Top Tips for Shipping Containers and Boxes Between the UK and Israel with Kings Removals

Shipping personal belongings, household goods, or business items between the UK and Israel can be a complex task. At Kings Removals, we specialise in international removals and container shipping services, making the process smooth, secure, and stress-free.
Whether you’re relocating for work, family, or business, here are our top tips for shipping containers and boxes between the UK and Israel.

1. Choose the Right Shipping Option
Kings Removals offers several flexible options:

Full Container Load (FCL) – Ideal for customers moving a full household or large volume of items.

Less than Container Load (LCL) – Perfect for smaller shipments. Share container space and save costs.

Air freight – Fast but more expensive; ideal for urgent or smaller items.

Tip: If you’re not sure which is best, our team can provide a free assessment based on your needs.

2. Plan Ahead and Book Early
International shipping can take time – typically 2 to 6 weeks depending on customs, port schedules, and chosen service.

Start planning at least 6–8 weeks in advance

Book early to secure the best rates and container availability

This allows for proper packing, documentation, and scheduling, especially during busy seasons.

3. Understand Customs Regulations for the UK and Israel
Each country has strict customs rules and import/export restrictions. For example:

Prohibited items include hazardous materials, certain electronics, and restricted medications

Documentation typically includes a packing list, bill of lading, and proof of ownership

At Kings Removals, we handle customs clearance for you – ensuring your shipment complies with UK and Israeli regulations.

4. Pack Smart and Label Clearly
Proper packing ensures your items arrive safely.

Use sturdy, double-walled boxes

Wrap fragile items in bubble wrap or foam

Clearly label each box with contents, destination room, and your name

We also offer professional packing services to save you time and protect valuables.

5. Get Insurance Coverage
While we ensure maximum care, international transit can involve unexpected risks.

We offer comprehensive shipping insurance for peace of mind

Coverage includes damage, loss, or delay due to unforeseen circumstances

Don’t ship without it – it’s worth the extra protection.
