In most countries, your used household goods and personal effects can often enter duty-free. It's important to remember that any duties or taxes levied against your shipment are in addition to our charges. In most cases, you can settle your customs charges with your overseas agent. However, there are times when you'll be required to deal directly with the Customs office. If that's the case, be sure to obtain an official receipt and keep it, as some duties are refundable when you leave the country.
SHIPMENT TRACKING
If you want to know where your shipment is, we are able to pinpoint it within 1,000 feet via tracking and two-way communication between our driver, headquarters and agency personnel throughout North America. We have the resources and the experience to develop a shipping solution that works for you. With state-of-the-art product tracking technology, we know where your shipment is every step of the way.
