What customs documentation is required for international shipping?
We provide destination-specific customs guidelines with booking confirmation. Always verify current regulations with your destination country's consulate for duty-free eligibility and compliance.
Do you offer insurance for international shipments?
Yes, we offer full coverage (all-risk) and total loss coverage. Full coverage requires professional packing and a detailed inventory list. Insurance must be finalized before shipment pickup.

Lithium batteries under 100Wh (like phones/laptops) are allowed if declared. Items over 100Wh require special handling, HAZMAT declarations, and may incur surcharges. Spare batteries are prohibited.
What are prohibited items for international moving?
Most countries restrict perishables, plants, medications, weapons, and hazardous materials. Always check your destination's customs regulations for specific prohibitions before shipping.
How long does international shipping take?
Transit times vary: FCL takes 3-12 weeks, LCL 1-5 months, and airfreight 1-3 weeks. Factors include destination, season, and shipping volume. Your coordinator provides specific estimates.
Do you handle vehicle importation requirements?
Yes, we assist with vehicle shipping compliance, including import duties, required modifications, and registration. Always drain fuel tanks to less than 1/4 full for safety.
