When it comes to moving abroad the stress can be so much more than that due to the long distance and customs regulations. The customs regulations of the particular country you are moving to should be observed and adhered to before your move to stop any nasty surprises when you arrive there. Your removals company should normally provide you with the regulations for the country you are travelling to, but you can always gain this information from the countries government site.
Moving Regulations for Motor Vehicles
You should always ensure you find out about any regulations surrounding the moving of vehicles into the country your travelling to. This is because there is sometimes paper work you'll have to complete and have prepared on arrival. Even things like the air conditioning system you have in your car can make a difference to how easy it is to bring your car into that country. For example in Australia any CFC Refrigerants are prohibited so meaning even if your cars air con system is a CFC unit then it will be denied access.
Quarantine Items When Moving Abroad
There are certain items that may require quarantine before entrance to the country you are moving to. Generally this is only restricted to live stock but due to some countries strict quarantine laws there may be certain items you can't take through with you such as foods. In the strictest of countries it may be that you can't bring in items that have been in contact with soil without them having been steam cleaned first. So checking on their exact laws is the best idea before taking anything with you your unsure of.
So no matter the country you are moving to be sure to check any regulations they may have before hand. Your removals company will in most cases ensure you have the right paper work to take your possessions through customs at the other end but its always wise to ask.
