SHIPPING TO EUROPE

Moving by itself is a big task. Once the decision is made to move, the first step is to identify a reliable mover who would be able to pack and ship your goods to be delivered safely at the destination country. While there are hundreds of movers at the click of the mouse, experienced and trust worthy moving companies are limited.

RELOCATION TO EUROPE

It is here that your research skills are put to best use to look up the Internet, browse ads, receive reference from friends and employers and so on. Identifying and shortlisting the moving company is the first step to a successful relocation; base this on the company credentials online reviews and infrastructure. Here is where Universal Relocations stands above the rest of their competitors in all of the above mentioned aspects.

RECOMMENDED THINGS TO SHIP

We recommend that shipping of LED Televisions, leather furniture, love seats, beds, mattresses, electronic items (i.e.: music system, home theatre etc.) are worthwhile items to ship considering the huge cost in UAE and at the same time due to the sentimental value attached for having used it for so long. Items like Tv s and electronic stuff can be shipped but a step down transformer needs to be bought in UAE for converting from 110 Volts to 220 volts ,some TV you need buy NTC and PAL Converter.

TRANSFER OF RESIDENCE ELIGIBILITY FOR DUTY EXEMTPIONS AND CONCESSIONS

LIST OF ITEMS WITH REDUCED CUSTOMS DUTY

For the following items a reduced customs duty of 38.5% is charged. It does not matter whether these items are new or old.

WHY MOVE WITH UNIVERSAL RELOCATIONS?

TRANSIT TIMES

Typically, the door to door transit time for FCL shipments would be 45 to 60 days and 60 to 90 days for LCL and Baggage shipments taking in to consideration the consolidations both at the origin and at the destination. Once the shipment is sea bound the client would receive a link to an online tracker where the status of the vessel can be tracked.

TRANSFER OF RESIDENCE

TR eligibility is determined based on the overseas resident status of the client. In order to avail concession on customs duty, the shipper has to have stayed abroad for a continuous period of two years and should not have stayed in UAE for more than 180 days in the said two years and should not have availed TR concession in the last three years.

CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

Universal Relocations has got experienced personnel to handle documentation and customs clearance. If the shipper has got electronic items, then the original passport is required for clearance. Just in case the client has renewed the passport recently, the previous passport is also required for reference by the customs authorities. Under TR there is no duty for used household goods like clothes, books, kitchen utensils, soft toys and one lap top. Televisions, Printers and fridge beyond a capacity of 300 liters would be levied 35 % duty while other electronic items like music system, DVD Player and Home theatre would be at 15 % of the assessed depreciated value. In most cases customs authorities would waive off personal appearances of the shipper if she or he is able to provide the original passport and submit a Power of Attorney, however they can ask the shipper to be present during clearance on case to case basis.

DELIVERY OF SHIPMENT

Soon after the customs inspection, our accounts team would forward details of the customs duty, Port Charges and any other charges associated with the shipment to the shipper. Once the shipper confirms the same and remits the payment, the shipment would be released from the port. If it is an FCL shipment and delivery within the city, the shipment would go directly to the shippers residence. Usually FCL shipments get released from the port only at nights due to traffic restrictions imposed by the State Police. LCL shipments are moved to our warehouse for consolidation and subsequent delivery. Our Customer Service team would update the shippers on the status of the shipment and arrange for delivery thereof. The Shipper is required to verify and check the shipment for receipt of the number of packages as per the packing list and also to rule out any damages incurred in the shipment. Any missing or damaged items should be identified and reported on the delivery document itself at the time of delivery without which insurance claim cannot be processed. Once it is noted on the POD The shipper has to file the insurance claim online within 45 days from the date of delivery.
