Removals to Singapore from the UK

Sea freight times from the UK to Singapore are around 6-9 weeks for a full container load (FCL) or 8-12 weeks for a shared container/groupage service (Sometimes called less than container load – LCL). In addition, you will also need to allow added time for customs clearance.

Usually, it will take our professional packers 2-4 days to pack and load a container.

The cost of removals to Singapore from the UK can vary considerably as it depends on many factors including where in the UK you are moving from, the volume and type of household goods you are sending, current exchange rates and your final destination address. However, as we specialise in removals from the UK to Singapore and have years of experience, we are able to offer the best prices.

As PSS are members of BAR your removal costs are covered by the BAR Advance Payment Guarantee Scheme. As a member of FIDI Global Alliance and having achieved FIDI FAIM top performer status, you can be assured that PSS and our partners in Singapore have the highest standards of professionalism in international moves.

However, due to the nature of international removals, it is highly recommended that you take out a Marine Insurance policy or shipment Protection Cover. At PSS we offer and recommend shipment Protection Cover which is very flexible and has a lot of advantages.

PSS International shipment Protection Cover

We provide a very flexible shipment protection cover through Basil Fry & Company – the UK’s leading insurance broker for international removals and shipping:

• Our policy is quick and easy to set up, simply complete our Shipment Protection valuation form with the items you would like to cover and their values.
• Removal (we pack) consignments cover costs 3.5% of the total insurable value you declare.
• Vehicle shipments cover costs 2% of the vehicles declared value.
• Self-Pack (you pack) consignments cover cost 5% of the total insurable value you declare.
• Baggage/Airfreight consignments, which are owner packed, will cost 5% of the total insurable value you declare.

Your dedicated Move Manager will advise you on the required documents and help you with their completion. Example documents required are:

• Fully completed customs form for Singapore (goods to follow list)
• Removal inventory (PSS will prepare this if PSS are packing)
• Valuation form for shipment Protection cover
• Copy of your Passport and Visa
• Purchase receipts (only applicable if you are importing any newly purchased goods)
• Letter undertaking (not always needed)
• Bank statements, income tax or rent receipts as proof that you have resided outside Singapore for a minimum of 12 months (only applicable for returning citizens)

Like most countries, Singapore has a list of products and goods that are either prohibited or have restrictions on importation, so it is important to know what will get through their customs clearance.

We highly recommend you check the FIDI Customs Guide for information on what can and cannot be imported into the country.

Failure to do so can result in your shipment being delayed in customs, refused entry or you may have to pay fines or fees for disposal of items.

When your belongings in arrive in Singapore they will need to pass through customs. This can be a complicated and difficult process if you are not familiar with international removals.

Fortunately, as part of our service, we will handle the customs clearance process on your behalf.

For household removal of personal effects, you may not have to pay customs duty and taxes on all items.

There may be some additional charges such as inspection fees and quarantine charges you need to pay to the local customs authorities. These vary and so are not included in your quote.

There will be some forms you need to complete and other documentation you need to provide as evidence.

Your Move Manager will be able to talk you through this and you can also find out more details in our FIDI Customs Guide.
