Moving Overseas: International Guide
By Nancy Curry
As more corporations worldwide expand their operations to overseas locations, more employees and families relocate to foreign locations.. International moves are common and nowadays are very easy to plan.
Planning is a key to a successful international door-to-door relocation, and here are some helpful tips to assist you in planning your international move.
The Moving Date
One of the first things to consider is your moving date. Keep this in mind when choosing the Moving Date:
The first or last few days of the month tend to be the busiest moving times - avoid them.
Your destination country s holiday schedule might result in unnecessary delays so check the calendar before scheduling your moving Date.
Transport
Motor freight carrier, railroad, steamship line, or airline will be used to ship your household goods. Your packed and loaded shipment will be transported to the port of exit by truck or rail. There the container(s) will be loaded into a vessel or into an aircraft.
Packing and Shipping
Your international movers can professionally wrap and pack your personal belonginings in cartons and shipping crates to protect them from damage. Whether your household or office is shipped in a lift-van, a steamship container or an air container will be determined by the size of the shipment and its destination.
A lift-van ranges in size from 185 to 210 cubic feet. This wooden or plywood container with skids is normally loaded using a forklift. A lift-van is lined with water-resistant paper and caulked to prevent leakage. Steamship companies supply containers. Air containers range in size from five- to 100-cubic feet. Small shipments are packed in containers of triple-layer corrugated cardboard larger shipments by air are normally crated instead of boxed.
International Moving Cost
After making a thorough survey of your entire home, your moving estimator will determine shipping costs. It is important that the estimator see everything that you plan to move-including any items in the garage, basement or attic. The moving quote estimate you receive will detail the charges for packing and transporting your household goods.
