Frequently Asked Questions

How do I ship to Cyprus from abroad?

Choose between sea freight (FCL or LCL groupage) for cost efficiency, or air freight for speed. Shoham handles end-to-end: pickup at origin, international transport, arrival in Cyprus (via Limassol Port or Larnaca Airport), customs clearance, and final delivery to your door anywhere in Cyprus.

What's the cheapest way to ship to Cyprus?

For shipments over 1 cubic meter, sea freight (LCL/groupage) is the cheapest option — typically 50-70% less than air freight. For full container loads (FCL), sea is unbeatable on price per kg. Small or urgent items go by air freight; we pick the right mode for your shipment.

How long does shipping to Cyprus take?

From UK: sea 14-18 days, air 5-7 days. From EU: sea 5-14 days, air 3-5 days. From USA: sea 4-6 weeks, air 7-10 days. From Asia: sea 4-6 weeks, air 7-10 days. Transit time is from departure to arrival in Cyprus; door delivery adds 1-3 days.

What documents do I need to ship goods to Cyprus?

For commercial cargo: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, certificate of origin, and any product-specific certificates (CE marking, phytosanitary, etc.). For personal effects: inventory list, passport copy, transfer-of-residence documents if applicable. We prepare and verify all documentation for you.

Do I need a freight forwarder to ship to Cyprus?

Strictly no — but using one saves significant time and money. Shoham's in-house customs team handles all documentation, tariff classification, duty calculation and regulatory compliance, preventing the costly delays and penalties that catch out direct importers.
