Productions run on tight schedules — and they move unusual things. From camera and lighting kit, props and wardrobe to specialist and dangerous-goods shipments, we’ve handled freight for film and television productions from the UK for years, with the classification, packing and paperwork done properly. We collect from studios, workshops and locations UK-wide and get your shipment to set by air or sea.
Film and television productions move on tight schedules and carry unusual things — camera and lighting kit, props and set dressing, wardrobe, and the personal effects of cast and crew. We collect from studios, workshops and locations across the UK, receive everything into our own warehouse near Heathrow, prepare the export documentation, and ship it to set by air or sea — anywhere in the world. You deal directly with the team handling your shipment, from collection through to export.
Some production items fall under dangerous-goods regulations — fuels, batteries, aerosols and similar. These can only move when they are correctly classified, packed and documented, and when the airline or shipping line will accept them. We handle that process under IATA and IMDG rules. Not everything can be shipped, and we’ll always tell you honestly what can and can’t move, and how it has to be packed — before anything is booked.
Productions often take equipment abroad and bring it back. Where an ATA Carnet is needed for temporary export, we can help arrange the paperwork so your kit clears customs smoothly in both directions — without paying duty on equipment that’s only travelling for the shoot.
Tell us what you’re moving, where it’s going and when the shoot is — and we’ll tell you how we’d handle it, what it needs, and whether anything is restricted, before you commit.
