Relocating to a new country? Whether for work, education, or personal reasons, shipping your household items internationally requires careful coordination and a trusted logistics partner. At Best Care Movers (BCM), we simplify the process of shipping personal belongings across borders with expert planning, secure packing, and global shipping solutions—delivered with peace of mind.
Personal belongings include non-commercial, used household items that are typically exempt from high import duties in many countries. Common examples include:
👚 Clothing & Footwear – Everyday wear, accessories, seasonal items
🛋 Furniture & Appliances – Sofas, beds, kitchenware, electronics
📚 Books & Documents – Personal libraries, records, albums
🎮 Gadgets & Devices – Laptops, consoles, phones, cameras
🚴♂️ Sports & Hobby Gear – Bicycles, musical instruments, collectibles
Each country has specific customs policies. Some may offer duty-free entry for personal effects, while others have restrictions.
Check for:
✅ Tax exemptions on used goods
🚫 Prohibited/restricted items (alcohol, firearms, perishables)
🧾 Documentation such as packing lists, visa, or proof of residency
Your shipping method depends on budget, volume, and urgency:
Air Freight – Fast but costly; ideal for small, time-sensitive shipments
Sea Freight (FCL/LCL) – Cost-efficient for larger household moves
Road Freight – Suitable for regional shipping across nearby countries
Proper packing ensures your belongings remain intact. BCM uses premium packaging materials and offers professional packing services for optimal protection.
Tips:
Use bubble wrap, reinforced boxes, and foam for breakables
Label all boxes and mark fragile items
Create a detailed inventory list for customs and insurance
BCM helps you avoid delays and penalties by managing all customs paperwork:
