Getting an estimate:
The first step in international removal is to have an estimator visit your home to make a complete evaluation of your goods. There is no charge for this survey. The estimator will examine each room in order to determine the total volume of items and the shipping method best suited to your particular needs and will provide you with a written estimate of approximate costs to ship. You will need to inform the estimator of what kind of service you will need. Take this chance to ask any questions that you may have about your international move.
Packing:
Leave packing of your items to professional packers because distant shipping is always associated with an increased risk. You can do self-packing of items which are not very sensitive for damage (clothing, shoes, bedding, etc.).
The following documents will be necessary to expedite clearance through customs:
- Copy of passport;
- Valued list of items (Proforma-invoice);
- Inventory;
- Removal order for antiques and works of art issued by Ministry of Culture of Lithuania.
You may need and other documents abroad, depending on which country you are importing items. This information should be supplied by your shipper.
Possible schemes of international removals:
