If you’re moving to Turkey, we can ship your luggage, suitcases, boxes and personal effects door-to-door (subject to your destination) from the UK. We handle your UK customs export entry that a relocation involves and deliver your belongings to Turkey — whether it’s a single suitcase, boxes of household items, or a full move.
Moving to Turkey from the UK means deciding what travels with you and what ships ahead. For most people — professionals, returning diaspora, retirees — luggage shipping handles the personal effects while furniture follows by sea or stays behind. Here is the process.
Standard restrictions. Turkish Customs is thorough. Accurate declared values — underdeclaration penalised. Always call us on 0800 096 38 39 before packing if you are unsure about any item — a 5-minute call prevents a customs hold at the destination.
