Across the Atlantic
Your USA to Ireland Move, Handled Start to Finish
Moving to Ireland brings plenty to organize, so the shipping process should be one of the easier parts. We have guided overseas household relocations since 1948. As a full-service overseas moving company, we coordinate origin packing across the USA, export documentation, ocean or air transport, Irish clearance, and inside delivery from one plan.
From a Boston walk-up to a full household bound for Galway, our door-to-door international movers handle furniture, appliances, personal effects, vehicles, antiques, and fine art with consistent care. A dedicated coordinator tracks the shipment from your US origin to your Irish doorstep, with agents supporting both ends. As seasoned international movers and packers, we tailor our international moving services to your route, volume, and preferred schedule.

We agree on service, coverage, and dates that work on both sides of the Atlantic.

Flexible shipping choices
Choose the Right Shipping Method
Shipment volume, budget and timing shape the right transport choice. Some Ireland-bound sailings connect through a northern European or UK hub, so we compare routing, transit time and cost before you book. For an exact number, our team works as your international moving cost calculator and prices each option.
Best value for a whole house
Ocean Freight
A practical option for a full household. A sole-use 20-foot or 40-foot container gives your shipment dedicated space for sailing to Dublin or Cork when timing is flexible.
Smaller moves
Shared Container
Share the box and pay for your portion with less-than-container-load international shipping. Ask us to get a free groupage shipping quote for a studio or partial move.
Fastest option
Air Freight
Quickest into Dublin for the items you need on day one, priced by weight for a compact, high-priority load.

What Counts as Household Goods?
Your household shipment may include furniture, appliances, kitchenware, clothing, books, decor, personal effects, antiques and fine art. As an international shipping company specializing in relocations, we separate residential effects from commercial cargo so the shipment is documented in the form Irish customs expects.
Common household shipments include
Check before you pack
Some goods face restrictions or need a permit.
- Firearms follow strict rules.
- To qualify for relief, you must have lived outside the EU for at least twelve months and owned and used the goods for at least six.
- Revenue lists the exact rules for the relief, and we prepare the paperwork with you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to move from the USA to Ireland?
Cost depends on volume, your US origin, the service level, and sea versus air. We price the real shipment rather than a generic figure, and offer full-service moving abroad from the USA with a clear breakdown by option.
How long does shipping to Ireland take?
Air freight is quickest and often lands within days. Ocean freight into Dublin from the East Coast usually takes a few weeks door to door once you factor in handling and customs, and West Coast origins take longer. Cork serves the south, and your coordinator confirms the window at booking.
Can I import my belongings into Ireland duty-free?
Usually, yes, under transfer-of-residence relief if you are moving your normal residence from outside the EU. We prepare the C&E 1076 declaration and the supporting documents with you.
What conditions apply to the relief?
In short, you must have lived outside the EU for at least twelve months, owned and used the goods for at least six months, and import within set time limits. We check that your shipment fits before it sails.
Can you move pianos and antiques to Ireland?
Yes. Custom crates and trained crews protect pianos, antiques, and fine art for the Atlantic crossing, and our specialists prepare each piece to travel and clear safely.
Which US cities do you collect from for Ireland?
We collect nationwide and offer international moving services from Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and beyond, routing each to Dublin or Cork.
Do you offer a free quote for Irish moves?
We do. Share your route, and we return a clear, no-obligation estimate, then map the most efficient path to Ireland. Request your international moving quote to start.
