Our Proven 6-Step Process

From initial survey to final delivery, we handle every detail of your international move with professionalism and care.

The first step is understanding what you're moving. We offer three flexible survey options to suit your needs:

Self Survey

You complete a simple online form and checklist.

  • Number of rooms and key items (beds, sofas, tables, appliances, outdoor items, etc.)
  • Any fragile, high-value or awkward pieces (artwork, pianos, gym equipment, safes)
  • Access details (stairs, lifts, parking distance, narrow driveways)

Best for smaller moves, repeat customers, or when you already know exactly what's going.

Video Survey

A move consultant calls you via video (e.g. WhatsApp/Zoom/FaceTime).

  • You walk them through each room, garage, garden and storage area
  • Estimate volume in real time
  • Identify packing needs and special handling
  • Check access constraints and parking requirements

Ideal when you have a busy schedule or live further away from our local branch.

In-Home Survey

A consultant visits your home in person.

  • Walk through room by room to measure/estimate volume
  • Note items needing disassembly, crating or extra protection
  • Check stairs, lifts, access, parking and any restrictions
  • Discuss packing options (full or partial) and extra services (storage, cleaning, handyman, vehicles, pets)

Recommended for larger households, complex access or high-value shipments.

Across all survey types we:

  • Record the estimated volume/weight of your shipment
  • Flag any customs or quarantine risks for international moves
  • Capture everything needed to prepare your free, detailed quotation and moving plan

How are customs duties and taxes calculated?+

Customs duties depend on destination country regulations, item values, and your residency status.

Used household goods for personal use often qualify for duty-free import. We provide guidance on documentation requirements.

Required documents include passport copy, visa/work permit, detailed inventory list, and proof of residence.

Specific requirements vary by destination. We assist with all customs documentation and declarations.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?+

FCL (Full Container Load) means exclusive container use. Ideal for large household moves requiring 15+ cubic meters.

LCL (Less than Container Load) or groupage shares container space. Cost-effective for smaller shipments under 15 cubic meters.

How should I prepare for an international move?+

Start planning 8-12 weeks before your move date. Research destination country customs requirements and quarantine regulations.

Declutter and organize belongings. Gather important documents. Schedule pre-move survey for accurate volume assessment.
