Sea Freight or Air Freight?
Most international household moves use either sea freight or air freight. The best option depends on your shipment size, destination, budget, and how quickly you need your belongings.
Sea Freight
Sea freight is commonly used for larger household moves and full relocations.
Depending on the volume, your belongings may travel in a dedicated container or as part of a shared shipment. Sea freight is generally more economical for larger shipments, although transit times are longer.
Air Freight
Air freight is faster and can work well for smaller shipments or belongings you need soon after arrival.
Some customers use both options, sending the main household shipment by sea and a smaller priority shipment by air.
Your move coordinator can recommend the most suitable option based on your volume, route and schedule.
How Does an International Move Work?
ReloSmart coordinates each stage of your international relocation so the process stays organized from the first survey through to final delivery.
- Pre-move survey: We review your shipment, origin, destination, property access and preferred timing to determine the expected volume and requirements.
- Moving plan and quote: We prepare a quotation based on the agreed scope, transport method and services required.
- Packing and inventory: Our team professionally packs your belongings and prepares a detailed shipment inventory, with extra protection or custom crating where needed.
- International transport: Your shipment travels by sea or air according to the agreed moving plan, while your ReloSmart coordinator manages communication throughout the relocation.
- Customs clearance: Our team coordinates the required customs documentation and clearance procedures.
- Delivery and unpacking: After clearance, your belongings are delivered to the final address, with unpacking available where required.
Customs and Documentation for International Moves
Customs requirements vary depending on the direction of the move, your residency status, the shipment contents, and the destination country.
International household moves may require documents such as:
- Passport copies
- Visa or residency documents
- Detailed shipment inventory
- Customs forms
- Shipping documents
- Additional documentation required for the destination
Requirements can change, so the necessary documents should always be confirmed for your specific route before the shipment departs.

Professional Packing for International Moves
International shipments usually pass through more handling stages than domestic moves, which makes professional packing especially important.
Our packing services can include:
- Export-grade packing
- Furniture protection
- Fragile-item packing
- Artwork and mirror protection
- Electronics preparation
- Custom wooden crating
- Carton labelling
- Unpacking at destination
The packing approach depends on the belongings being moved and the type of international transport required.
International Moving and Storage
Storage can help when your move-out date, shipment schedule and new-home availability do not line up.
ReloSmart can coordinate storage services as part of your international relocation, either before departure or after arrival.
Storage may be useful when:
- Your new home is not ready
- You are travelling before settling in
- You only need part of the shipment immediately
- Your shipment arrives before your preferred delivery date
