Unaccompanied Baggage
As soon as possible after receiving your posting authority it is advisable to contact your Unit Quartermaster Department/PD Clerk regarding the shipment of your unaccompanied baggage, they will confirm your allowance and entitlements. You will be required to complete F/Mov/713A, prior to the collection of your unaccompanied baggage; you will be required to complete a customs form to enable you to import your personal goods into Cyprus. Do not be alarmed by this form and its completion. You should only list major electrical goods and furniture you will be sending i.e. fridge freezer, three-piece suite, microwave etc. Bearing in mind that your cubic capacity will limit what you can bring.  The excess charge per cubic metre over your limit is expensive. 

Household furniture and other articles, which you do not wish to bring, can be stored in the UK at public expense. A removal service does operate in Cyprus; however the capacity is greatly reduced compared to that for a move within Europe.  Although you might have been advised that it takes six weeks from time of collection to time of delivery, previous experience has shown that eight weeks is a more sensible timescale. Unlike Europe there is no requirement to give a quarter address in Cyprus prior to shipment. All unaccompanied baggage received at the Port Unit in Limassol will be stored until your arrival. Please refer to the Baggage Scales (Entitlements) at Annex F.

Storage
- Complete in an F/Mov/713 and return to your Unit Families Office. 
-M&S Shipping will contract a civilian storage firm to collect and store the remainder of your personal belongings and household contents.
