INTERNATIONAL MOVING

International moving services: from your home in China to your new home overseas

When choosing an international moving company, what users care about most is usually not just 'door-to-door' — it's how costs are calculated, how the process works, who handles customs clearance, how items are protected, and whether someone will deliver at the destination. ReloSmart breaks down in-home survey, export-grade packing, sea/air freight, customs clearance coordination, overseas delivery, and unpacking/repositioning into verifiable service checkpoints.

Available relocation plans

Matching different relocation plans based on family, belongings, and work arrangements

Based on client type, volume, budget, and timeline, the consultant combines packing, shipping, storage, and destination delivery services.

Process transparency reduces anxiety. When clients know what happens next, they're more likely to cooperate in preparing documents, scheduling, and controlling budgets.

Volume assessment

Online photo or in-home survey to determine volume and service scope.

3

4

International shipping

5

6

Pre-move assessment

A professional relocation plan should clarify responsibility boundaries before packing

A mature international relocation service won't just give a single total price. The consultant needs to first confirm shipment volume, residential conditions, shipping plan, customs clearance documents, and destination delivery requirements before producing an actionable scope of services.

01

Goods & Volume Assessment

Confirm furniture, cartons, fragile items and special items through an on-site assessment, video or photos, then estimate transport volume and packing needs. Delivery: Volume Estimation & Special Item Recording

02

Transport plan recommendation

Based on volume, budget, time requirements, and destination, compare options for ocean shared container, full container, air freight, and combined storage. Delivery: transport method and estimated time frame

03

Service Scope Confirmation

Confirm whether the quote includes disassembly/assembly, packing, customs clearance coordination, destination delivery, unpacking and repositioning, floor access, and suburban delivery. Delivery: Inclusions, Options & Potential Add-ons

04

Document Preparation Checklist

Confirm identity, visa or residence information, inventory list, address, and special item descriptions based on destination requirements. Delivery: document checklist and preparation timeline

Service chain

From your doorstep to your overseas address, key milestones must not be interrupted

International moving may look like transport, but it is actually multi-team coordination. Customers need to know who is responsible for each step, what output to expect, and how communication works when delays or inspections occur.
