Our International Moving Services Explained

Our international moving service is a comprehensive package that covers every aspect of your move:

1. Pre-Move Consultation and Planning

We begin by understanding your timeline, destination, inventory size, and any special requirements. This allows us to create a customized moving plan tailored to your specific needs.

2. Professional Packing and Crating

International transit is tough on belongings. Our professional packers use high-quality materials such as double-walled boxes, reinforced crates, and cushioning to safeguard fragile and valuable items. We also specialize in custom crating for artwork, antiques, and delicate electronics.

We manage all necessary paperwork, including:

• Export licenses

This ensures your shipment clears customs smoothly without costly delays or fines.

4. Transportation by Sea or Air Freight

Based on your budget and timeline, we coordinate shipment via:
