Tips on Shipping your Pet in the Cargo Hold
The pets are of a major concern when you move to some other location outside the USA. Take into account two factors before moving to another country:
Firstly, will your pet be allowed in the destination country ? (not all pets are allowed in all the countries, you know !) If it is allowed, do you need to show them a health and/or rabies certificate from a veterinarian. Be sure to ask a consulate or an embassy of your destination country: how long any certificate is considered valid and if your pet also will need an entry permit.
Second is the cost. In most cases, you will be required to pay duty on your pet and pay for your pet to be quarantined, Be sure to ask a the Office of Customs Administration of your destination country depending on your destination county, your pet could be quarantined from a few weeks to a full year.
Make sure you do the following:
1. Get the pet's medical records from your vet
2. Provide your pet with a travel identification tag - in addition to his/her permanent identification collar - so your pet can be returned to you if found. Include in the tag, your pet's name; your name, destination address and telephone number; and an alternative contact person's name and telephone number.
3. Most importantly, schedule your trip to ensure your pet doesn't arrive at destination on a weekend or holiday when customs facilities are closed. Otherwise, your pet might be without food, water and other care for a long period.
4. To help speed up the clearance process for your pet, write to the port entry veterinarian advising him of your pet's arrival date, flight number and other required information.
Importing Automobile
You carry your car to some country paying the duties, taxes or whatever, only to find that the same model car is available at the destination place for a lesser price!! Wouldn¡¯t you hate such a position ? So make sure before leaving: if you have a same model car at the destination country available at a lesser price than the combined cost of the buy and transportation plus customs, then you are not going to transport it. Well horse sense isn¡¯t it?
Certain makes of automobiles might be prohibited. Models that are allowed, might require an entry permit and modifications to meet emission or safety standards. If you decide to take your car, check the availability of parts, unleaded or premium gasoline, and right-hand versus left-hand driving.
When shipping a car, nothing can be left in the interior or in the trunk, except normal accessories - such as a jack and a spare tyre. Customs also may permit transporting the vehicle's hubcaps, extra air filters and/or engine parts in the trunk. Be sure to check with customs officials in advance.
What to pack and not to pack for shipment.
When it is time to pack, our professionally trained staff will be sent to your location for packing. In order to minimize the time taken in packing, we advise you to clearly separate items to be packed for shipment from items to be left behind before our staff arrives for packing. Please pay special attention to small items, as it is time consuming to determine whether to pack them or not. Please instruct our staff on arrival what to pack and what not to. Items you need to take
Some items which are immediately needed, have to be carried by you or by any other means, which makes their availability immediate when you reach the destination. ( items such as clothing, bedding, medications,valuables, work materials etc). Other items you might want to take include the following
