About this service

Moving abroad rarely means moving one thing. There's the household, often a car, sometimes a pet, and for businesses, equipment and stock. Arranging each with a different company means different timelines and paperwork that doesn't line up.

Describe everything that's going, where from and where to. Providers who handle international moves respond with how they'd ship it, the timeline and what's included, so the whole move can be planned and compared together.

International Relocation questions

Yes. They usually travel separately - the pet by air, the household and car by sea - but they can be arranged together so the timing and paperwork line up. Mention everything in one enquiry.

Sea freight costs much less and suits full households, cars and large cargo, but takes weeks. Air freight is fast and more expensive, and suits smaller shipments and pets.

Air freight usually takes days to a couple of weeks. Sea freight is often four to ten weeks door to door, depending on the destination and customs.

Usually, though many countries have rules on a vehicle's age, emissions and steering side, and import duty can be significant. Check the destination's rules before you decide.

It depends on the destination. Food, plants, certain electronics, some liquids and batteries are commonly restricted. Providers will list what applies to your route.

Many countries let used household goods in duty-free if you're moving there to live, but vehicles and commercial goods are often taxed. Rules vary by country, so ask each provider for your destination.
