Choosing the right shipping company makes all the difference. We combine experience, reliability, and personalised support to provide:
A 20ft container is suitable for smaller household moves, furniture, personal effects and many individual commercial shipments. It provides secure enclosed transport for customers who need a dedicated container.
A 40ft container provides additional capacity for larger household moves, furniture, business stock and commercial cargo. It is suitable when a 20ft container does not provide enough space.
Not sure which size you need? See our container measurements guide for full capacity details before you book.
For those who don’t need a full container, we offer shared container shipping to Cyprus, which allows you to pay only for the space you use while benefiting from professional international container shipping standards.
We ship containers to Cyprus from several major UK ports, including Felixstowe, Southampton, and Tilbury. These ports offer regular sailing schedules with connections to Limassol, Cyprus’s main container port. Choosing the right departure port can help reduce transit time and inland collection costs, and our team will advise on the best route for your location.
Shipping to Cyprus requires a passport copy, packing list, bill of lading, and invoice of contents. Additional documentation may be needed for commercial goods or high-value items. We guide you step by step to ensure all paperwork is correct for smooth Cyprus customs clearance.
As an EU member state, Cyprus applies standard EU customs rules for goods arriving from the UK following Brexit, meaning certain declarations and paperwork are now required that weren’t previously necessary for UK shipments. Proper documentation and compliance are essential to avoid delays or additional charges at Cypriot ports. Check current requirements with the Cyprus Customs and Excise Department, as regulations can change.
