International Removals from London
Moving abroad is not the same as moving across town. An international move adds a customs border, a Channel crossing and a delivery into a city with its own rules, so it needs a company that handles all of it as a single job. YouStock runs fixed-price international removals from London to France, Monaco and Belgium: an exact quote online, the post-Brexit paperwork prepared for you, and door-to-door care from your London flat to your new home abroad.

What Makes an International Move Different
A move within the UK is mostly logistics. International moving adds three layers on top: customs clearance at the border, a long cross-border transit, and access into a foreign city where parking, permits and buildings all work differently. Each is a point where an international removal can stall, and each is what we plan for from the very first quote. If you are moving within the UK rather than abroad, our standard removals service covers that instead.

Build your inventory online for a firm, fixed price, with an optional home or video survey for larger moves. Approve it and we set your dates.
Packing and customs in London

Post-Brexit Customs, Handled for You
Since the UK left the EU, moving household goods to France, Monaco or Belgium is a customs import into the EU, which means a formal declaration at the border. A genuine relocation usually qualifies for relief.
For a true change of residence, your used household goods are normally exempt from import duty and VAT under transfer-of-residence rules. The relief applies EU-wide, but the paperwork differs by destination: French customs for Paris, Nice, Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille; via the France customs union for Monaco; and Belgian customs for Brussels. New items, goods for resale, and alcohol and tobacco are treated separately and can be dutiable. We prepare the declaration, the inventory and the supporting documents, and clear your belongings so nothing is held at the border.
Dedicated or Shared Load
Every international removal runs one of two ways. A dedicated full-load move puts a vehicle entirely at your disposal, straight from London to your destination on a date you set: the natural choice for a full household or a tight schedule. Groupage shares the vehicle with other clients heading the same way, so the cost of the journey is split: ideal for a studio, a part-move or a flexible timeline. Distance shapes the maths, and we will tell you which works out best for your route.
| YouStock | Traditional international movers | Man-and-van / freight forwarders | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quote | Fixed price online in minutes | Estimate after an in-home survey | Per-hour or per-load, often vague |
| Price certainty | Locked from the inventory | Can shift with surcharges | Extras add up on the day |
| Post-Brexit customs | Handled in-house | Often outsourced to an agent | Usually your responsibility |
| Door-to-door | One team, start to finish | Multiple handovers | Transport only |
| Storage if you're not ready | Secure, on demand | Sometimes, at extra cost | Rarely |
The result, for a London-to-Europe international relocation: one fixed price, one point of contact, and no customs paperwork landing on your desk at the border.

International Removals from London FAQ
What counts as an international removal?
Any move that crosses a customs border, so any move from the UK to France, Monaco, Belgium or beyond. It involves customs clearance and a Channel crossing on top of the usual packing and transport.
How much do international removals cost?
Pricing is volume-based, so you only pay for the space your items take, plus your service level and any add-ons. Distance plays a part too. For a fixed figure, use our online calculator.
Will I pay customs duty moving from the UK to the EU?
Usually not for a genuine change of residence, as used household goods normally qualify for transfer-of-residence relief. See the customs section above for the full picture.
Are my belongings insured for an international move?
Yes. Cover runs for the whole journey, with higher-value protection available for art, antiques and fragile pieces.
How far in advance should I book?
The earlier the better, especially in peak summer and for dedicated loads on set dates, but we will always tell you the soonest we can collect.
