International moves require a longer planning horizon than domestic relocations. We begin the coordination process weeks before your move date to ensure documentation, packing, and logistics are in order well before your departure window.

Our international move process starts with a detailed inventory review and a destination assessment. We research the customs requirements and import regulations for your specific destination country and advise on any items that may require additional documentation or that are subject to restrictions. A detailed move plan is built around your departure date, destination timeline, and any storage needs.

Packing and Origin Coordination

Our packing team uses international-grade materials rated for extended transit and varied handling conditions. Fragile and high-value items are custom-crated on-site. Every item is catalogued, labeled, and documented with the level of detail required for customs declarations and insurance coverage. Packing typically occurs one to two days before your shipment departs.

All required export documentation is prepared and reviewed before the shipment leaves. Your dedicated coordinator confirms all documentation is complete and accurate to avoid delays at the port of origin.

Shipping, Customs, and Delivery

Once your shipment departs, your coordinator tracks its progress and keeps you updated on transit status. At the destination port, customs clearance is coordinated through our international partners. Any issues or additional documentation requests are handled promptly to minimize delays.

Upon customs clearance, your shipment is delivered to your new address. Our delivery team or our destination partner team places your furniture and boxes as directed, reassembles items that were broken down for transport, and completes a final inventory check with you to confirm everything has arrived in proper condition.
