International Movers to Asia

International Movers to Asia Since 1976

We've been moving families across oceans since 1976, and Asia is one of our most active international corridors. Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, India, the Philippines, and beyond. From your home in North Carolina to your new address in Asia, we handle the full job. Packing, crating, export documentation, ocean or air freight, customs clearance, and delivery at the destination.

How an International Move to Asia Works

It starts with a survey. We'll do an in-home walkthrough or video call to see exactly what you're shipping. That survey drives your quote, so there are no surprises later. Once you book, the process looks like this:

Packing and Crating: Our crew packs your household using international-grade materials. Items heading across the Pacific get extra protection. We build custom wood crates for artwork, antiques, and anything fragile or oddly shaped.
Customs Documentation: We prepare your detailed inventory, bill of lading, and all U.S. export paperwork. We also coordinate with your destination country's requirements so your shipment clears customs without delays.
Ocean or Air Freight: Most full household moves go by ocean. Your container ships from a U.S. port to your destination in Asia, typically 4 to 6 weeks. If you need essentials faster, we can send a smaller air freight shipment that arrives in 7 to 14 days.
Destination Delivery: Our partner agent handles customs clearance at the Asian port, then delivers to your new home. They'll unload, unpack on request, and remove all packing materials.

What You Handle, What We Handle

You take care of your visas, flights, and personal documents. We take care of the rest. Packing, loading, shipping, customs, delivery. If you need storage in the U.S. before departure or at the destination, we coordinate that too. We've been doing this across six continents for nearly 50 years. The logistics are second nature.

Timelines and Planning

Budget 8 to 10 weeks from booking to delivery for ocean freight to most Asian destinations. Packing at your home takes 1 to 3 days. Start the process at least 6 weeks before your departure so your shipment and your arrival line up. For air freight essentials, we can move faster. Give us 2 to 3 weeks and we'll get a priority shipment to your door.

Why Choose Truckin' Movers for Asia?

Anything, Anywhere

Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China, India, the Philippines. We move households to Asia and back again. Packing, crating, customs paperwork, ocean or air freight, and delivery at the destination. One call covers the whole job.

Career Employees

Our average crew member has been with us over ten years. International packing is a skill. Wrapping fine china for a 6-week ocean voyage is different from wrapping it for a move across town. Our people know the difference.

Exact Moving Dates

We give you a specific pickup date at origin. Ocean transit to Asia runs 4 to 6 weeks from the East Coast. Air freight gets there in 7 to 14 days. We track your shipment at every stage and keep you in the loop.

One Touch Handling

Your belongings go into a container at your home and stay in that same container across the Pacific. One load, one unload, even if the shipment sits in port for a few days. Less handling means less risk over thousands of miles of ocean.

Asia Moving FAQ

A full household move to Asia typically runs $6,000 to $18,000 depending on volume, destination, and whether you choose ocean or air freight. We do a thorough survey of your home, then give you a firm written quote. We've been pricing these moves since 1976.

Ocean freight from the East Coast to most Asian ports takes 4 to 6 weeks. Air freight cuts that to 7 to 14 days but costs more. Japan and South Korea are on the faster end. Southeast Asia and India add a week or two by sea.

Restricted items vary by country. Japan is strict about food and plant material. Singapore restricts electronics and media. China has rules about used furniture and appliances. We'll walk you through your destination's specific list before packing day.

Most Asian countries let you import used household goods duty-free if you're establishing residency and the goods have been owned for at least a year. You'll need a valid visa, passport, and a detailed inventory. We handle the customs paperwork on our end.

Ocean freight is the standard for full household moves. It's more cost-effective and handles large volumes. Air freight works well for smaller shipments or essentials you need right away. Many customers do both: air freight for the first two weeks, ocean freight for the rest.

We offer full-replacement-value transit insurance that covers your belongings from packing through delivery. Basic carrier liability is included, but for a move across the Pacific, we strongly recommend full coverage. It's worth it.
