Customs Clearance will usually be confirmed within 2-3 days of your container arriving into port & assuming that all documentation is in order. We get 5 days free storage at the port after which demurrage and port storage charges can accrue. It is imperative therefore that our UK agent gets the ORIGINAL documents submitted as soon as the container arrives.

PETS

Before importing pets, an Import Licence should be obtained and quarantine arrangements made. This is a complicated procedure which we would be pleased to carry out on your behalf. The animal must be consigned as manifested freight to one of the approved ports of entry and moved from the Port or Airport by the Irish Transport Authority.

PLANTS

Plants must be accompanied by a Phythosanitary or Health Certificate issued at origin.

The Best Overseas Moving Companies:

There are many overseas moving companies who claim to be the best mover and best relocation company in the country. Of course this cannot be true because then, all the international shipping companies would be the best.

To help determine which overseas moving company is right for you, Orbit International Moving Logistics Ltd has gathered some vital points for you to consider.

  1. The best tip – a recommendation from a friend.
  2. Research the overseas moving companies you are considering. Check if they are licensed to export and import.
  3. Make sure that you are performing an equal comparison between the quotes of the various companies. You compare international relocation rates from the overseas moving companies based on shipping an equal volume of goods and contracting the same exact shipping service on the same dates. Pay special attention to the “EXCLUDES” of each quote to insure that you are not overlooking any hidden fees.
  4. Check the overseas moving company’s referrals and reputation. Ask each company for testimonials from past clients. A reputable overseas moving company should have some for you to review.
  5. Visit the physical office of the overseas moving company you are considering. Never trust an international moving company without a physical address!. In this day and age anyone can have an office in their basement.
  6. Make sure that the overseas shipping company you choose has reputable overseas forwarding agents who can assist you in the same manner that you are getting from the company moving you from Canada.
