How we pack for the Gibraltar route
The crossing matters. Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then the length of France and Spain means the load is restrained for road and sea movement, and anything moisture sensitive gets a barrier layer before it is wrapped.
- Item measured and assessed before materials are selected
- Cartons sized to the item; crating arranged where an item genuinely needs it, confirmed at quotation
- Anti-static and moisture control where the contents need it
- Void fill calculated so nothing shifts on a ferry crossing

Customs and documentation for Gibraltar
Gibraltar sits outside the EU customs union, so a Gibraltar import entry is required in addition to Spanish transit. Frontier queues can affect timing.
We prepare the transport documentation and an itemised, valued packing list to travel with the load. Where formal clearance is required we work alongside your broker rather than claiming to replace one.
Regions we deliver into
We deliver across Gibraltar, including Gibraltar town, Europa Point, Ocean Village and Marina Bay.

Frequently asked questions
How long does international packing services to Gibraltar take?
Transit is typically 4–6 days, routing via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then the length of France and Spain. Economy parcel and groupage services take longer because they run to a network schedule. We give you a band rather than a promise, and we tell you if your deadline is not realistic before you book.
What does it cost to ship to Gibraltar?
Guide prices for this service start at £295. Cartons, cases and part loads — packed on site, inventoried and delivered to a European address. The final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.
Do I need customs paperwork for Gibraltar?
Yes, you should plan for it. Gibraltar sits outside the EU customs union, so a Gibraltar import entry is required in addition to Spanish transit. Frontier queues can affect timing. We prepare the packing list and transport documents; formal clearance is confirmed at quotation.
What materials do you use?
Double-wall cartons, closed-cell foam, bubble wrap, corner and edge protection, furniture blankets, stretch film and crating arranged where it is justified. The mix is decided by the item and the route, and it is listed on your quotation.
Can you pack something and leave it with me to ship later?
Yes. Packing can be booked as a standalone visit. Most customers then ask us to move it anyway, because the packing is designed around our own handling — but there is no obligation.
