International Move Process

Planning

Before contacting an agent and scheduling a survey, you will need to determine which items you can and cannot take with you. This varies from country to country.

Schedule a consultation and survey

Contact us to schedule an appointment with an experienced relocation consultant. Your consultant will visit your home and explain the international moving process, answer your questions, and provide you with an estimate.

Documentation

Proper and timely documentation is vital to your international move. Your relocation coordinator will guide you through the process of identifying the necessary paperwork for your home and host countries. A delay in completion of the proper paperwork may delay the timing of your shipment.

Other Considerations

Although travel around the world is generally considered safe, we advise you to check with U.S. Department of State for current travel advisories. This website will also inform you of Overseas and Abroad Services available and will guide you on how to register with the Embassies once you arrive. This site has valuable information for U.S Citizens living abroad.
