Things To Remember

  • Contact the moving company three or four days before you need to have everything packaged, to make sure there are no problems in the process.
  • The cost of shipped freight is determined not by weight but by size, while the cost of air freight is calculated by weight instead of size.
  • Farm products and most foods are highly regulated, and require special attention if you are going to avoid penalties from the customs authorities in the locale you are moving to.
