Removals to Dubai & the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
If you are planning on moving to the United Arab Emirates, whether to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or another location, Britannia Bradshaw has the expertise to tailor the move to your individual needs.
Why should you move to the Dubai or the UAE with Britannia Bradshaw?
We have an established, long standing and successful relationship with a network of dedicated removers in the UAE. Before your goods are forwarded, their full contact details will be sent to you. Our agents are part of our extended Britannia family and we meet with them on a regular basis to ensure high standards of service are maintained. We'll help you with the paperwork for customs, and inform you of any restrictions and requirements for importation into the UAE.
If you want to store some of your personal items in the UK, we can also handle that for you in our modern, purpose built warehouse.
Moving personal effects to the UAE and Dubai
Your household goods and personal effects are allowed duty free entry, provided that they have been owned and used prior to importation. Before your shipment is sent, all necessary documentation must be submitted and you must be in the country in order to successfully complete all customs clearance procedures.
All books, CDs, videos, DVDs and magazines are subject to physical inspection and need to be packed in separate cartons and marked clearly. They will be subject to review and censorship by the UAE Ministry of Information. Your items will be released if nothing abnormal is found. This procedure will take from 10 to 15 days.
Prohibitions and Restrictions
In general it is in your interest not to import the following items:
- Firearms & ammunition (real or ornamental)
- Swords, daggers, spears, etc.
- Military uniforms and equipment
- Inflammable goods & substances
- Plants & plant material
- Poppy seeds and flowers, leaves, etc.
- Foodstuffs, perishable or otherwise
- Narcotics and dangerous goods
- Offensive materials
- Tobacco and alcohol
- Statues and figures with a religious undertone
- Carvings and statues of humans - especially nude or pornographic
- Religious books other than Islamic
- Controversial political literature and materials contrary to an Islamic state's principles
UAE removals transit times
Groupage or shared load consignments usually take eight to 12 weeks, door to door. Keep in mind this can vary depending on volumes being shipped, customs or immigration delays and weather conditions. Sole use containers usually take five to six weeks door to door. More information on shipping your belongings overseas by ship.
Bar Coding
All Groupage consignments will be bar coded before they are loaded into the shipping container. This will ensure that no items are left at origin.

How are our appointments carried out
In the current times you might prefer that we don't visit your house in person to carry out a survey. This is fully understandable and we can just as easily undertake the survey by video call, using whatever method you're comfortable with, usually FaceTime or WhatsApp.

Dealt with Martin via zoom for the survey, nice and easy and then dealt with Vanessa on the booking, who was helpful and understanding as our completion date kept moving, she was brilliant.

As per my phone call I just wanted to follow it up to say that your guys who did our move on Thursday and Friday are an absolute credit to your business - Rhys, Jamie & Ben.
They were super helpful, well mannered, professional from the very start to the finish and are great ambassadors for your business.
Having to deal with engineers in my own job I know that the good feedback can sometimes be missed for the bad side of things so wanted to make sure you were both aware.
They all made our house move so much easier after months of turmoil getting to that completion point, the only criticism is that I now need to restock on teabags and coffee they drank that much!
Thanks again
Michael

I would also want to thank you and your team for arranging the move for us. Moving house is really stressful and you make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.
We are very happy with the service and I would appreciate, if you could pass our thanks to Tom, Nick and Tony for all their help.
Kind regards,
Magda
