How do removals to Croatia from the UK work?
Removals to Croatia from the UK run door to door by road and typically take 6 to 12 days from collection to delivery, with a dedicated vehicle at the shorter end and a shared load at the longer end. We move anything from a single box to a full container, with customs handled at both ends.

At Removals, we are international removal specialists, able to move anything from a single box to a full container. Our dedicated team will get your belongings to you safely and on time, so your move to Croatia is as stress-free as possible.
How do Removals Make International Shipping to Croatia Smooth?

Should I ship to Croatia by road, sea or air?
Road freight is the most frequently used route to Croatia and the best balance of speed and cost, as either a dedicated vehicle or a shared load. Sea freight suits a heavy household where the date is flexible. Air freight is the fastest and is priced on weight, so it suits urgent items rather than furniture.
Being a leading international mover in the UK, we take care of flexible shipping methods. We provide a variety of shipping methods to suit your budget and timeframe for your move from the UK to Croatia.
Road Freight
This is the most frequently used and economical method for removals to Croatia and we offer two options: dedicated vehicles for a private, and faster service (also referred to as Full Load); and shared Load options, where your belongings are shared with other shipments as this option provides great value for money door-to-door service.
Sea Freight
If you are moving larger household items or you have some flexibility with the timeline then the sea freight option can be relatively inexpensive and very flexible. We can organise a sole-use container for your belongings and this will be shipped to the nearest port in Croatia where we will then manage the logistics for onward delivery to your home.
Air Freight
Air freight has the fastest lead time out of all the shipping options from the UK to Croatia. If you have urgent or smaller cargo, like essentials, personal items, or documents you need to receive quickly upon arrival, air freight is your best option.
What are the steps of a removal to Croatia?
Five stages: an introductory consultation and quotation based on the details of your move, a survey to check volume and access, packing and a labelled inventory at your UK address, the freight leg with the customs application prepared for you, then delivery to your Croatian address.
Removals always focus on keep things transparent while providing shipping services to outside UK. Here is the step-by-step process we follow:
1. Introductory Consultation and Quotation
Just contact us with details of the move, and we will be based on a free, no obligation quote. In this during this consultation we will make an accurate assessment of the volume of your goods and we will plan accordingly together.
2. Decide on Your Service
Based on the number of items you are shipping and your budget, we will help you decide on which service will best suit your circumstances. You have the option of personal service with your dedicated vehicle for a private move, or you may choose a shared (part-load) for a smaller consignment, a much more economical option.
3. Packing and Collection
Our skilled crew can pack your items professionally using quality materials to protect them from damage or you can pack them yourself if you choose. We will arrange to collect the packed items from your home on the agreed date that best works for you.
4. Transportation and Customs
Generally, your goods will be transported to Croatia via your preferring shipping method (road, sea, and air freight) and we will complete all necessary customs formalities and/or paperwork to ensure your goods are travelling smoothly and compliantly without delays.
5. Delivery in Croatia
After customs clearance of your items, we will arrange final delivery to your new address in Croatia. We can also have unloading and unpacking provided, so you can be set up at your new home as soon as possible.
