The thought of using international freight shipping might seem a little daunting considering the longer delivery time, the considerable cost involved with moving anything that far, and the extra forms involved, but using international freight to ship your home or office furniture is a great way to carry your life with you, even to the other side of the world.
The first step to take after you've decided that international freight is the best way to go about shipping your things is to decide on the company you'll be using. There's a long list of them, including Fed Ex and UPS, and all with different restrictions and requirements so it's best to spend some time checking around before you commit to one.
Another consideration is how the things you need shipped are best packed up (containers, pallets, boxes), and how best to get them where the need to be (air travel or ocean). There are pros and cons to every combination of these things, but a little research should tell you what your best option is likely to be. Ways of shipping, cost, and time frames are all subject to change based on several different factors, such as whether you've moving a few boxes of residential things or several containers of office furniture.
Once you know who you'll be working with and how you'll be packing/shipping things, look into the forms you'll need to fill out to avoid any potential legal snarls. These usually include things like the total weight of the items being shipped, a packing list, a certificate of origin, a commercial invoice, and any export information required.
