• A certificate of residence established at the local town hall in the commune where he is going to take residence.

• Shipper has to provide ownership for six months (invoices) and is allowed to import a few bottles (approx. 100 ltrs). Taxes – duties must be paid depending on alcoholic degree.

VEHICLES
The original title is needed to import vehicles duty free. Failing to provide these documents will result in duties and taxes which are calculated on the value of the car being applied.

These charges can either be paid cash on customs clearance or to be paid by employer after confirmation of them or also by the agent if they confirm they accept those charges. Then we advance the bond on our side.

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.
