Household goods include the furniture, personal belongings and valued items that make a home. As an international shipping company focused on relocations, we move appliances, kitchenware, clothing, books, decor, personal effects, antiques and fine art alongside your furniture. Commercial cargo is outside this service, keeping the shipment centered on personal and household effects for Greek customs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to move from the USA to Greece?
Cost varies with shipment size, US origin, destination in Greece and whether you choose sea or air. We price your actual shipment rather than rely on a generic figure. Ask for a free international moving quote and we will break the estimate down by option.
What is the transit time for shipping from the USA to Greece?
Transit time depends on the shipping method and your destination in Greece. Air freight is generally quicker than sea freight, and your coordinator provides a route-specific window when you book rather than a one-size estimate.
Can I bring my household goods into Greece with tax relief?
Often, yes. People transferring their normal residence to Greece can usually import used personal belongings with relief from duty and tax, subject to conditions. We prepare your inventory and documents to match the rules.
What do I need to claim the relief?
You generally need a relocation certificate and proof that you are moving your normal residence to Greece, along with a signed inventory. We help you assemble the file before your goods arrive.
Can you ship my car to Greece?
Yes. Vehicles can travel with your household goods, and our international car shipping services prepare the paperwork Greek customs and registration require. We confirm your vehicle qualifies before it ships.

We collect nationwide and act as international movers in New York, plus Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and beyond, arranging sea or air for each move to Greece.
