Import requirements differ from country to country – even for the same commodity. This is especially so if you’re moving overseas. Some countries have very strict rules on specific personal items and vehicles.

Make sure to check with your freight forwarder or your agent at destination if there are any special requirements you need to know about at destination. This could be special licenses for your cargo, extra documents.

In the case of an international move, there may even requirements stating that only citizens or diplomats are allowed to move there and needing to have been out of the country for a certain period of time before being allowed to move back home.
