First Things First

Schedule a Consultation and Survey

Once you have determined which items you will move, contact us to schedule a consultation and survey with one of our experienced international relocation consultants. Your relocation consultant will visit your home to explain the different services available, answer any questions you have about moving internationally, perform a survey of everything to be moved and provide you with an estimate.

Documentation

Documentation is a critical part of the international relocation process. Delaying timely completion of required paperwork may delay your shipment. Your relocation coordinator will guide you through the process of identifying and completing the appropriate paperwork for your home and host countries.

Safety Considerations

While travel throughout most of the world is considered safe, we recommend that you check with both the U.S. Department of State for current travel advisories.
