Of course, for complete safety of transportation, we pack your things in special boxes made of five-layer strong cardboard. Then we put them on pallets and additionally wrap them with layers of stretch film. To ensure that your personal belongings are not lost during transportation, each box is marked before shipping. Before sending, a complete list of the items being transported is made and must be agreed with the customs authorities in the country of departure and receipt in order to avoid problems during clearance.
Also, in order to reduce the cost of transporting household items, we will carry it out as part of a groupage cargo (if the volume of the consignment allows). When consolidating groupage cargoes, one vehicle is used, in which we combine several cargoes of different customers.

Can you arrange customs clearance documents?
Yes, we offer customs clearance services for the goods we transport.
I want to send cargo without documents
Just as it is impossible to fly on an airplane without presenting a passport / visa, it is impossible to ship the cargo without documents. In the international transportation of any cargo, personal belongings or commercial cargo, its movement falls under the customs control of the countries of the sender and recipient.
Is it possible to send personal items abroad without a detailed list?
Unfortunately, it is impossible - personal belongings, like any goods transported across state borders, fall under customs control, and therefore a complete list of the transported goods must be drawn up for its submission to the customs authorities and for the correct execution of customs procedures.
How to mark the cargo?
The main inscriptions on the packages must contain:
Full or abbreviated name of the consignee and consignor;
Sender and recipient address;
The number of packages in the shipment and the serial number of the package within the shipment;
Manipulative signs are also indicated, for example: Fragile, Up, etc.

How to pack the goods correctly?
Proper packaging protects the contents of the shipment from everyday hazards and ensures that the goods being transported do not damage other goods during transit.
Packaging must be sufficient to protect your item during transit.
Using the most common measures, you can avoid time and labor costs, as well as financial losses.
Use shock-resistant materials that will not allow the load to move freely during transportation.
Each fragile or vulnerable item must be wrapped separately.
Packages must be securely sealed with adhesive tape intended for gluing transported goods.
Boxes must be on the pad and secured.
Cabinet furniture (chest of drawers, wardrobes, beds) must be disassembled in detail and properly packed in a separate package filled with packaging material.
Larger shipments (equipment, etc.) must be secured with a supporting frame structure, which must be filled with protective packaging material (styrofoam, etc.).
