An international move is a huge undertaking but can be managed step by step. There are lots of

international moving companies as well as overseas moving companies. The first step is to

check their back ground. How long have they been in business, do they offer in home estimates, are

they insured, can you visit their facility and or warehouse to see that it is in good order? Are they

familiar with customs requirements and packing regulations? Does the company hold a Registered

International Movers Certificate?

This ensures the company has successfully passed a test and meets necessary standards in equipment

and facilities to handle international shipping. It also means that the employees have had training in

shipping. And does the moving company have an office in your new city? If not there may be added

expenses for having another company finish the move.

Next consider exactly what you are going to move and then start getting estimates. There are a

couple of ways to do this. It can be done over the phone, over the internet, with forms to be filled

out or with a company representative visiting your home. The latter is most recommended for the

most accurate quote. Make sure you get a copy of Your Rights and Responsibilities booklet, so you

know what they are responsible for and what you must handle.

Decide on who is packing your goods, you or the moving company. If the movers are packing, try to

be on site to be sure only what you want is packed. Packed unwanted items will add to the overall

cost. Costs are determined by weight and cubic square feet. Also, while the international moving

company has it's own insurance you should buy your own comprehensive moving insurance.

Moving from door to door takes a cooperative effort. Many overseas moving companies will

coordinate all needed services, such as the moving vans to the shipping destination, the actual

shipping (by air, sea, rail) as well as the van delivering to the new location. Unpacking: who will do it?

Be sure to inspect everything as it's unloaded if possible. If the shipping company is unpacking your

goods, check the condition of everything. If there are problems, fill out the needed forms right then, if

possible. Do not sign the Bill of Lading until you have inspected and accounted for everything. Note

that hooking up appliances at the new home is not covered as part of the moving expenses unless

additional arrangements were made.

And finally, international moving companies may have special requirements if shipping a car,

antiques, fine art, pianos or any other unusual items. Check their rules and regulations and the need

for additional insurances.
