International Moving – Now
for International Moving
International or Local Mover ?
• International moving is about packing into boxes, to be unloaded and reloaded truck, cargo, sea and customs handling.
• Local moving is about quickly packing into the moving van and unloading that same van by that same crew. No because, reloading at each transfer needs the same fit to avoid handling surcharges or worse damaging the boxes.
• International moving needs content documentation, with detail descriptions for customs and insurance to process the import in a timely manner.
• Local moving numbers items to confirm quantity of items to deliver. No because customs or insurance care about the actual contents.
• International moving coordinates transport between land, sea and air shipment as well as in and out of customs. Unexpected breakdown between these can add thousands of dollars of daily demurage charges.
• Local moving trucks may get delayed however surprise extra charges will be minor if any.
• International moving usually work in multiple languages, plus both the requirements of the Government of Canada on export and the destination country for import. For example, including a simple bottle of Asprin, even accidentally, results in import penalties in one country.
• Local moving needs to deal with the Government of Canada regulations regarding the movement of possessions and may have to provide both French and English interaction.
IN 1997, Bekins Worldwide was created as a separate business with staff dedicated ONLY to international moving. Our clients avoid the surprise extra costs that those distracted by the different nature of local moving unknowingly or accidentally make.
