You can send most household items and personal effects to Cyprus from the UK via our shipping service, plus large items like furniture and kitchen appliances if you use the MoveCube® moving pod. However, like all international destinations, Cyprus has its own customs rules and import restrictions designed to protect public safety, the environment and local regulations.

As a general rule, we strongly recommend reviewing our Prohibited Goods page before preparing your shipment, as it includes both obvious and less obvious items that may not be permitted. This ensures your inventory is compliant and helps your belongings move through customs in Cyprus as smoothly as possible.

You may be able to import used household belongings into Cyprus without paying customs duties if you meet the Transfer of Residence (ToR) requirements set by Cypriot customs.

To qualify, you must be permanently relocating your main residence to Cyprus and be able to prove that your items have been owned and used for at least six months before your move. Your shipment must also be imported within 12 months of establishing residency.

If you don’t meet these conditions, your shipment may be subject to standard import duties and 19% VAT. To help avoid delays, it’s important to complete your inventory and shipping documentation accurately before we ship your belongings.

The cost of shipping belongings to Cyprus depends on the size of your shipment, where you’re sending it from in the UK, and your final delivery address in Cyprus. Because every move is different, we tailor pricing to your exact requirements rather than offering one fixed rate.

To keep things simple and transparent, we provide a free instant online quote that breaks down your total cost in minutes. This way, you can see exactly what’s included before you book, with no hidden fees or unexpected charges.

To ensure your shipment arrives via the most efficient method possible, all sea shipping and air routes are predefined and cannot be altered.

Clearing customs in Cyprus: what you need to know

We make shipping personal effects to Cyprus from the UK as smooth as possible by guiding you through the customs paperwork and ensuring your luggage is cleared by Cypriot customs without unnecessary delays or fines.

To benefit from customs relief when sending belongings to Cyprus, the country operates a Transfer of Residence (ToR) scheme for used household goods. This allows you to import goods tax-free if: 

  • You are permanently relocating to Cyprus and making the island your main residence. 
  • You have owned and used your items for at least 6 months before your move.
  • Your shipment arrives within 12 months of you establishing residency in Cyprus.

If you do not meet these requirements, your shipment may be subject to standard import duties and 19% VAT, depending on the items being imported. That’s why it’s important to complete your inventory and shipping documentation carefully and accurately, as Cypriot customs may use this information to assess your shipment.

Luckily, our friendly team are on hand if you need help at any stage, ensuring your paperwork is correct, and your belongings move through customs as efficiently as possible.

Preparing your shipment for sending to Cyprus: 4-step packing guide

When preparing your items for international shipping, careful packing is the key to ensuring everything arrives safely. To prevent rushing and last-minute slip-ups, allow plenty of time to organise your shipment before collection day. You might also want to consider using a professional packing service for extra convenience and peace of mind.

To help you get started, follow our simple packing tips below and, for more detailed advice, take a look at our specialist packing guides

 

Start with a declutter:

First, decide what’s really worth taking with you; after all, the less you ship, the lower your costs and the easier your move will be. Consider whether items suit Cyprus’s warm Mediterranean climate, such as heavy winter coats and thick duvets. 

Sell unwanted goods on platforms like eBay or Facebook Marketplace, donate usable items to charity shops, and recycle anything that can’t be reused. 

Take your time with fragile objects:

Pack breakable belongings, like glassware, with extra care to guarantee they arrive in top condition. Reinforce the base of your box with multiple layers of strong parcel tape, and repeat the process to securely seal the top once packed.

Cover each item in bubble wrap and fill gaps with packing paper to prevent movement. Give the box a gentle shake; if anything shifts, add more padding.

Fill in your Inventory Packing List:

Before collection day, log in to your account and complete your online inventory. This is an itemised list of everything you’re sending to Cyprus and is essential for smooth customs clearance. 

Also, as you pack, clearly label each box or bag with your box number, ensuring it matches your Inventory Packing List. This makes handling and tracking your shipment much easier throughout its journey.

Get ready for a smooth collection day:

For safety, each box or bag should not exceed 30kg/66lbs. We recommend weighing your items using bathroom scales as you pack. If anything is over the limit, redistribute items into a lighter container.

Once everything is packed, bring your luggage as close to your entrance as possible before collection, to make the handover easier and keep the process running smoothly for both you and the driver.

Brilliant service from start to finish. Clear pricing and instructions, and a great online portal. All our items arrived safely and within the quoted timescales.

