Our 5-Step Seamless International Relocation Roadmap

ARL Logistics manages international moves with absolute step-by-step compliance, ensuring your shipment transitions smoothly through ports and borders:

Step 1: Customs Compliance Consultation & Survey

Our global move specialist audits your item list and prepares country-specific customs checklists. We verify visas, work permits, and transfer of residence certificates to secure tax-free import exemptions.

Step 2: International Export-Grade Packing

Our team wraps every item in multi-layered export-grade packing materials. Furniture is placed in double-thick corrugated sheets, and fragile glass is secured inside custom-built wooden crates to withstand weeks of sea transit.

Step 3: Port Documentation & Customs Clearance

We manage the comprehensive export clearance paperwork at Indian ports, handle physical custom examinations, verify container seal protocols, and obtain the Bill of Lading from shipping lines.

Step 4: Ocean Freight & Marine Insurance Cover

The locked shipping container is loaded onto global shipping vessels. We back your shipment with comprehensive marine insurance policies to protect against marine moisture, handling stress, or transit delays.

Step 5: Destination Port Clearance & Door Delivery

At the destination port, our network partner manages import customs clearance, unloads the shipping container, transports the goods to your new home, unpacks all boxes, and reassembles modular furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

For most countries, to import used household items duty-free, you must present a valid passport, an employment visa/work permit valid for at least 12 months, a detailed packing list written in English, and a signed customs declaration form.
The transit timeline for sea containers varies by port. Typically, ocean shipments from India to the UK/Europe take 30 to 40 days, while shipping to the East Coast of the US takes 35 to 45 days. West Coast shipments take 45 to 55 days, subject to port conditions.
FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire 20ft or 40ft container solely for your household goods. LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidates your packed liftvans into a shared container with other shipments, offering a highly cost-effective option for smaller loads.
