What we can do for you—here and over there:

Before you go, what you need to know

Sentry International provides complete international household goods moving and transportation services for your personal or corporate needs. Responsive and knowledgeable to the unique requirements of international household goods movement, our expansive international moving service organization is dedicated to personalized attention and high performance.

When considering international household goods relocation, many questions arise. For many, this can be a daunting and unfamiliar process.  For this reason, we have a knowledgeable designated pre-move relocation counselor who will contact you to discuss the entire moving process, including the survey, packing, documentation, insurance, move dates, destination services, etc.

Moving Reminder Checklist:

• Call your Sentry International agent. Set a date for the agent to visually survey your home and prepare an estimate.
• Show the agent everything that is going to be moved. Any items you fail to disclose or that are added later to the shipment will increase the cost, even if you have been given a binding estimate.
• Sign the Estimate/Order for Service after you are sure you have a clear understanding of each section. If you have any questions, ask your agent to explain.
• Keep the phone number and name of your salesperson or move coordinator nearby. Be sure to supply your agent with destination address and phone numbers where you can be reached.
• Make sure to notify your agent if you add or subtract items from your planned move or if there are any changes in dates.
• Confirm any extra stops required to pick up or deliver goods to a location other than the main pickup or delivery points.

Car Shipments
Are you considering moving your car overseas? Sentry International is a company offering safe, reliable, international auto moving services. With years of experience in the industry, we know the auto transport business. Let us be your international car movers! From autos, boats, or trailers, we can ship anywhere in the world, and it is much easier than you may think.

We can move a vehicle from any port to any other port usually with a full choice of car shipping methods including containerized (FCL), roll on-roll off (RO-RO). Choose from a full range of optional extras, as required, including full insurance coverage.

The following is a description of the available options:

1. Containerized (FCL)
We are able to place your vehicle directly into the container, secure it in position and export it to your country of choice. Container shipping encompasses a number of different options. We offer FCL "sole use" container services with only your vehicle(s) in the container, to most major ports worldwide. This involves your car being secured within a container with straps and wheel chocks to hold it in place. You effectively pay for the sole use of the container, for your vehicle only. (A number of options are available - at extra cost - space permitting; your household goods may be included. Your car is loaded into the container, and a crate is custom-built around it to protect your vehicle in transit. You pay only for the space taken up within the container by your timber framed vehicle.

2. Roll on-Roll off (RO-RO)
This can be a more cost-effective way of shipping your vehicle. On selected routes, a ferry-like boat can take the car to your destination. Such vessels are purpose built car carriers, used by manufacturers to deliver vehicles around the world. Cars are protected from the elements and are secured within enclosed car decks, by straps and chocks, to tie points. Normally such services are not as frequent as container vessels, but there can definitely be useful cost savings on some routes over container shipment.

Required Documentation
In order to export a vehicle, the original title must be available for customs purposes. The following are forms that you may need when going through the customs process:

• Non-Resale form
• Valued inventory
• Copy of your passport .  
• Proof of residence
