Our 8-Step International Packers and Movers Process from Bangalore
Rehousing Packers follows a systematic international relocation process ensuring smooth, compliant, and damage-free shipping from Bangalore to your international destination. Each step is managed by experienced coordinators with full transparency and customer communication.
Step 1: Pre-Move Survey & Quotation
Our Bangalore team conducts a detailed home survey (in-person or virtual) to assess volume, identify fragile items, note special packing requirements, and understand destination specifics. We evaluate furniture dimensions, electronic equipment, vehicle shipping needs, and restricted items per destination customs regulations. Based on comprehensive inventory, we provide a detailed quotation breaking down packing costs, freight charges (sea/air), insurance premium, customs documentation fees, origin port handling, destination charges, and door delivery costs. Survey includes consultation on prohibited items, quarantine restrictions, and timeline planning. No hidden charges—complete transparency in pricing. Free survey available across all Bangalore locations with no obligation to proceed.
Step 2: Documentation & Compliance Preparation
Upon booking confirmation, our documentation team initiates paperwork preparation including commercial invoice (detailed item-wise description and declared values), packing list (carton-wise contents), GST invoice for domestic leg, IEC (Import Export Code) verification or assistance in obtaining if needed, and destination-specific forms. We classify goods under appropriate HS codes (Harmonized System nomenclature) for accurate customs declaration, verify compliance with destination import regulations (electronics certifications, wood fumigation certificates, food item restrictions), and prepare shipping instructions.
For corporate moves, we handle additional commercial documentation. Customers provide passport copies, visa documents, destination address proof, and authority letter for customs representation. Complete documentation package prepared before packing begins to avoid delays at customs checkpoints.
Step 3: Professional Packing & Pickup in Bangalore
Our trained packing crew arrives at your Bangalore residence on scheduled date with industrial-grade packing materials—corrugated cartons of various sizes, bubble wrap, thermocol sheets, foam padding, stretch film, packing paper, wooden crates for fragile items, and specialized boxes for electronics. Furniture is disassembled using proper tools, each piece labeled for easy reassembly. Fragile items like glassware, artwork, and antiques receive individual wrapping and wooden crating.
Electronics are packed in original boxes when available or custom cartons with anti-static materials. Heavy items like washing machines are secured with corner guards and pallet bases. Each carton is numbered, labeled with contents summary, and recorded in master inventory list. Complete packing typically takes 1-3 days depending on home size. Post-packing, goods are loaded into GPS-tracked trucks for transport to export port (Chennai/Mangalore/Cochin based on shipping schedule).
Step 4: Export Packing & Wooden Crating at Warehouse
Shipment arrives at our export-certified warehouse near the port of export where additional containerization packing is performed. Cartons are consolidated, wooden crates are constructed for high-value or fragile items meeting ISPM-15 international phytosanitary standards (heat-treated or fumigated wood), and goods are arranged for optimal container loading. For LCL shipments, items are palletized and secured for shared container space. For FCL, we perform container stuffing with strategic weight distribution, securing items with lashing straps and dunnage materials to prevent movement during ocean transit.
Container sealing is documented with photographs and seal numbers recorded. Final cubic measurement and weight verification completed, and Bill of Lading instructions submitted to shipping line. This stage ensures compliance with international shipping standards and minimizes damage risk during long-distance transit.
Step 5: Customs Clearance at Indian Port of Export
Our licensed customs broker handles complete export customs formalities at Chennai/Mangalore/Cochin port. Submission of shipping bill (export declaration), commercial invoice, packing list, and supporting documents to Indian Customs authorities. Physical examination if required by customs officers, with our representative present to facilitate. Processing of IGST exemption under LUT (Letter of Undertaking) for eligible export shipments, eliminating upfront GST payment.
Verification of HS codes, declared values, and item descriptions. Clearance of duties if any applicable (typically nil for household goods exports), generation of EGM (Export General Manifest), and Let Export Order issuance. Container is then moved to port terminal for vessel loading. Real-time updates provided to customer on clearance status. Typical export customs clearance takes 2-4 working days depending on port congestion and examination requirements.
Step 6: International Ocean/Air Transit
Shipment departs India via ocean freight (most cost-effective for household goods) or air freight (for urgent/small shipments) to destination country. For sea shipping, we utilize services of reputed international carriers with regular sailings to major ports worldwide. Container is loaded aboard vessel as per booking, and Bill of Lading (ocean waybill) is issued as proof of shipment and title document. Transit times vary by destination—UAE 12-18 days, Europe 25-35 days, USA 28-40 days, Australia 22-32 days.
