How Removals to USA from the UK Work

​

Moving from the UK to the USA follows a structured international removals process designed to ensure your belongings are transported safely, compliantly, and efficiently.

At Reloux, we manage the entire process from start to finish.

 

The typical process includes:

• A free home or video survey to confirm the volume of your goods

• Selection of the most suitable shipping method (groupage or container)

• Professional export packing and collection from your UK address

• Secure loading and shipment via sea or air freight

• US customs clearance and documentation handling

• Final delivery, unloading, and unpacking at your new home

Each move is tailored based on your volume, timeline, and destination in the United States, ensuring a smooth and controlled relocation experience.

Shipping Options to USA from the UK

Choosing the right shipping method is essential when planning removals to the USA from the UK. The best option depends on your shipment size, budget, and required delivery timeframe.

 

Groupage Shipping (Shared Container)

Groupage, also known as part-load shipping, is ideal for smaller moves.

• Cost-effective solution

• Pay only for the space you use

• Regular departures to major US destinations

This is commonly used for shipments under approximately 600 cubic feet.

 

Full Container Shipping (20ft / 40ft)

For larger household moves, a dedicated container offers the most efficient solution.

• Faster transit times

• Exclusive use of container

• Reduced handling and risk

A 20ft container typically holds around 1,000 cubic feet, while a 40ft container can accommodate larger full household relocations.

 

Air Freight to the USA

Air freight is suitable for urgent or smaller shipments (Excess Baggage Shipping).

• Fast transit times (typically 5–10 days)

• Ideal for essential or high-priority items

However, this is a premium service and significantly more expensive than sea freight.

​

​

Cost of Removals to USA from the UK

The cost of moving to the USA from the UK varies depending on several key factors. Rather than fixed pricing, international removals are calculated based on the specific details of your move.

 

Factors that affect cost include:

• Total shipment volume (measured in cubic feet or cubic metres)

• Destination city in the USA (East Coast vs West Coast)

• Shipping method (groupage, full container, or air freight)

• Level of service required (packing, storage, delivery access)

• Customs requirements and inspections

 

Smaller shipments using groupage are generally more cost-effective, while larger moves may benefit from a full container for speed and efficiency.

At Reloux, all quotations are tailored to your exact requirements, ensuring transparency and accuracy.

​

​

 

USA Customs Clearance for Household Goods

All shipments to the United States must go through customs clearance before delivery. Understanding the requirements in advance helps avoid delays and unexpected charges.

 

Key requirements include:

• Valid passport copy

• Completed customs forms and Power of Attorney (POA)

• Detailed packing inventory prepared by professional movers

• Proof of residency or visa status

 

Important notes:

• US customs requires original signed documentation (electronic signatures are not accepted)

• Food, plants, and certain restricted items are not permitted

• Shipments may be subject to random inspections

 

Reloux works closely with trusted US agents to ensure all documentation is prepared correctly and submitted in advance for a smooth clearance process.

​

​

Transit Times from the UK to the USA

Transit times for removals to the USA depend on your destination and the shipping method selected.

 

Typical sea freight transit times:

• UK to New York / East Coast: 3–5 weeks

• UK to Miami / South East: 4–6 weeks

• UK to Los Angeles / West Coast: 6–8 weeks

Air freight transit times:

• Typically 5–10 days depending on routing and airline schedules

Please note that customs clearance, port congestion, and delivery access can affect the final timeline.
