Not all furniture is worth relocating internationally. Assess what to bring based on cost, condition, space at the destination, and replacement availability.
Sell – Online platforms or local resale stores
Donate – Give to local charities or friends

Keep only the furniture that’s valuable, sentimental, or hard to replace.
Certain furniture and valuables need extra care during international moves. BCM offers:
Custom crating for antiques, pianos, or artwork
Specialized padding and protective wrapping
Lifting and moving equipment for heavy or delicate items
Tip: Check your destination’s rules regarding the import of antiques or restricted furniture items. BCM handles customs paperwork on your behalf.
Even with professional handling, international transport involves risks. BCM offers multiple insurance plans to protect your belongings:
Basic Coverage – Based on total shipment volume
Declared Value Coverage – Based on item worth
Comprehensive Coverage – For high-value or fragile items
Always review insurance terms carefully and consider upgrading for added protection.
