An overseas household move involves more than the international shipping leg. Your plan should cover origin packing and pickup, transportation, documentation, customs clearance arrangements, and delivery services at your destination.

Ask which services are included in your estimate and which responsibilities remain with you. Tell your coordinator about fragile items, building access, elevator reservations, and any storage needs before booking.

Ocean and Air Shipping Options

The appropriate shipping method depends on your origin, shipment size, schedule, and budget. Discuss the available air shipping and ocean freight options with our team.

International transit dates are estimates and can be affected by carrier schedules, port handling, inspections, and document readiness. Confirm the expected pickup and delivery windows for your specific move.

US Customs Documents for Household Goods

Prepare your documents before the shipment departs. Your coordinator will explain the checklist for your move; requirements depend on your circumstances and the goods involved.

A detailed packing list or inventory of the goods being shipped.
Identification and arrival or residency information relevant to your entry.
CBP Form 3299 for unaccompanied household goods, where applicable.
Any additional declarations, authorizations, or supporting documents requested for your shipment.

Review the official CBP guidance on importing used household goods y Form 3299 instructions. Eligibility for duty-free entry is conditional; new items, vehicles, and restricted goods require separate review.

Delivery to Your New Home in the United States

Delivery is coordinated after customs release and the applicable destination arrangements are complete. Provide the full delivery address and tell us about parking restrictions, stairs, elevators, or limited access.

If your home will not be ready when the shipment arrives, discuss storage options and costs in advance. Confirm the delivery services included in your estimate.

What Determines the Cost?

Pricing depends on the origin country, US destination, volume, packing, shipping method, access, and additional services. Review port or terminal charges, customs-related costs, storage, and special handling so you understand what is included.
