International Moving Services in Marin County

Moving to another country involves more complexity than any other type of relocation. A and P Moving understands the significant challenges and documentation requirements that come with international moves from Marin County. As a trusted agent for Bekins Van Lines, we provide comprehensive international moving services that handle every aspect of your overseas relocation.

Our team has over three decades of experience managing international relocations for families and businesses throughout Marin County, including Sausalito, Mill Valley, San Rafael, Novato, and surrounding communities. We work with global shipping partners and customs brokers to ensure your belongings arrive safely at their destination.

Protecting Your Items For The Long Journey

International moves require specialized packing and crating to protect your belongings during extended transportation. Our professional packing crews use reinforced materials and proven techniques to secure items for overseas shipping.

We provide custom wooden crates for valuable artwork, electronics, and fragile items. Our household packing services include wrapping each item individually and using shock-absorbing materials to prevent damage during the long journey across oceans.

Every shipment receives proper documentation and inventory tracking. We photograph high-value items before packing and maintain detailed records throughout the moving process. This documentation proves essential for customs clearance and insurance claims if needed.

Your belongings may spend weeks in transit containers, so moisture protection becomes critical. We use specialized wrapping materials and desiccants to prevent humidity damage during ocean transport.

Comprehensive Insurance Coverage

International moves require different insurance considerations than domestic relocations. We offer full replacement value coverage and work with maritime insurance providers to protect your belongings throughout the entire journey.

Our insurance specialists review your inventory and recommend appropriate coverage levels. We explain the differences between basic carrier liability and comprehensive protection, helping you make informed decisions about protecting your investment.

Helping To Make Moving Internationally As Easy As Possible

The paperwork requirements for international moves can overwhelm even organized families. Our team manages the complex documentation process, working with customs brokers and government agencies to ensure compliance with all regulations.

We provide detailed destination country information, including prohibited items lists, customs duties, and entry requirements. Each country maintains different rules about electronics, food products, medications, and personal effects. Our experience prevents costly delays and rejected shipments.

Our international coordinators handle:

• Customs declarations and duty calculations
• Origin and destination documentation
• Shipping manifests and inventory lists
• Coordination with overseas delivery agents

We coordinate timing with your visa processing, housing arrangements, and travel schedules. International moves require careful planning, often starting months before your departure date. Our project managers create detailed timelines that account for shipping schedules and customs processing times.

Destination Services

Our partnership with Bekins Van Lines provides access to trusted agents worldwide. We coordinate delivery services in your destination country, including customs clearance, temporary storage if needed, and final delivery to your new home.

Many international destinations require advance notice for delivery scheduling. We work with local agents to arrange convenient delivery times and any special access requirements for your new residence.

For corporate relocations, we provide specialized services including employee household relocations and coordinate with human resources departments to ensure smooth transitions.

Storage Solutions During Transit

International moves sometimes require temporary storage solutions. Our storage services provide secure facilities in Marin County for items you cannot ship immediately or need to keep accessible.

We also coordinate storage at destination ports when your new residence is not ready for immediate delivery. Our global network ensures your belongings remain secure throughout the entire process.
