Moving Abroad Process

An international move involves several stages — from pre-departure consultation to packing, shipping, customs, and delivery.

  • STEP 1
Consultation & Quotation

Our moving consultant will visit your home to check the shipment volume and provide a detailed explanation of the moving process, estimated costs, and schedule.

After packing, all goods are safely transported to the designated container yard (CY).
Each shipment is checked before and after transport and securely stored until loading.

Export Customs & Ocean Freight

At the container yard, shipments are loaded into export containers and cleared for export.
A Bill of Lading (B/L) is issued to the customer, and the ocean shipment is tracked throughout transit.
