Moving to Macau? We make it simple

Macau is a free port, which takes most of the usual customs worry out of an overseas move. Your household goods generally arrive without any import duty. What’s left is the shipping, and that’s ours to transport door to door.

Whether you’re moving to Macau or heading back from it, our team handles the job from survey to delivery. You concentrate on the new place; we get your belongings into it.

Removals to Macau with Schepens

Four generations of family ownership, and regular routes into the Far East. Here’s what that brings you.

  • Experience with free ports
    Macau charges no duty on most household imports, though shipments above a set value still need declaring. We take care of that declaration, so nothing stalls between the quayside and your door.
  • Bespoke removal plans (full load/part load)
    No two moves are alike. Whether it’s a single container or a handful of boxes, your plan is built around your volume, your dates and your budget.
  • Packing built for the long haul
    Your belongings cover thousands of miles by sea. Export-grade packaging, with custom crates for the fragile pieces, means they leave in good order and arrive the same way.
  • Competitive global transport routes
    Macau sits next to Hong Kong, one of the busiest shipping hubs in Asia, so sailings are frequent. Tell us what you’re sending, and we’ll price it up.

Removals to Macau – what to expect

From first survey to final delivery, here’s how a Macau move works.

01

Initial survey and planning

It starts with a survey, in person or remote, to size up the volume and check access. Point out anything tricky about getting items out at this stage, and we’ll build it into the plan rather than meet it on the day.

02

Packing and preparation in the UK

Everything is packed to export standard before it leaves, with custom crates for fragile or high-value pieces. The route to Macau is a long one by sea, and we pack to prepare for it.

03

Transport to Macau

Your shipment travels by sea freight, with road transport on the final leg to bring it into Macau and up to your door. We’ll set out the options and recommend the route that balances cost, speed and safety for what you’re sending.

04

Customs and documentation

Clearing your shipment is our job. Because Macau is a free port, most household goods pass through without duty, but we handle the declaration and paperwork so your belongings aren’t held up at the port.

05

Delivery in Macau

Once cleared, we bring your things across to the door by road at a time agreed with you. Fancy a hand with the unpacking or the reassembly? Our team are glad to help.

Where we deliver across Macau

We deliver right across Macau, from the peninsula to the islands and the districts between them. Regular destinations include the Macau Peninsula, Taipa, Coloane, Cotai, Sé, Santo António, São Lourenço and Nossa Senhora de Fátima.

Removals to Macau – how long, and how much

Careful planning is what gets your belongings to Macau where and when you expect them. Here’s what decides the cost and the timing.

Cost factors

The price reflects the volume you’re sending, your collection address, part load or full load, and the shipping option. Exact pricing needs those details, so call the team, and they’ll give you an estimate.

Timeframe

Sea schedules to the Far East sit outside our control, so we begin with a delivery window rather than a fixed date. Once the sailing and the shipment details are set, we sharpen that into a closer arrival to help you plan.

Macau removal FAQs

The sea schedule and whether the container is yours or shared will determine the removal time. Your plan comes with an expected arrival, and we tighten it as the sailing date approaches, giving you a better idea of exactly when to expect your items.

This depends on how much you’re moving. Working alongside the shipping hub at neighbouring Hong Kong lets us operate at scale and keep rates down, which keeps our Macau removals competitive.
