Some people move only a few blocks, others moving across the city, some even move across the country. Those are all difficult moves, but there are few moves as difficult as an international move.
International moves take the stress of a typical move and ramp it up several degrees.
First, when you are planning an international move, the same preplanning tasks you would take in a domestic move are used. However, you should make special considerations for the added time it will take to do the move, the paperwork you will need and the regulations that exist in foreign countries.

You will need to find someone who has worldwide capabilities and can arrange for the move from the United States to another country. This is not as simple as driving a U-Haul, unless you go from the United States to Canada, because you can’t drive over the ocean, so you need moving service companies and moving services that can do the job right for you.
There are items you should not move, and these include many household goods like plants, foods and flammables. On top of this, you should learn about anything that may be boycotted in certain countries. These could be manufactures, materials, liquor, firearms and ammunition. You should always consult the destination country consular before you start thinking of moving boycotted items through customs.
If you are transporting your car, it may make a better idea to sell the car because the custom duty on importation of automobiles varies by country, but it is usually extremely high. You could buy another car in your new location from the money you made on the sale of your previous car.
Pets are not always allowed in some countries and are prohibited in others so ensure you know exactly what is allowed in your destination country. You may require an entry permit, health and rabies certificates, or even a quarantine period up to six months or longer at your own expense.
There are several documents that should be completed to avoid any complications at your destination, and you should have the following items available including your passport, certificate of registration, US Export Forms, Visa, Residence and Work Permits, Medical and Immunization Certificates, International Driving Permits and Marriage Certificates.
Most international movers will also require that you make a payment at the completion of the load, and once the payment is received, the shipment will be released and sent to the port of origin. If you do not make payment, your goods will sit at the port and collect storage costs that you will have to pay. You should always get a quote on what everything is going to cost, and you should understand that rates change constantly with international quotes being good for 30 days.
Moving overseas or to another country is not always easy, but as long as you know what to expect and what to have, you can get the move done and over with without any real headaches or problems. |
