Moving to the Land Down Under
January 21st 2012 -
There was a time when picking up and moving to the land down under was almost an everyday affair but in these times when money is at a premium and times are tough, fewer people consider a future in a land of almost unlimited sunshine. Actually, it isn’t a bad idea as the economy in Australia is still on stable ground and there is still plenty of sunshine to go around, even for the most sun-thirsty Brits who are ready for a change. In fact, the biggest obstacle you may need to overcome is shipping to Australia and that is not a problem with Robinsons International Removals.
Whether you are moving an entire company to Australia or would simply like to start afresh in a land where sunshine reigns supreme, it isn’t as daunting a task as you might believe. Bear in mind that bringing in household goods do often have customs fees to pay, but Robinsons International Removals has a duty guide which can help you understand what you can freely import into Australia without paying duty. For example, any personal belongings or household goods which you have owned and been using for a minimum of one year are most often exempt from customs duty.
Then there may be a period of quarantine to think about which can hold things up at the border for approximately 14 days in many cases based on the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service regulations, commonly referred to as AQIS. Plus, there are benefits involved in using a well-reputed international removals company like Robinsons Overseas Removals. They have laid the groundwork for you so you need not feel you are in this alone.
Whether you are shipping to USA or moving to the land down under, from planning to setting up in your new country, you will be guided in every step of the move. Tired of long cold winter months and high heating bills? The Southern States in the US or the land down under can give you a whole new lease on life and Robinsons International Removals can get your belongings there safely and securely so that you can familiarize yourself with the lay of the land.
