New Orleans International Movers | FAQs
We recommend reaching out at least 8 to 12 weeks before your target move date. International moves require more lead time than domestic moves due to shipping schedules, customs documentation, and destination coordination. The earlier you start, the more options you have.
We offer ocean freight, air freight, and ground transport, often in combination. Ocean freight is the most economical option for large shipments, while air freight is faster and ideal for smaller or time-sensitive loads. Your move coordinator will help you choose the best option based on your budget and timeline.
Every destination country has its own import regulations. Maloney Moving & Storage will guide you through the required documentation and help ensure your shipment is compliant before it departs. While we handle the coordination, some countries require the owner to present identification or sign customs declarations in person.
That's what our storage services are for. We can hold your belongings in secure, climate-controlled storage at origin or, in some cases, at destination, until you're ready for delivery. This is a common part of international moves, and we plan for it.
Your belongings can be covered with full replacement value protection. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive coverage for international shipments, and we'll walk you through your options during the planning process.
Prohibited items vary by destination country but typically include hazardous materials, perishable foods, plants, certain medications, and items restricted by the destination nation's import laws. Your move coordinator will provide a full list of restricted items for your specific destination during the planning phase.
