How do you ship cargo to Seychelles from the UK? *(lever: island archipelago)*
As a remote island nation, the Seychelles is served by transshipment — sea cargo routes onward to Port Victoria via a regional hub, while air freight into Mahé is often the practical choice for time-sensitive or smaller consignments. Sea suits barrels, boxes, furniture and containers; air suits urgent, fragile or high-value items. We handle LCL/groupage and FCL, collecting anywhere in the UK into our Dagenham depot.
How long does shipping from the UK to Seychelles take?
Sea cargo to Port Victoria generally takes 7–9 weeks, since shipments usually transship through a larger Indian Ocean or Gulf hub before the final island leg. Air freight to Mahé is typically a few working days. We quote a realistic window per shipment.
What does it cost to ship to Seychelles?
Air freight is £5.90 per kg plus £20 handling — often the sensible option for the islands. Sea cargo starts from £70 per bag — call or email for a quote on barrels, boxes and containers. Everything is all-in, in GBP. Send your item list and island destination for an exact figure.
Door-to-door delivery in Seychelles
We collect from any UK address into our Dagenham depot, ship, clear customs and deliver to the recipient's door on Mahé (Victoria) and the main islands. Prefer drop-off and collection? That works too.
Seychelles customs — what you need
Imports clear through Seychelles Customs with duty, VAT/GST and any levies payable on arrival . Documentation is in English or French. We prepare the paperwork so island clearance is smooth, and advise on restricted items before you ship.
