings, excess and unaccompanied baggage, all of which we offer at unbeatable rates. For this reason, we are known as the UK's 1st choice for moving overseas.

Removals or Excess Baggage Shipping?

The size of your move determines the service you require, so whether you're sending a full or part household, we recommend a FREE HOME SURVEY. If you would like to move the majority of your home and effects then this would be classed as a full removal which would entail us, more times than not, loading your effects inside your own sole use sea freight container. If you are only intending on shipping half a household or a small quantity of selected items of furniture, we will only base our charges on the volume that you decide to ship. We would transport your goods back to one of our depots for consolidation, loading and shipment to Qatar.

If you are looking to send slightly smaller consignments of between 1 and 20 cartons/suitcases or bags then you may require Excess Baggage Shipping or Airfreight service. click here for an excess baggage quote.

Door to door shipping to Qatar
At PSS we offer a problem free door to door shipping service to Qatar, so rest assured that you are in good hands.

Here is a brief breakdown of our door to door shipping service:

We offer a quick and efficient sea freight service to Qatar where we can offer you the choice of either having your goods loaded at your door inside your own designated shipping container or alternatively you can share the space inside a container which would be loaded back at one of our depots. We will always ensure that we provide you with the estimated time of arrival (ETA) of your container well in advance of you leaving the UK.
We have a specialist team who will handle the customs clearance process to ensure that your goods are declared correctly. For example it is essential that your goods are declared as owned and used to qualify for duty free entry. New goods attract 5% duty but must be endorsed by the Qatar embassy prior to shipping.
When your sea freight container arrives in Qatar your goods will start the clearance process and all personal and household effects will be required to be off loaded into our customs approved warehouse before clearance can take place. No-one can access the goods until customs officials have completed their clearance. All goods arriving into Qatar will be subject to a 100% physical inspection. Items such as Computers will need a separate clearance procedure through Qatar customs, to speed up the process it would be advisable to send the specifications through in advance of your arrival to help obtain approval. CD's and DVD's are subject to censorship and will be inspected upon arrival, thee items are normally returned within 14 days.
As soon as we have received approval to release your goods we will contact you to arrange a delivery date. Alternatively, if you would require storage this can be arranged at the same point.

Transit times
When shipping your personal belongings to Qatar the transit time between removal in the UK and arrival at your new home will be approximately 5-7 weeks for full container shipments and 7-10 weeks for part load shipments.
