 Professional Advice

Because of your attachment to your belongings, not only do you need a ‘Packing and loading’ specialist, but you also need an expert in logistics who is well acquainted with the exportation and importation of personal effects.
This will give you the reassurance that your consignment is in the expert hands of a mover and not a forwarding agent. It is unacceptable that your furniture and your personal effects be treated like ordinary merchandise!

Thorough preparation is essential to the success of an international move. AGS Four Winds will remind you of essential questions to ask:

  • What will I take? We will ask you to select the items you really wish to take along.
  • Will I need storage? Keep in mind the size of you new home. Where necessary, we can arrange secure storage for your belongings.
  • Is the voltage of your electrical appliances compatible to that of your destination country? Different countries have different voltage systems. In certain instances you may not be able to take ANY electrical items with you.
  • Should I concern myself with import taxes and entitlements? Each country has different requirements pertaining to Import Taxes and Entitlements of household and personal effects.
  • Can I take my firearm? As with the Taxes and Entitlements each country has varying regulations governing the importation of hazardous goods and / or foodstuffs.
  • Can I take wine? As with the importation of firearms, wine falls into the ‘sensitive goods’ category and may either attract duties or taxes or be refused importation into certain countries.
