Trunk Logistics provides dedicated international removal services from anywhere in the UK, covering European destinations by road and worldwide destinations by sea and air freight. Operating from Essex with a fleet of 25 vehicles, we manage every stage of the removal from UK collection through to delivery at your destination address, whether that is a city apartment in Paris, a coastal property in the Algarve, a family home in Dublin, or a new address on the other side of the world.
UK to Europe Removals
European removals from the UK are available by part load groupage or dedicated vehicle, collected using our own fleet and delivered direct to your European address without subcontracted transport at any stage. We cover France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Ireland as established routes, with transit times, vehicle type, and customs requirements confirmed at survey stage before anything is booked.
UK to France removals use the Channel Tunnel crossing, with Paris and northern France among the shorter transits and Provence and the Côte d'Azur at the longer end of the network. UK to Spain removals cover mainland destinations including Madrid, Barcelona, the Costa Blanca, and the Costa del Sol, as well as island deliveries to the Balearics and Canary Islands, the latter involving additional customs requirements as the islands sit outside the EU customs zone. UK to Portugal removals cover the full country from Lisbon and Porto through to the Algarve, Alentejo, and Silver Coast, with the Portugal route covering more road distance than any other European destination we serve. UK to Netherlands removals use short sea crossings via Hook of Holland or Europoort, making the Netherlands one of the fastest European road routes on our network. UK to Denmark removals enter via the German border for Jutland addresses and via the Øresund Bridge for Zealand and Copenhagen. UK to Ireland removals cross by sea freight with full post-Brexit export documentation and Irish customs clearance managed in house.
Post-Brexit customs documentation is prepared and managed by Trunk Logistics on all European routes, covering UK export paperwork and EU import declaration through the relevant customs authority at your destination country. Personal effects qualify for duty-free entry under Transfer of Normal Residence relief where the move is tied to a confirmed change of primary residence, and your move coordinator prepares all documentation before your consignment departs the UK.
International Removals Worldwide
For moves beyond Europe, Trunk Logistics manages international removals by sea freight and air freight to the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the UAE, and destinations across Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. Shared container and full container load options are available for sea freight moves, with shared container providing a cost-proportionate option for smaller volumes and full container load offering direct, fixed-schedule shipping for complete household moves.
All international removals include export packing at your UK address using export-grade cartons, furniture wrapping, and specialist protection for fragile and high-value items. Customs documentation for destination country import is prepared alongside your move and all shipments are covered by comprehensive goods in transit insurance, with levels available to match the full replacement value of your consignment.
Pre-Shipment Storage
If your destination address is not confirmed at the point of vacating your UK property, your consignment is held at our secure Essex storage facility until you are ready to proceed. Storage is priced into your removal quote at survey stage with no separate booking process required. In-country storage after delivery is available through our certified international partners at your destination.
Why Trunk Logistics
Every removal we carry out uses our own vehicles and crews for the UK collection stage, with no subcontracted transport between your front door and the point of export. We are IAM members operating to international removal standards, and every quote we provide is fixed at survey stage and does not change between booking and move day. Your dedicated move coordinator manages the process from first contact through to delivery confirmation, handling export documentation, customs submissions, and storage coordination so you have a single point of contact throughout.
Whether you are moving from the UK to France, relocating from Ireland to the UK, shipping a full household to Australia, or sending a part load to Portugal, Trunk Logistics provides the same standard of service, the same fixed quote process, and the same direct contact with your move coordinator from start to finish.
