If you are moving on a temporary posting, Allied Pickfords can provide secure long term storage in your origin country for those household items that are not required in your new location. In addition we can provide secure storage facilities in your destination country should that be required whilst you source appropriate accommodation. Since every country has it's own laws and customs, it's a good idea to study the etiquette and customs of your destination country beforehand. This should assist you in avoiding any inadvertent problems after you have arrived in your new country. The embassy or consulate of your country of destination is a good starting point for this information.
Many countries apply stringent rules as to the acceptability of some items being imported.
Indeed some items which may be common place in your country of origin could be prohibited in your country of destination. Most countries apply restrictions to firearms, alcohol, drugs and often political or pornographic literature is totally prohibited. In other instances some items can attract Duty or Tax liabilities and in order to avoid any problems at the time of clearance of your goods you should make enquiries with the embassy or consulate of your country of destination to ascertain their advice. We can also assist in this regard and our removals consultant would be happy to discuss this with you in advance of your move. Additionally you should be mindful that due to differing voltage requirements, and broadcasting frequencies, some of your current electrical items may not be suitable for use in your new country.
