Planning your move
The important decision regarding which items you choose to ship abroad should be made with the consideration of certain factors:
The choice is easier if you have already purchased or rented residence overseas. If one knows the approximate size of the rooms and has a floor plan, you will be able to easily determine just how smartly your furniture and appliances will fit.
Our expert advise in this case, would be to have you make certain that the delivery into your residences will not cause any insurmountable problems due to, for example, a piano, oversized entertainment center, or furniture. You should consider hallway and stairway dimensions, elevators/lifts may sometimes be too small to transport some large items.
The decision as to what to ship can often be more difficult for those individuals who do not have definite housing arrangement already made. Make sure the articles selected are not only desirable for your new home, but also worthwhile to ship. Everyone should know their rights with respect to customs regulation. Laws are often subject to change. Information may be obtained from the Consulate's Office, but bare in mind that International Movers representatives are very knowledgeable regarding rights and customs information.
