Our own HMRC bonded warehouse and the expert
customs team behind it

If you’ve ever sent a parcel abroad or bought something from overseas, you’ll know that gaining customs clearance can be a difficult to navigate minefield, and costs can quickly add up.

That’s why our professional in-house team of customs handlers are ready to help you with everything you need, for a stress-free relocation experience. Our experts have in-depth knowledge of the specific customs laws of each country, meaning we take care of all the complicated processes and ensuring your shipment arrives swiftly, safely and without any unwanted surprises.

In 2023 our headquarters in Dartford became a fully customs-bonded facility. This means that we can safely store your belongings in our own warehouse and keep track of them throughout the entire shipping process, minimising both time and cost.

We’re proud to be accredited and industry-regulated

When choosing an international moving company, make sure you do your due diligence! Your chosen company should be accredited and able to demonstrate years of experience in moving people internationally. They should not be a broker and it is very important to check any potential movers are financially stable. The last thing you want is to be mid move and the company to liquidate, leaving you to have to pay for your move twice!

As a trusted international removal company, we take our responsibility for your valued possessions very seriously. That’s why we have invested in cutting-edge tracking and QR Code technology. This means we can track every item, every step of the way.

Moving internationally is exciting, but costs can mount up. To mitigate unexpected fees and taxes, make sure you work with an internationally recognised removal company, such as Matthew James Global Relocations. Most professional international relocation companies will charge similar rates, so be cautious of any quotes that seem too good to be true.

We understand that it can be difficult to know which service you require. This is why we offer a range of services to cover all your potential needs. If you intend to pack all of your goods yourself and just need a mover, then you need the Bronze service. Do you want us just to pack your fragiles but manage everything else yourself? Then we have our Silver service. Would you like a full packing and moving product? This is what our Gold service entails. Finally, when moving internationally or if you require extra care, we have our Platinum service, not only a full pack of your goods, but a full furnisoft bubble blanket wrap of all furniture. For more information please see our “Packing Services” pages.

More often than not, you can move your furniture abroad without issue. However, be sure to check with a trusted expert, like Matthew James. This is because there are certain countries, including Australia, that have a complicated criteria when it comes to moving specific goods, such as wooden furniture.
