Introduction to Our International Moving Packages

An international moving package goes far beyond simply packing boxes and shipping them abroad. It is a complete service that covers preparation, transport, delivery, and post-arrival setup.

At moveforce, we handle every detail to ensure a smooth, efficient relocation. Our team offers expert planning, clear communication, and hands-on support throughout.

We manage both moves in Portugal and global relocations with the same high standards. With us, your move is handled with precision, care, and professionalism.

Packing and Preparation Services: What's Included

Professional packing is the backbone of any successful international move. It involves much more than simply placing items into boxes. The goal is to ensure everything is properly protected and arrives safely, no matter how far the journey.
Included in your international moving package:

  • Pre-Move Survey: A detailed evaluation of your home to assess your needs and volume;
  • High-Quality Packing Materials: We use durable, export-grade supplies, including packing material designed to protect your belongings in transit;
  • Custom Packing: We handle everything from fragile items to large furniture and electronics with care and technique;
  • Disassembly Services: Large or complex items, such as beds or bookshelves, are carefully disassembled for safe transport;
  • Item Labeling and Inventory: Each item is tagged and logged for tracking, insurance, and customs compliance.

 

We ensure everything is prepared professionally, leaving nothing to chance.

Transportation and Shipping: How We Handle Your Belongings

Once everything is packed and prepared, we move to the next big step: transportation. Your international moving package with moveforce includes full coordination of shipping logistics, both locally and abroad.

Here’s what’s covered:

  • Door-To-Door Service: We collect from your current location and deliver straight to your new home abroad;
  • Transport By Air Or Sea: Depending on your needs, we’ll recommend the fastest or most cost-effective solution. Air freight is ideal for urgent shipments, while sea freight is more economical for larger volumes;
  • Trusted Global Partners: We work with a vetted international network to ensure consistent quality of service;
  • Real-Time Updates: We keep you informed, so you’ll know how long it takes for your belongings to arrive, based on your chosen route and destination.

 

Need more than household goods moved? We also assist with the transport of vehicles, ensuring your car or motorcycle arrives safely and legally.

Customs Clearance and Documentation: A Hassle-Free Process

Moving internationally means dealing with paperwork, inspections, and other customs procedures. With moveforce, these services are included in your international moving package:

  • Documentation Support: From customs forms to permits, we ensure everything is submitted correctly;
  • Clear Communication With Customs: We work directly with authorities to speed up clearance;
  • Destination Compliance: Especially useful for international relocations, when you need to know local regulations.

 

Whether it’s a corporate move or family relocation, we’ve got the legal side covered.

Insurance and Protection: Ensuring the Safety of Your Items

Even with professional handling, international transport carries some risk. That’s why we offer protection as part of your international moving package.

We offer:

  • Comprehensive Insurance: Coverage against loss, damage, or delay;
  • High-Value Item Protection: Special policies for expensive or irreplaceable belongings;
  • Claims Assistance: If anything happens, we guide you through the process quickly.

 

True peace of mind comes not only from careful planning and expert handling but also from knowing your belongings are fully protected every step of the way.

Delivery and Unpacking Services: The Final Step in Your Move

Your belongings are delivered, but we don’t stop there. We help you settle into your new space with care and efficiency.

What’s included:

  • Flexible delivery scheduling;
  • Unpacking and debris removal;
