Getting An Estimate
The first step in overseas moving is to have an estimator visit your home to make a complete evaluation of your goods. There is no charge for this survey, and, of course, you are under NO OBLIGATION whatsoever. The estimator will examine each room in order to determine the total cubic footage and the shipping method best suited to your particular needs and will provide you with a written estimate of approximate costs to ship. You will need to inform the estimator of what kind of service you will need. Take this chance to ask any questions that you may have about your international move.

Planning Your Move
Deciding on which items you will ship is a difficult task. Make sure you consider all the important factors when planning. If you have a new home or apartment secured, know the size of the rooms, have a floor plan, and know just how your furniture and appliances will fit in the space. Remember that the dimensions of halls, stairways, and elevators in some countries can be considerably smaller than in the United States, and oversized couches and pianos may not fit in.

Items Not To Ship
To avoid any significant financial loss, damage to goods or customs complications, it is not recommended to transport any of the following list:

  1. Valuable Papers
  2. Stamp Collection
  3. Coin Collection
  4. Valuable Jewelry
  5. Pressure Spray Cans.
  6. Flammable Items
  7. Liquid Bleach
  8. Opened Liquid Glass Bottles
  9. Excessive Food Staples.
  10. Fire Arms (license required in some countries)
  11. Broadcast Equipment or Walkie-Talkie (license required in some countries)
  12. New Building Materials
  13. Alcohol (hand luggage only)

Caution: Do not include in your shipment items belonging to others. Customs examinations may reveal importation of duplicate or restricted items resulting in fines, penalties or confiscation.

How To Pack
Preliminary packing of dishes, silver, crystal and other breakables should be left to us, the packing professionals. We can do it better – and in a fraction of the time. However, if you prefer to do your own pre-packing for reasons of convenience and economy, you may very well do so.

  1. Valid passport and the passport of your wife or your husband and your children who are dependents, including all previous passports, if any.
  2. Invoices for any new appliances and other purchases
  3. Contract or lease of your apartment.
