Our international removals support people moving from Rome abroad, and those arriving in Italy, across Europe and the rest of the world. We take care of everything: packing for the journey, paperwork, customs where needed, transport by road, sea or air, and delivery to your new home.
Moving within Europe or outside the European Union
Within the European Union personal belongings move freely without customs: the removal is organised as a long-distance road transport, with predictable timings and costs to countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Belgium or the Netherlands.
Outside the European Union, for example to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the United States or Australia, you need customs documents, a detailed inventory of your belongings and compliance with the rules of the destination country, which may restrict certain items. We handle the customs documentation and tell you in advance what's required.
For overseas destinations we use dedicated shipping containers, while for small volumes or tight deadlines we consider air freight.
How an international removal works
- Survey and inventory of the belongings to be moved.
- Detailed quote covering transport, paperwork and insurance.
- Packing for the journey, with crates for fragile and valuable items.
- Paperwork and customs, when the destination is outside the EU.
- Transport by road, by sea in containers or by air.
- Delivery and assembly in your new home, through our partner network.
Throughout the journey your belongings are covered by all-risk insurance. If you need time between departure and arrival, your furniture can stay in our storage facility.
Tips for your move abroad
- Start planning two or three months in advance, especially for non-EU destinations.
- Check the rules of the destination country on food, plants, alcohol and special items.
- Prepare the personal documents required to import your belongings.
- Consider what to sell or leave in Italy: household appliances and large furniture aren't always worth shipping.
