When household furniture is being moved overseas it is very important that care is taken to fully export wrap all furniture for .

There are many international removals and shipping companies to choose from but make sure that the company you chose is a BAR or Guild member if you are shipping from the UK to Australia, Canada, Dubai, New Zealand.

Currently the most popular shipping destinations are Australia and Dubai for most people relocating from the UK.

You will also need to provide a copy of your passport and work visa for Australia and Canada. A full shipping inventory will also be required for to all non European member states.

When shipping goods I advise only take what you will use, a lot of people find it a great time to have a clear out or sell unwanted goods. This will also save you money on your international shipping bill

Don't forget when shipping to an international destination to arrange a forward address for your mail and notify all bank and utility companies of your new address.
