When exporting personal belongings from the USA to Greece, you’ll need to comply with customs regulations in both countries. In the USA, you’ll typically need to complete a Shipper’s Export Declaration form. For Greece, the main documentation required includes a detailed inventory list of all items being shipped, as well as copies of your passport and Greek residence permit (if applicable). Certain items like firearms, alcohol, and medications may also require additional paperwork or face restrictions. It’s important to research the specific customs requirements for your situation well in advance.
There are a few different shipping methods available for transporting your personal effects to Greece. Many people opt for a full container load (FCL) if they have a large volume of items, which provides the most secure and direct transport. Alternatively, a less-than-container load (LCL) service can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments. Door-to-door delivery services that handle all the logistics from your US home to your Greek residence are also an option. Shipping times typically range from 4-8 weeks depending on the method. Be sure to work with an experienced international moving company that can guide you through the process.
Proper packing is crucial when shipping personal belongings overseas. Use high-quality boxes, bubble wrap, and packing materials to ensure your items arrive safely. It’s a good idea to take detailed photos of your packed boxes and belongings before shipment in case you need to file a claim. Label all boxes clearly with your name and Greek address. You may also want to consider purchasing marine/transit insurance to protect your goods in case of loss or damage during the journey.
