International
Moving abroad: where to start?
An international move needs to be prepared earlier than a move within Belgium. Here is what to sort out first.
Choosing the transport option
Dedicated transport: one truck and one crew just for you, with fixed departure and arrival dates. Ideal for a whole house or a tight schedule.
Groupage: your belongings share the truck with other shipments to the same destination. More economical for a small volume, with more flexible dates.
Preparing the formalities
Within the European Union, your personal belongings move without customs formalities. For countries outside the EU, such as the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a detailed inventory and customs documents are required. We tell you which documents to prepare for your destination.
The right timeline
- Three months before: visit and quote.
- Two months before: confirmation and booking of the date, especially in summer.
- One month before: sorting, packing and paperwork (bank, insurance, school, providers).
- When leaving: notify your municipality that you are moving abroad.
Insurance
Basic cover is set out in the quote. For an international move, all-risks insurance is available as an option and strongly recommended for valuable items.
