Moving to Colombia from the USA
Moving household goods to Colombia requires coordinated origin packing and a clear plan for the menaje customs process. We collect anywhere in the USA, manage the shipping and clearance steps, and arrange delivery in Bogota, Medellin, Cali or another Colombian destination.

Your Move to Colombia, Coordinated from Pickup to Delivery
An international relocation to Colombia combines long-distance transport with a document-led customs process. We have coordinated overseas household moves since 1948 and use that experience to connect each stage. As your overseas moving company, we manage packing, export documentation, sea or air transport, Colombian clearance and delivery to your new address.
Whether you are shipping a smaller apartment or a full household, the plan is built around your inventory, route and timing. Furniture, appliances, artwork and personal effects remain under one coordinated file, supported by destination partners in Colombia. As experienced international movers in the USA, we tailor our international relocation services to the specific origin and destination.

Storage
Secure storage in the USA or Colombia can bridge timing gaps while housing, travel dates or customs arrangements are finalized.
Packing

From home to destination
How Your Move to Colombia Works
Because the Colombian menaje process is documentation-driven, we organize the relocation into six defined stages so each requirement is addressed before the next handoff.
-
Start with the Route
Tell us where the goods are leaving in the USA, where they are going in Colombia and the approximate size of the household load.
-
Measure the Move
During a video or in-home survey, we verify what is shipping, estimate space and flag pieces that need special preparation.
-
Finalize the Move Plan
We confirm the service scope, protection and schedule for origin and destination.
-
Prepare for Export
The origin crew protects the furniture, numbers the cartons and loads the shipment at your US address.
-
Transport and Clear
The household goods move by sea or air while the Colombian menaje documentation is prepared for customs.
-
Deliver and Unpack
After clearance, we arrange delivery to your Colombian address and provide the unpacking included in your service plan.
Flexible shipping choices
Choose the Right Shipping Method
The best transport method depends on shipment size, budget and how quickly you need the goods. We compare ocean, shared-container and air options against your actual move before pricing the route.
Best value for a whole house
Ocean Freight
A full container load (FCL) is usually the most cost-effective option for a larger household when the schedule allows for longer transit.
Smaller moves
Shared Container
For smaller moves, less-than-container-load international shipping lets you pay according to the portion of container space your shipment uses.
Fastest option
Air Freight
A faster alternative for compact or priority shipments that need to reach Colombia sooner than an ocean load.
Prepare with confidence
Your Colombia Shipping Checklist
Early preparation helps keep the estimate accurate and the menaje documentation consistent with the packed shipment. Work through the following items before the crew arrives.
-
Create a complete inventory
Record the items being shipped and identify higher-value pieces so coverage and customs paperwork can be prepared accurately.
-
Read Colombia's rules
DIAN administers the menaje domestico for people settling in Colombia and explains the household-goods process and the documents required.
-
Choose suitable coverage
Match the protection level to the declared value and nature of the shipment.
-
Prepare the documentation
Keep your passport, entry information and signed inventory available, and review whether the return-law relief described in the source material applies to your situation.
-
Reserve your dates in advance
Capacity can tighten during peak periods, so secure space once your timeline is reasonably firm.
Plan your inventory
What Counts as Household Goods?
For the Colombian menaje process, the shipment is built around belongings used in the home rather than commercial merchandise. As an international shipping company, we move furniture, appliances, kitchenware, clothing, books, decor, personal effects, antiques and artwork. Separating business cargo helps keep the household consignment aligned with the intended relocation category.
Common household shipments include
Before the boxes are sealed
A few rules shape the shipment.
- Colombia generally allows one household shipment per family.
- Returning Colombians may qualify for the Ley 1565 exemption, and vehicles move on their own.
- See the DIAN guide to importing household goods, and we help you meet the conditions.
Experienced support matters
Why Use Professional Movers to Colombia?

Export-grade packing and secure loading help protect belongings throughout the journey.
-
Fewer details for you to manage
We coordinate transport and destination logistics while you focus on housing and settling in, which is where international residential movers add value.
-
More consistent customs preparation
Accurate inventories and familiarity with the menaje process help reduce preventable clearance issues.
-
Specialist handling for difficult items
Trained crews manage bulky furniture, safes and delicate pieces, with international piano movers available for pianos and other demanding loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to move household goods to Colombia?
Pricing depends on shipment size, US origin, Colombian destination and whether you use sea or air. We quote the actual shipment instead of a stock figure, so request a free international moving quote for a method-by-method breakdown.
How long does shipping from the USA to Colombia take?
The timeline changes with the US origin, Colombian city and transport choice. Air cargo moves more quickly than an ocean shipment, and the coordinator gives you a practical transit range once the route and service are confirmed.
Can I bring my belongings into Colombia without heavy duties?
The source material indicates that household goods can be imported under the menaje framework and that returning Colombians may qualify for separate relief. We organize the inventory and supporting documents around the applicable route.
How many shipments am I allowed?
The source material states that the household-goods process generally allows one shipment per family through a single customs office. We plan the consignment around that structure so the inventory remains together.
What about shipping my car to Colombia?
Vehicles follow a separate import process from household goods. Our international car shipping services coordinate the documentation and confirm the applicable requirements before departure.
Which US cities do you serve for Colombia?
We collect nationwide and regularly operate as international movers in Miami, along with New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale and other US origin points.
Can I get a quote at no cost?
Yes. Send us your origin, destination and approximate volume for a no-obligation estimate and a summary of how the menaje process fits into the move. Begin with an international moving quote.
