New York International Moving Services for Apartments, Co-ops and Homes
If your move starts in a building with elevator windows, insurance requirements or difficult curb access, those details need to be part of the quote from day one. We have been international movers in New York since 1948, coordinating building logistics with export packing, freight and overseas delivery under one plan.
For international moving from New York, we collect from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Long Island, then match the service to your property and destination. Our crews plan for walk-ups, freight elevators and curb restrictions before routing the shipment through the Port of New York and New Jersey, JFK or Newark.

Everything your move needs
Choose Your International Moving Services in New York
Every New York move starts with the building. We handle the certificate of insurance, the elevator reservation and the parking, then combine professional packing, custom crating and container shipping for a full home, or shared and air options for a lighter load. As an international moving company based in the New York area, we fit the service to what you are shipping.
Export Packing
Whether it is a pre-war apartment or a suburban house, our overseas packing service wraps every piece to export grade so it survives an Atlantic or Pacific crossing.
Crating for Valuables
Art, antiques, mirrors and glass go into made-to-measure cases from our crating team, with fine art and antique handling for collection pieces.
Container Shipping
For a full home, our container shipping service loads your own container and sails it from the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Part-Loads and Air
Most city apartments ship by less-than-container-load international shipping, while urgent essentials can fly by air freight from JFK or Newark.
Storage and Vehicles
Our storage service covers gaps between leases, and we arrange international car shipping when your car is going too.
From home to destination
How to Book an International Move from New York
Your booking starts with the building and shipment details, then moves into packing and freight. A single coordinator keeps those pieces aligned through overseas delivery.
-
Price the Building and Route Together
Give us the pickup address, destination, preferred date range and a rough inventory so the estimate reflects both access requirements and international transport.
-
Walk Us Through the Apartment
On a video call or in person, a surveyor counts what is going, measures the volume and checks stairs, hallways and the freight elevator; set one up with a free pre-move survey.
-
Confirm Building Access
We coordinate the insurance certificate, freight-elevator reservation and approved moving window with your management office where required.
-
Pack and Collect
The crew prepares and inventories the shipment, then removes it within the building's access and timing restrictions.
-
Dispatch the Shipment
Your goods move through the Port of New York and New Jersey, JFK or Newark while the destination documentation is prepared.
-
Receive the Shipment Abroad
The destination agent completes the final delivery after clearance and carries out unpacking or placement if you selected those services.
Flexible shipping choices
Compare New York Shipping Options: LCL, FCL and Air
Costs are based on the total volume of your belongings in cubic feet, or on their weight, so a studio and a family house are priced very differently. We lay the options out side by side, and for an accurate estimate we recommend a free pre-move survey.
Smaller moves
Apartment Groupage (LCL)
If your New York load does not need a full container, it can be consolidated with compatible shipments and charged by the space occupied. Ask us to get a free groupage shipping quote.
Best value for a whole house
Dedicated Container (FCL)
Townhouses, family homes and larger co-ops may justify a sole-use 20-foot, 40-foot or 40-foot High Cube container for the overseas leg.
Fastest option
Air Freight
Starting a job abroad next week? Send the essentials ahead by air freight through JFK or Newark and ship the rest by sea.
Prepare with confidence
What We Need to Price a New York International Move
New York moving costs depend on the household shipment and the work required to remove it from the building. These are the main details we use to prepare a route-specific quote:
-
Inventory size
The measured volume or weight of your belongings sets the freight requirement and forms the base of the transport portion of the quote.
-
Building access
Walk-ups, long carries, freight-elevator windows and curb restrictions affect the crew plan and collection time.
-
Transport method
LCL, a private container and air freight carry different cost and timing profiles, so we compare them against your volume and schedule.
-
Packing requirements
Full export packing, fragile-only preparation and custom crates are priced according to the items you want us to handle.
-
What happens on arrival
Port fees, import formalities and the final delivery leg vary by country; our customs clearance service sorts the paperwork in advance.
-
Seeing the home first
Estimates over the phone are rough; a free pre-move survey turns them into a firm number.
Plan your inventory
Household and Specialty Items We Move from New York
Book household-goods moving for furniture, appliances, kitchenware, clothing, books, decor, personal effects, antiques and art from New York residences of any size. We focus on residential relocation, so the packing and freight plan is built around your home, building access and overseas destination.
Common household shipments include
Pianos, art and vehicles
New York moves often include pieces that need more than standard packing.
- We move pianos through stairwells and freight elevators and crate fine art and antiques.
- We ship cars by container or roll-on/roll-off.
- We arrange all-risk marine insurance on your declared value.
Experienced support matters
Why Book Our New York International Moving Team?
New York clients often need building coordination before the international shipment can even leave the curb. Keeping that local work and the overseas transport under one team reduces separate handoffs and scheduling conflicts.
-
Building coordination included
We routinely plan around co-op and condo requirements, insurance certificates, freight elevators and scheduled access windows.
-
Direct access to major gateways
New York-area pickup connects efficiently to the Port of New York and New Jersey, JFK and Newark for sea or air transport.
-
Building-to-destination ownership
One coordinator follows the move across the management office, collection crew, international routing and receiving agent, so responsibility stays clear.
-
Cover for what matters
Marine insurance on declared value backs up the packing, which is worth having when your shipment spends weeks at sea.
Our coverage also extends across the Hudson as international movers in New Jersey, giving customers one service area across the five boroughs, Long Island and northern New Jersey. Our overseas moving services can be sized for anything from a part-load apartment move to a full household.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an international move from New York cost?
Pricing is based on the total volume of your shipment in cubic feet, or its weight, plus the destination, the shipping method and any extra services. Building access matters too. For an exact figure, book a free pre-move survey.
Can you coordinate my building's moving requirements?
Yes. We can provide the requested insurance certificate, coordinate the freight elevator with management and plan the collection around permitted access, parking and curb conditions.
Is shared-container shipping suitable for a New York apartment?
Often, yes. Smaller apartment shipments can use groupage so you pay for the space occupied rather than a whole container. We compare LCL and FCL after the survey to show which is more practical for your load.
Can I book full packing or only specialist packing?
Yes. You can book a complete export pack or handle everyday items yourself and use our crew for fragile pieces, electronics, artwork and other belongings that need specialist preparation.
Can you ship a vehicle with my New York household move?
Yes. Your vehicle is collected from your garage or street, then loaded in a container or driven onto a roll-on/roll-off vessel at the New Jersey terminals, with its export title paperwork handled apart from the household file.
Where in the New York metro area do you collect?
We collect throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, as well as Long Island, Westchester and northern New Jersey.
How quickly can I receive a New York moving quote?
Usually within 24 hours. Send the pickup address, overseas destination, approximate shipment size and preferred dates so a coordinator can review the route and service requirements.
