Four major factors that will determine your final International Moving cost:
Distance between the United States and the destination country.
Method of transportation required to reach the destination country. For instance, traveling by ship to another country would be a different cost than if it is within driving distance.
The weight, volume and cubic feet of space of your shipment.
Whether or not your boxes are packed and ready go when the movers arrive.
Customs Regulations:
Nearly all countries have a customs agency responsible for collecting fees or duties on some imported goods. You may have to go through customs twice – once when exiting the origin country and again when entering the destination country. It is important that you check with customs offices at both locations in advance for information on their regulations and dutiable items.
As your shipment goes through Customs, it is important to be on hand to answer any questions, to provide additional documentation if requested, and to pay any duties that are levied against your goods.
Appliances:
Many countries of the world operate on different electrical voltage and use different outlets for connection to their electric service. Make certain your appliances will work overseas or can be adapted to work in a foreign country.
Make certain all appliances you plan to take have been disconnected, cleaned, and serviced prior to the packers arriving at your home. Check the original owner’s manual for instructions.
Appliances using water, such as refrigerators, washers, dryers, freezers, humidifiers and de-humidifiers, must be dry of moisture to prevent mold and mildew. Usually they need a day to dry before packing. This is also an important step if your appliances are going to storage.
All mechanical and electrical equipment should be checked and serviced beforehand. Many appliances require service by a professional technician. Items usually requiring service include:
Washer /dryer
Grandfather clock
Stereos/CDs
Computers/printers
Large TVs
Pool table
Refrigerators
Waterbeds
What to Take:
Before deciding what household goods and personal effects to take, consider the following:
How long will you live in a foreign country?
In what type of resident housing will you live? Most properties in foreign countries have smaller square footage and closet space than the U.S.
What restrictions apply or what items are you prohibited from taking?
Will your appliances or electronics work in the destination country? Will you need transformers, adapters, or regulators for conversion? Is service available if there is a failure?
Many domestic broadcasting systems are not compatible with receivers on foreign televisions. Check with the Consulate to see if this pertains to your destination.
To help you decide on what to take, draw a space plan of where furniture will be placed in your new residence. Pay special attention to appliances like washers/dryers and refrigerators.
After determining what to move, decide what items you will need immediately when you arrive. These items can be shipped air freight to ensure delivery at the same time you arrive in the destination country. Other household goods may deliver later, especially if transported by the more cost efficient steamship method.
Normally, passports are available in two to three weeks following the completion of the paperwork. Also, since passport photographs are used for other documents and licenses, we suggest you have about ten (10) photographs printed at one time.
Export Declaration Form: This document declares your household goods and motor vehicles being shipped out of the country.
