Appliances Shipping Cost from Libreville to London

Shipping a container to United Kingdom varies in cost, with the average price ranging from $1,150 to $4,850 US Dollars. The timeline for shipping a full container to United Kingdom can differ based on the container's size (20ft or 40ft) and the chosen route.

At a minimum of 30-40 days for a door to door shipment from the US to the UK, sea freight has the longest lead time. That's because ships move a lot slower than planes.

Shipping personal items from the US to the UK involves choosing a carrier (USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL for speed; freight for bulky items), preparing a detailed packing list and customs forms (like ToR for duty relief), understanding potential VAT/duties (especially for items over £135), and factoring in transit times (days for express, weeks for sea freight) versus cost. Key steps include getting a ToR reference from GOV.UK, accurately declaring items with their value, and being aware of UK customs rules for VAT and prohibited goods.