Shipment tracking available via container/BL number on carrier websites. For air freight, goods move via cargo flights with Air Waybill documentation, reaching destination airports within 5-10 days. Throughout transit, goods are covered under comprehensive marine/air cargo insurance. We monitor vessel schedules, transshipment connections if applicable, and proactively inform customers of any delays due to weather, port congestion, or routing changes.
Step 7: Destination Customs Clearance
Upon arrival at destination port/airport, our partner agents or appointed customs brokers handle import customs clearance formalities as per local regulations. Submission of import declaration, Bill of Lading/Air Waybill, commercial invoice, packing list, and customer's passport/visa documents. Assessment of customs duties and taxes as per destination country's regulations (duty rates vary—some countries offer exemptions for returning residents or first-time imports of used household goods). Payment of applicable duties by customer or on customer's behalf if prearranged.
Physical inspection by destination customs if required. Clearance of quarantine requirements for wooden items (fumigation certificates verified). Issuance of delivery order for cargo release from port/airport custody. This stage timeline varies by country—UAE 2-3 days, USA 3-5 days, Australia 4-7 days, UK 3-4 days. Our agents coordinate closely with customers for any additional documentation needed and ensure compliant, expedited clearance.
Step 8: Final Mile Delivery & Unpacking at Destination
After customs clearance, goods are transported from port/airport to customer's destination address via local trucking partners. Delivery is scheduled as per customer's convenience, with advance notice provided. Upon arrival, our delivery team unloads cartons and crates, places items in designated rooms as per customer instructions, and performs unpacking services if included in service package. Furniture reassembly using original hardware and assembly instructions preserved from packing stage. Removal of packing debris—cartons, bubble wrap, and wooden crates (recycled per local regulations).
Item-by-item verification against master inventory list, noting any damages if observed (extremely rare with our professional packing standards). Customer sign-off on delivery completion. Any insurance claims for damages initiated immediately with photographic documentation. Optional additional services include furniture installation, appliance setup, and extended unpacking assistance. Post-delivery support continues until customer is fully settled at new international location.

Documentation, Customs Clearance & Insurance for International Moves from Bangalore

Comprehensive Transit Insurance Coverage
Every international shipment is covered under marine cargo insurance (for sea freight) or air cargo insurance (for air freight) with coverage at 0.1–0.5% of declared value+ aggregate limit. Our insurance policies are underwritten by leading general insurance companies licensed by IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India) and comply with Institute Cargo Clauses. Coverage includes:
- All-Risk Coverage: Protection against physical loss or damage from external causes including rough handling, container accidents, vehicle collisions, dropping during loading/unloading, and impact damage.
- Marine Perils: Sinking, stranding, collision of vessel, fire, explosion, storms, heavy weather, and sea water damage.
- War & SRCC: Optional coverage for war risks, strikes, riots, civil commotions, and terrorism (recommended for certain destination regions).
- Total Loss: Full compensation if entire shipment is lost due to vessel sinking, aircraft crash, or catastrophic events.
- Partial Loss: Item-specific compensation for damaged goods based on declared value and depreciation as per policy terms.
Insurance premium is typically 0.1-0.5% of declared shipment value depending on destination risk profile, commodity type, and packing quality. Claims process involves surveyor assessment, damage documentation, and settlement within 30-45 days. Customers must declare accurate values—undervaluation may result in proportionate claim reduction. High-value items (jewelry, artwork, antiques) may require separate valuation certificates and higher premiums.
Import Export Code (IEC) & GST Compliance
IEC (Import Export Code) is a 10-digit code issued by Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) required for international trade transactions. While household goods exports technically require IEC, many ports accept personal relocations without IEC if value is below threshold and goods are clearly used personal effects. However, we recommend obtaining IEC (one-time process, ₹500 fee) for:
- Large household shipments at 0.1–0.5% of declared value declared value
- Vehicles, commercial goods, or new items being exported
- Multiple shipments planned over time
- Smooth customs processing without questioning
Rehousing Packers assists with IEC application if needed—requires PAN card, Aadhaar, bank certificate, and photographs. Processing time 7-10 days via online DGFT portal.
GST & IGST Treatment for Export Shipments
Goods and Services Tax (GST) implications for international moves from Bangalore:
- Domestic Packing & Handling: 18% GST applicable on packing service, domestic transport to port, and service charges within India. GST invoice provided.
- International Freight: Exports are zero-rated under GST—no GST on ocean freight, air freight, or destination charges.
- IGST Exemption: Exporters with Letter of Undertaking (LUT) or bond can ship without paying IGST upfront, avoiding cash flow blockage and refund delays.
- Input Tax Credit: For commercial shipments, businesses can claim input tax credit on GST paid for domestic services.
Personal household goods exports by individuals are straightforward—GST on Indian service component only, with no export duty or cesses applicable.