Best attractions and things to do in Cyprus

Cyprus is a sun-drenched Mediterranean island where ancient history meets modern coastal living. From rugged mountain villages and Venetian walls to golden beaches and crystal-clear waters, it offers a rich blend of culture, nature and relaxed island life. Visitors are often drawn in by its welcoming atmosphere, laid-back pace and the seamless mix of Greek and Turkish Cypriot influences that shape its identity.

Across the island’s main cities and regions, there’s no shortage of unforgettable places to explore:

 

Nicosia

Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is a city where centuries of history sit side by side with a lively modern culture. Set inland on the Mesaoria plain, it has been continuously inhabited for over a thousand years and offers an intriguing mix of bustling streets, hidden courtyards and bistros that spill into sunlit squares.

Follow the ramparts: encircling the old city, these striking 16th-century fortifications still define Nicosia’s shape today. Travel back in time by walking the walls and passing through ancient gateways, and get a sense of the city’s layered past.

Enjoy a pamper: dating back over 500 years, the beautifully restored Ottoman-era Hamam Omerye Bathhouse continues to operate today, offering a unique chance to experience a centuries-old bathing tradition in a deeply restorative setting.

Step into the Cyprus Museum: home to the island’s most important archaeological collection, this museum brings Cyprus’s ancient story to life through gold jewellery, statues and artefacts spanning thousands of years.

Lose yourself in Laiki Geitonia: in this quarter, narrow lanes twist past whitewashed buildings, wooden balconies and family-run workshops, where you’ll find handmade crafts, local treats and welcoming tavernas.

Limassol

Sitting on Cyprus’s southern coast, Limassol is known for its blend of ancient heritage, working port history and modern waterfront development. It’s one of the island’s most important economic centres, but also a popular destination for visitors thanks to its beaches and cultural sites.

Get up close to classic cars: from polished chrome to F1 racing icons, the Cyprus Historic & Classic Motor Museum is a surprisingly fun stop that brings automotive history to life in the heart of Limassol.

Take in a view: a modern waterfront development built around a natural harbour, the Marina showcases the city’s recent transformation into a luxury coastal hub, set against a stunning Mediterranean backdrop.

Walk the Molos seafront: this landscaped promenade runs along the city’s shoreline and features public art installations, gardens, play areas and cycle paths. It’s a popular route for both locals and visitors, especially in the cooler hours of the day.

Make a splash: Fasouri Watermania is an award-winning waterpark packed with thrilling slides, lazy rivers, wave pools and family-friendly attractions. Whether you’re racing down high-speed rides or relaxing in the sun with a cocktail in hand, it’s guaranteed to be a fun-filled day!

Larnaca

Larnaca is a laid-back coastal city where everyday life revolves around the sea. With a long palm-fringed promenade, shallow warm waters and easy access to nature, it offers a slower, more relaxed side of Cyprus that still has plenty to explore.

Unwind on Finikoudes Promenade: this bustling beachfront strip is lined with tall palm trees and restaurants, with a wide sandy beach just a few steps away.

Gasp at Byzantine architecture: Saint Lazarus Church is one of Larnaca’s most iconic landmarks, boasting ornate baroque woodcarving, religious relics and many terracotta-tiled domes.

Take a hike at the Salt Lake: a striking natural landscape just outside the centre, this lake changes dramatically with the seasons — dry and shimmering in summer, and home to flamingos and other migratory birds in winter.

Visit Hala Sultan Tekke: an important Islamic pilgrimage site, this remarkable mosque is especially striking at sunrise or sunset, when the light softens, and the whole area takes on a quiet, almost otherworldly atmosphere.

Paphos

Paphos blends ancient mythology with dramatic coastal scenery. Set on the island’s southwest coast, it’s a place where stunning mosaics, crumbling rock-cut tombs and lively harbour life all sit within easy reach of the sea.

Descend into the Tombs of the Kings: despite the name, these vast underground chambers weren’t built for royalty but for high-ranking officials. Carved into solid rock and spread across a coastal hillside, the site feels almost maze-like, with open courtyards, stone columns and hidden burial chambers.

Get a feel for Roman life: just above the harbour, the sprawling open-air Paphos Archaeological Park preserves some of the best ancient mosaics in the Mediterranean.

Set sail from Paphos Harbour: there are countless boat trips from the harbour, offering everything from coastal cruises with sweeping views to snorkelling in crystal-clear coves along the Akamas Peninsula.

See the birthplace of beauty: Aphrodite’s Rock is a striking cluster of limestone sea stacks rising from turquoise waters. According to Greek mythology, it is the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who is said to have emerged from the sea foam here.
