Tips for a Successful International Move
Moving abroad can be a daunting move to make. Three Movers would like to share some hauling tips to help your move go smoothly.
- Apply for your visa well in advance of the move. It can take several weeks or more for a visa application to be approved.
- Gather important documents including birth certificates, social security cards, drivers licensed, insurance, and other vital documents. Make copies of each document and keep them on hand for authorities during the move.
- Take time to research international relocating companies and be sure to check the services that each company offers. Our company manages international shifting services, and we offer the best rates in the industry for top quality service.
- Start planning the move at least three months in advance. This will allow for time to get everything carefully planned.
- Declutter your home. Now is the ideal time to start tossing unwanted items around the house. Host a hauling sale, donate to charity, gift items to friends, or call for junk removal services. The less that needs packed, the less the cost may be for moving services.

How Cost is Calculated for Move
It is important to understand how cost is calculated for a move. Here are some of the things that factor into an international move:
Moving Services
The services that you need for your move will help determine the cost. Full service that includes packing, fragile item care, packing supplied, custom boxing, or other special services may cost more than basic services where the company loads everything, or where you bring it to the port on your own.
Pickup/Delivery Service
Door to door services are very convenient, especially during an international move. They will however cost more than port to port service. With door to door, the company will load everything at the home of origin and will deliver to the new home. With port-to-port service, you will be responsible for port delivery at the port of origin and delivery to the new home.
Distance
The distance from the current location to the destination country will factor into the cost of moving.
Container Size
Container shipping is the preferred way to go when hauling overseas. Containers come in assorted sizes but usually the 20-foot and 40-foot container is used for international shipping. Air freight is also available but be prepared for a higher shipping rate for air service than ocean freight services.
Moving Insurance
Most shipping companies include insurance in the quote, but there are some that charge extra for the insurance. It is wise to check to make sure you have ample maritime insurance to cover your property during the move.
Customs Duty Fees and Taxes
When importing goods to Spain, or other countries outside the United States, you will need to pay customs duty fees and taxes for the goods you import. These fees are usually based on the value of the goods being imported.
Other costs that should be considered include visa fees, rental rates for a house, utility fees, and storage unit fees if storage is necessary.
