Make your Aruba move clearer
Plan your belongings around your arrival.
Moving to Aruba, or sending belongings ahead? Tell us what you want to take and which parts of the job you would like us to handle. Our team manages the survey and the move, with professional packing and furniture preparation for a full-service household shipment.
One move, separate arrivals
A move needs a plan for the household as well as the shipment. Tell us how your arrival and the goods fit together, even if some details are still being arranged.
Let the team know whether you are preparing to travel or already in Aruba. Mention any change in your plans that may affect the shipment discussion.
Keep one inventory of the furniture, boxes and other belongings. Say if you are considering separate consignments so the arrangements can be checked together.
Give the receiving address and a contact who understands the access. Explain any stairs, parking restrictions or carrying distance before large furniture is included in the plan.
Start with the things you are taking
Build a room-by-room list and mark what needs the team's help. Our full-service moves include international packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, with the work agreed for your belongings.
Our team includes specialists with over 20 years of experience in international packing. Show us delicate pieces, awkward furniture and anything needing closer attention at collection.
Build your household inventoryCheck your own circumstances
Aruba Customs publishes information for people moving their household belongings. Use the official guidance to identify the questions that apply to you, then confirm the current procedure with Customs or a customs broker.
Customs describes different personal circumstances when registration with Aruba's Civil Registry Office, Censo, has not been completed. Ask which procedure and conditions apply to you before settling the shipment arrangements.
The authority decides any exemption. An initial enquiry needs only your broad moving plans; keep passports, permits and other identity records out of it.
Read the Aruba Customs application guidanceCustoms has separate guidance for forwarded household effects, including belongings arriving after the resident and goods sent in parts. Check the inventory, arrival arrangements and current conditions before planning more than one consignment.
Read the forwarded-effects guidanceOfficial sources checked 6 November 2026. These preparation questions do not decide eligibility, duties, permits or clearance. For goods leaving the UK, also check the GOV.UK export steps.
Choose the help at the other end
Our established Caribbean agents can assist with paperwork, port collection and home delivery. You can also choose shipping to port or manage your own paperwork. Give us the Aruba address and the help you want so the quotation can describe that shipment's handover.
Before your Aruba move
Yes. Tell us which belongings need preparing and where the work is needed. Full-service moves include international packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly; the survey and quotation should identify the work for your items. Packing-only booking conditions need a separate check.
Aruba Customs describes procedures for different circumstances, including registration still in progress. Ask Customs or a customs broker which current procedure applies to you. This page does not decide an exemption or tell you to send goods before the arrangements are checked.
Raise that when discussing the shipment. The official forwarded-effects guidance covers this situation and goods arriving in parts. Confirm the applicable conditions and keep the inventory and consignment plans clear.
You can request shipping to port or handle your own paperwork. If you want agent-assisted paperwork and home delivery, give the address and access details. Agree the handover, work and charges for the arrangement you choose.
Start with the actual origin, intended Aruba receiving area, item list, quantities and the help you need. Mark measurements and dates as estimates where necessary. The team will review the route and scope before anything is booked or priced.
Use the route-from option and name the country your belongings need to reach. Collection and receiving arrangements for that direction need their own review. Discuss a shipment leaving Aruba.
