International Shipping
At Cotswold Carriers, we deliver a trusted and comprehensive international shipping solution, managing every step of your international shipping requirements from collection to delivery.
No job is too big - we ship using 20 or 40 foot containers, and for smaller international shipments we can source groupage containers, which is a cost-effective option where your belongings share container space with other shipments heading to the same destination.
Preparation is key. Use durable, high-quality boxes and packing materials and ensure items, particularly fabric, are clean and dry before packing to avoid mildew. Whilst we support reusing and recycling where appropriate, when it comes to international shipping, it is recommended to use new boxes and high-quality packing materials to avoid wear and tear. Cotswold Carriers can help with this, too. See our packing and moving services page to find out how.
We can collect your items, wrap or crate them, and organise their shipment to most international destinations, including:
- United States
- South Africa
- India
- Australia
- Canada
- And more - just ask
International Shipping Customs, Regulations, and Paperwork
