International Moving to China

Moving to China from USA

As the country with the largest population in the world, China has always been a popular destination to move to. The government estimates that there are currently over 600,000 expats in China today, and that number grows by the day. With economic opportunities and the prospect of a rich new cultural experience, there is no wonder why so many people are moving to China from the USA.

Our job as a full service international mover is to help make every part of your move go as smoothly as possible.

How to Move to China from the USA

Estimate the Volume of  Goods

When moving to China, the best place to begin is to calculate the amount you are shipping. With an estimate size, we can better prepare you with the info you need for a successful move.

Use our Moving Calculator to create an estimate for the volume of your goods. For people who don’t know their move size yet, we also have preset volumes to quote on from 10 boxes all the way to a 4+ bedroom home.

Get Your Cost to Move to China

The cost to move to China depends on many different factors. Details like volume, origin, destination city, and service type all affect the price. An example is moving from LA to China will have a different price than NY to China. This is the case even if all other factors are the same. For this reason, our representatives create custom quotes specific to each move.

Ship the Goods to China from the US

Once you finalize a booking with your representative, we will begin your shipment. Using our full service moves, we come to your home then pack and wrap the goods we are moving. We then take the goods to our nearest warehouse and prepare it for shipping in a container. As soon as the container is ready to ship, it will load into the vessel and begin sailing. You will then receive the Bill of Lading and an estimate for when the goods will enter.

Receive the Goods at Your Home Overseas

As your goods enter China, they will undergo customs clearance. When your goods clear, they will be unloaded and prepared to move to your home. You will receive a call to schedule the delivery and book the best available time. Your goods are then taken and delivered to you where you need. All that’s left is to enjoy your goods and the completion of your move to China.
