Relocation Considerations & Steps
Declutter: Before shipping, consider what you really need. The cost of international shipping can be high, so it's often worth to sort through your belongings & consider selling, donating, or disposing of items that you no longer use or need
Decide What to Ship
1
Import Regulations: Each country has specific rules about what can and cannot be imported. Check customs regulations for your destination country to avoid issues. Some items may require special permits, or be subject to duties and taxes.

Air Freight: Fastest but most expensive. Best for smaller quantities or if you need items quickly.
Sea Freight (Full or Partial Container Shipping): Larger shipments, though it takes longer (typically 4-12 weeks).

Shipping Insurance: Insure your belongings in case of loss or damage during transit. Companies offer basic insurance or additional coverage for high-value items. Ensure the declared value matches the true replacement cost of your items.