Customs Documentation Package
Complete documentation prepared and submitted for international moves from Bangalore includes:
Origin (India Export) Documents:
- Commercial Invoice: Detailed item-wise description, quantity, weight, and declared FOB value in USD/EUR. Even personal goods require commercial invoice for customs.
- Packing List: Carton-wise contents list with package numbers, dimensions, and gross/net weights. Critical for customs examination and unpacking at destination.
- Shipping Bill (Bill of Export): Customs declaration form for exports filed electronically via ICEGATE portal with HS code classification.
- Bill of Lading (B/L) or Air Waybill (AWB): Transport document issued by carrier as receipt and title document for goods.
- SDF (Shipping Development Fund) Declaration: If applicable based on shipment value and type.
- Certificate of Origin: For certain destinations requiring Indian origin certification (preferential trade agreements).
- Fumigation Certificate: For wooden crates/pallets meeting ISPM-15 standards (heat treatment or methyl bromide fumigation).

HS Code Classification
Harmonized System (HS) codes are internationally standardized commodity classification codes used by customs worldwide. Household goods typically fall under Chapter 94 (furniture), Chapter 84 (machinery/appliances), Chapter 85 (electronics), Chapter 63 (textiles), and others. Accurate HS code classification is critical because:
- Determines applicable customs duty rates at destination
- Affects eligibility for duty exemptions or preferential tariffs
- Triggers specific import restrictions or licensing requirements
- Ensures proper statistical recording by customs authorities
Our experienced documentation team assigns correct 6-8 digit HS codes based on item description and destination tariff schedules. Misclassification can cause customs delays, penalties, or even seizure—we ensure compliance from the start.
Restricted & Prohibited Items
Certain items cannot be shipped internationally or require special permits. Commonly restricted/prohibited items include:
- Absolutely Prohibited: Narcotics, weapons, explosives, hazardous chemicals, counterfeit goods, radioactive materials.
- Country-Specific Restrictions: Alcohol (prohibited in Middle East), pork products (prohibited in Muslim countries), medicines (prescription required), plants/seeds (quarantine restrictions), ivory/wildlife products (CITES restrictions).
- Flammable/Hazardous: Paints, aerosols, batteries, lighters, cleaning chemicals—special DG (Dangerous Goods) shipping required with surcharges.
- High-Value Items: Jewelry, gold, cash, negotiable instruments—require special declaration and higher insurance; often better to carry personally.
- Perishable Foods: Many countries prohibit dairy, meat, fruits—check destination biosecurity rules.
We provide detailed advisory during survey stage on what can/cannot be shipped to your specific destination, avoiding customs complications and shipment rejection.
Anti-Dumping & Trade Compliance Screening
For commercial shipments or high-value goods, we conduct screening against:
- Anti-Dumping Duties: Additional duties imposed on specific products from certain countries to prevent below-market pricing.
- Sanctions Lists: OFAC (USA), UN Security Council, EU sanctions—restricted countries/entities cannot receive shipments.
- Import Licensing: Some commodities require advance import licenses in destination countries.
- Trade Remedies: Countervailing duties, safeguard measures affecting specific product categories.
Personal household effects typically exempt from most trade remedy measures, but awareness ensures no surprises during customs clearance.
Customs Duty & Tax at Destination

What Our Customers Say
"Got my Pulsar 220F transported from Bangalore to Delhi for my husband's posting. Quote was ₹7,500 with full insurance. Crating was excellent — they removed the mirrors, secured the windshield, drained the petrol partially. Delivered in 5 days, exactly as quoted. Trustworthy."
"Relocated from a 4 BHK villa with antique furniture and a piano. Their senior coordinator did a video survey and brought in a specialist team for the piano. Custom wooden crating was prepared a day before. Everything reached safely — even the 80-year-old grandfather clock that has been in the family. Premium service at..."
"Transported my Hyundai Creta from Mumbai to Bangalore for a job relocation. Closed-container option came with photo updates at every checkpoint — origin, midway, destination. Insurance was ₹5 lakh, well above the car value. Crew was on time at both ends. Highly satisfied."
"Shipped my Royal Enfield interstate with them. The crating job was top-notch — they wrapped the petrol tank, secured the chain, removed the battery, and used wooden crating. Bike arrived in same condition, not a single scratch. Photos were shared at pickup and delivery. Insurance papers handed over without me asking."
"Moved my entire 3 BHK from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. The crew was super professional — used proper bubble wrap, corrugated boxes, even special crating for my LED TV. Nothing was damaged. Total cost was ₹38,000 which was the lowest among 5 quotes I got. Settled the payment online — proper GST invoice."
