International Moving service in New York City, New York

International Moving Service Moving abroad is a complex feat requiring the involvement of several moving companies, as well as a ship line and port authorities in origin and destination countries. Since the process involves dealing with numerous entities in different countries, with different charges in different currencies, it could prove quite challenging to stay on top of the process and understand the costs and terms of each leg of the project.

For this reason it is highly recommended to work with one move manager who will take care of the logistic aspect of the move while studying in advance the precise costs which are included and not included in the move. The Moving Process A local team will pick up your inventory at your current residence. Note movers need a valid USDOT authorization to perform Household Goods moves.
The truck will drive your belongings to a warehouse where they'll be loaded onto a container for either dedicated or consolidated shipping. Dedicated /Exclusive - the container will be loaded exclusively with your belongings. This allows for better control of delivery dates, at a higher cost. Consolidated – the container will be loaded with several inventories. This is a more affordable shipping method, but it usually takes more time and involves a wider delivery window.

The container will be driven to the port from which it will be shipped internationally. Your belongings will be shipped from the origin port to the port at your destination country by the ship line, where the container will be unloaded and held at the customs bonded warehouse. Usually the delivery time frame is between 30-60 days, but this can vary so consider the estimated delivery window before choosing a moving company. Make sure the time frame is suitable for your needs and make proper arrangements for the waiting period. Another detail to take note of is whether the moving company is offering Door to Door or Door to Port service.

Door to door means your belongings will be transported from your old home to your new one. Door to port means they will only be shipped as far as the port at your destination city. All Unpakt moves are door to door.

The destination agent will clear the goods through customs and then transport them to your new residence. If your new home will not be ready in time to receive your belongings, make sure to include storage services in your order ahead of time.
