An inspection can add a little time to delivery and extra charges. The forwarder will do its best to expedite the customs clearance process, but many times things occur with customs that are completely out of the control of the forwarder and the transferee. It is usually advisable to ensure the employee's household goods are protected by full-value replacement insurance. Most forwarders should offer this. Compare premium costs and deductibles.
Some limits do apply to coverage.
Ask the forwarder or insurance carrier about these. Pre-move packets include country information, appliance services, storage facilities, handyman service, cleaning team, installing or removing satellite dishes, full relocation management such as real estate assistance, temporary housing, spouse employment assistance, school finding, destination area orientation, pick up at airport, other types of settling in services, language training, etc. Many of these services are accessible through affiliations with such providers. It is important that these don't get packed in the shipment. The employee should carry all important documents with him or her.
