World-Class Sarasota International Movers | First Class Moving Systems

International moving costs are typically driven by volume (cubic feet) rather than just weight. In 2025, a standard 2-bedroom home move from the East Coast to Europe generally ranges from $6,300 to $9,000. Moves to Australia or Asia typically range from $7,000 to $12,000+. We provide free, on-site surveys to provide a detailed and accurate estimate.

Shipping via sea freight (ocean container) usually takes 5 to 9 weeks to Europe and 8 to 12 weeks to Australia or Asia. Air freight is significantly faster, typically arriving within 7 to 14 days, but is more expensive and often reserved for essential items.

FCL (Full Container Load) means you have exclusive use of a 20ft or 40ft container. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your items share container space with others, which is often more cost-effective for smaller shipments but can take longer due to consolidation.

Most countries allow “used household goods and personal effects” to enter duty-free if you have owned them for a certain period (usually 6–12 months). Your International Relocation Coordinator will provide specific duty and tax info for your destination.

Yes. We provide up-to-the-minute reports and online shipment tracking so you can follow your container’s journey across the ocean from PortMiami or Port Tampa Bay to your new home.
