Everything you need to ship to Guyana in one place. We collect from your door anywhere in the UK, handle the customs paperwork, and deliver to Georgetown and across the coast and beyond. Air freight in 5–8 working days, or economical sea freight in roughly 4–7 weeks, subject to space and flight availability with the carriers. These sea transit times are approximate — the actual time depends on when your LCL container finishes loading and consolidating, the vessel’s sailing date and route, any transhipment hub before the final destination, and customs clearance, so please allow a week or two either side. Shipping to Guyana since 1998.

Getting it right comes down to the Re-Migrant Scheme paperwork and a clear inventory. This guide brings together everything that actually matters for a UK–Guyana shipment, drawn from our Heathrow-side operation and 25+ years on this route.

Guyana’s Re-Migrant Scheme lets returning Guyanese bring a reasonable quantity of personal and household effects in free of both customs duty and VAT — a valuable concession for anyone resettling home.

Air freight suits a few boxes or anything urgent — 5–8 working days, priced on weight and size.
