Moving abroad comes with unique challenges, and packing for an international move is one of the most critical. Standard home packing methods are often insufficient for overseas relocation. That’s why export packing services exist — and why Advance Moves connects you with professional movers who provide them.
Whether you’re relocating to Europe, the USA, Asia, or anywhere else in the world, proper packing can make or break your move.
📦 What is Export Packing?
Export packing is a specialised service provided by professional removal companies to ensure that your belongings:
- Are protected during long-distance transport (sea, air, or road).
- Comply with customs regulations in the destination country.
- Are insurance-friendly in case of damage or loss.
- Can survive handling and loading at ports, airports, and depots.
Unlike standard packing, export packing uses strong crates, double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, and foam padding to secure every item. Fragile items and high-value possessions are given extra protection.
✈️ Why Standard Packing Isn’t Enough
Many people assume their usual packing methods will work for international moves. However:
- Boxes can be jostled during shipping.
- Customs inspections may require boxes to be opened and resealed.
- Long transit times increase the risk of damage.
- International insurance often only covers professionally packed items.
Professional export packing mitigates these risks, keeping your items safe from departure to arrival.
🛡️ What Export Packing Includes
Through the Advance Moves network, movers provide:
- Customs-ready packing lists and inventories for every shipment.
- Crates for fragile items like artwork, mirrors, and antiques.
- Secure wrapping and cushioning for electronics and delicate items.
- Export-grade materials that meet international shipping standards.
- Labelling and colour-coding to make unloading and unpacking simple.
This level of service is essential for international removals and ensures your items arrive intact and ready to use.
💷 Cost Considerations
Export packing can be more expensive than domestic packing due to:
- Higher-quality materials.
- Additional labour for handling and securing items.
- Preparation of inventories for customs.
- Insurance-compliant packing methods.
However, the cost is often less than replacing damaged belongings, especially fragile or high-value items.
⏱️ Save Time and Reduce Stress
Using professional export packing services saves you:
- Hours or days of meticulous packing.
- Stress worrying about fragile or valuable items.
- Complications with customs and shipping delays.
