Overseas Moving From Orlando To Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico, Spanish for rich port, is a tropical archipelago and territory of the United States. As a territory, Puerto Rico has non-voting representation in Congress, with no voting rights for either Congressional representation or President of the United States.
Voting rights aside, Puerto Rico’s status does have some benefits. Puerto Rico residents do not have to pay federal income tax, which is very appealing for remote workers, in particular, who can do their work anywhere. As a bonus, if you purchase a home on the island, you will not have to pay property taxes as those are not collected in the area.
Orlando is a city in central Florida known for its theme parks, especially Walt Disney World. Orlando is also home to the University of Central Florida, which is the second-largest university in the United States.

Here’s what else you need to know about moving to Puerto Rico from Orlando:
What Does It Cost?
Shipping a 20 ft container (half container) to Puerto Rico can cost as little as $3700, and a full container can be shipped for just a couple hundred more. You can ship from one of several ports in Florida, including ports in Orlando and Jacksonville. Working with an overseas moving company will ensure that you get door-to-door service no matter which port you choose.
Shipping your vehicle between locations may be cheaper than you would expect. Most Puerto Rico movers can ship a vehicle to Puerto Rico for less than $3,500. Air transport is a much more expensive option for moving your vehicle or household goods and is generally reserved for antiques or rare vehicles.
Shifting Household Goods To The Area
If you are moving internationally from the U.S. to the area using one of the Puerto Rico moving companies, you will not need to pay customs duty or taxes. Shipping to Puerto Rico from any state in the U.S. works the same as shipping from one state to the next. You won’t even have to worry about customs clearance.
Sounds perfect, right? Well, almost. There is some paperwork involved. Shipments valued at over $2,500 are subject to an additional requirement when they are shipped to Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. The U.S. Census Bureau requires an Electronic Export Information filing for all such shipments unless they have been exempted by the federal government, which can be handled online through the Automated Export System (AES).
With your shipment, you will need a standard bill of lading and commercial invoice with a description and valuation of your goods. Puerto Rico does prohibit the import of certain items, such as explosives, narcotics, and plants. You are also not permitted to bring livestock, endangered animals, or lottery tickets. Restricted items include medications, alcohol, or firearms, for which there may be limited exceptions. Contact your local customs officials to advise on your situation.
