Alltranz Removals handles international removals UK from our depot at Long March Industrial Estate, Broad March, Daventry NN11 4HE. We hold an International CPC, are Road Haulage Association members, Move Assured accredited, and carry a Waste Carriers Licence. For European road moves, we run our own crews and vehicles. For destinations further afield including Australia, we wrap, pack, store and load with an established freight partner. Either way, the Alltranz team that surveys your home is the team that loads the lorry.
European road moves are carried out using our own fleet and crew. We drive from our Daventry depot to your destination across Europe. Our International CPC is the qualifying credential for this work. We have completed over fifty European trips. The fleet carries satnav, trackers and dash cams throughout. There is no white-label subcontracting on the road leg. Our European removals page covers routes, timings and EU customs rules for moves to Europe.
Destinations beyond Europe (Australia, North America, and long-haul routes) are handled as a wrap, pack, store and load operation. We prepare your goods to export standard at our Daventry depot, then load with a freight partner we have assessed for the route. We remain your single point of contact; the freight partner moves the container.

Alltranz is a family-run Daventry business. You deal with a person, not a job title.
Our credentials go further than a standard removals licence. The International CPC covers the legal and operational requirements for transporting goods both domestically and across Europe. RHA membership means we work to professional haulage standards. Move Assured accreditation and Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce membership add a further layer of accountability. The fleet runs satnav, trackers and dash cams on every run. Containerised storage at our Daventry site comes in 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers, available when completion dates shift or a phased move is needed.
Every international job runs through the same process regardless of destination.
Pre-move survey. In person around Daventry and Northamptonshire, or by video for further afield. We list rooms, measure access, and flag anything needing specialist packing or crating.
Export-grade packing. Full pack or fragile-only by our own crews using recyclable and sustainable packaging materials: double-walled cartons, export crates for fragile items, foam corner protection. We do not send household goods on a long route in standard domestic boxes.
Customs documentation support. We prepare a detailed, valued inventory and packing list and work alongside your appointed customs agent on arrival. We are not a customs broker; the declaration is yours to sign.
Tracked transit. Our fleet carries satnav and dash cams. For European road moves, you can be told where your belongings are on the road.
Storage bridging. Containerised storage at Long March Industrial Estate in 8ft, 10ft and 20ft shipping containers if your destination home is not ready when you leave the UK.
Door-to-door delivery. At the destination address, including unwrap and basic placement of furniture where accessible.
The right shipping option depends on your volume, destination and how flexible your delivery date is.
A full load means your belongings fill the vehicle. The lorry leaves Daventry and goes directly to your destination. Recommended for three and four-bedroom houses and any move where delivery date is fixed by a tenancy or completion.
A part load is a shared vehicle. You pay for the linear metres you need, and your goods travel with one or two other customers heading the same way. Transit takes a few extra days while other drops are completed.
Groupage is the most cost-effective option for smaller volumes. Your shipment is consolidated with others at a hub, then forwarded to the destination region for final delivery. Transit windows are longer and dates less precise. Groupage suits one and two-bedroom moves and low-volume relocations where flexibility matters more than a fixed delivery slot.
Post-Brexit, taking your belongings out of the UK is treated as an international export: a packing list, a valued inventory, and correct paperwork at both the UK border and on arrival.
Most household movers can claim Transfer of Residence relief. If you are moving your main home from the UK to another country and have owned the items for at least six months, you can usually import them without paying duty or tax. The paperwork must be exact: a full, valued inventory, proof of residence at the new address, and matching documentation from the carrier.
What Alltranz handles: a detailed valued inventory built at survey and confirmed on packing day, a packing list mapping to that inventory box by box, all carrier-side documentation the customs agent needs, and a direct line between our team and your agent during the clearance window.
What stays your responsibility: appointing a customs agent in the new country, declaring restricted items honestly, and paying any duty or tax that falls due.
Our international packing materials guide covers export-standard protection, what shortcuts to avoid, and what to ask your removal company before you sign.
We have dedicated pages for the most common international removals UK destinations:
For European road moves, yes. We run our own fleet from our Daventry depot to destinations across Europe. Our International CPC is the qualifying licence for this work and we have completed over fifty European trips. For destinations beyond Europe such as Australia, we pack and load to export standard at our Daventry depot and work with an assessed freight partner for the shipping leg. You deal with Alltranz throughout.
The International CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) is the legal qualification required to operate commercial vehicles internationally. It is not held by every removals firm. For customers booking international removals UK, it means the operator has met a formal regulatory standard for cross-border haulage rather than simply putting a domestic removals van on a ferry.
Yes. Containerised storage is available at our Long March Industrial Estate depot in Daventry. Containers are available in 8ft, 10ft and 20ft sizes, short or long term, for customers in a chain gap or waiting on a property abroad.
We prepare the valued inventory, the packing list, and all carrier-side documentation your customs agent needs. Most UK residents moving their main home abroad can claim Transfer of Residence relief, which typically removes import duty on items owned for at least six months. We are not a customs broker; you appoint your own customs agent in the destination country and the declaration is yours to sign. We brief you on what we know about destination rules at quote stage.
A full load means your belongings fill the vehicle and the lorry goes direct from Daventry to your destination. A part load is a shared vehicle where you pay for the space you need; transit takes a few extra days while other deliveries are completed. Groupage consolidates your shipment with others at a hub before forwarding to your region; it is the most cost-effective option for smaller volumes but transit windows are longer and dates less precise.
Yes. Specialist equipment and a crew briefed on staircase access and tight doorways are available for upright and grand pianos on international removals. Mention the piano when you contact us so we can assess it at survey.
For European road moves, we recommend contacting us at least six to eight weeks before your target move date. For long-haul freight moves, twelve weeks is a more realistic lead time given freight partner scheduling and export documentation requirements. Contact us early and we can confirm a realistic timeline for your destination.
Our international packing materials guide covers export-standard protection requirements, what shortcuts to skip, and what to ask your removal company. Our moving to Europe from UK guide covers the practical steps for a European relocation from the UK, including customs and Transfer of Residence.
