Household Removals to Thailand from the UK FAQs
Find answers to our most commonly asked questions about moving to Thailand using our Thai removals service.
Before You Move To Thailand
How Long Do Removals to Thailand from the UK Take?
Sea freight shipping times from the UK to Thailand 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 shipping container.

How Much Do International Removals to Thailand Cost?
When is payment due and will I have to pay a deposit?
Our payment terms are 7 days before removal day and we require a £350 deposit when booking your removal.
Are there additional charges?
All of our estimates are quoted as a door-to-door service. This service includes standard custom clearance as well as other related charges.
Our quotes will not include additional costs such as customs duties, quarantine fees and some other charges which vary per removal and are payable on arrival in Thailand.
All related charges information will be clearly listed in your removals quote and explained to you by your Account Manager.
Do I Need Shipment Protection Cover or Marine Removals Insurance to Thailand?
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 Thailand have the highest standards of professionalism in international moves.
However, due to the nature of international removals and shipping, 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
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.
Actual costs are calculated as a percentage of the value you wish to cover. These vary depending on whether it’s self-packed or packed by professional overseas movers. Typically this varies from 3% to 5% of the value of the items you want to cover. For more information speak to one of our advisers.
What Documentation is Required for Moving to Thailand?
Your dedicated Move Manager will advise you on the required shipping documents and help you with their completion. Example documents required are:
- Fully completed customs form for Thailand (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 Thailand for a minimum of 12 months (only applicable for returning citizens)
Moving To Thailand
What Can't You Take to Thailand? Restricted and Prohibited Items
Like most countries, Thailand has a list of products and goods that are either prohibited or have restrictions on importation.
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.
Customs Clearance in Thailand
When your belongings in arrive in Thailand they will need to pass through customs. Requirements will vary depending on whether you are a British citizen, a non-EU citizen, an EU citizen or a national returning home.
Fortunately, as part of our service, we will handle the customs clearance process on your behalf.
For household removals and shipping of personal effects, depending on your status, you may not have to pay customs duty and taxes on all items.
There may be some additional charges such as inspection fees charges you need to pay to the local customs authorities. These vary and so are not included in your shipping 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 the latest situation and you can also find out more details in our FIDI Customs Guide.
Where in Thailand Do You Do Removals to?
We carry out our international removal service from anywhere in the UK (including London, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) to all destinations in Thailand. We undertake household moves to all regions, covering everything from bustling cities to more rural provinces.

Delivery of Your Items in Thailand
PSS International provide a full door-to-door international removal service which includes delivery of items to your new home in Thailand. (Beware of cheap removal quotes that maybe to port only.)
We will contact you before your container arrives in Thailand to ensure that we have all your relevant paperwork to enable us to start the customs clearance process as well as making sure that we have your correct requirements in place for delivery.
Once the customs clearance of your goods has taken place we can then arrange your delivery and the unpacking of your goods. Our crew will arrive at your new property and place your items in the rooms of your choice and unwrap and remove the packing material.

What if I Need Storage or Don't Yet Have a Delivery Address in Thailand?
This is not a problem as all we will require is a contact address and contact details. The delivery address can be advised at a later date or when you arrive.
If required, we can also arrange storage of your household goods and personal effects in Thailand whilst you arrange your new home. Once you’re ready our local movers will be able to deliver your belongings.
