    Call Von Paris Moving & Storage for international removals in Washington D.C.

    Moving to another country involves considerably more than getting your household belongings from one address to another. International relocations can involve customs requirements, shipping regulations, detailed inventories, transportation schedules, and coordination between moving professionals in multiple countries. Whether you are leaving Washington, D.C. for an overseas career opportunity, relocating for family reasons, retiring abroad, or returning to the District after living in another country, experienced international movers can make the transition easier to manage.

    Von Paris Moving & Storage provides professional international removals in Washington D.C., supported by more than 130 years of experience in the moving and relocation industry. From residences in Georgetown and Capitol Hill to homes and apartments throughout Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest D.C., our team provides personalized assistance for international moves of all sizes.

    When you are ready to begin planning your overseas relocation, contact Von Paris Moving & Storage for professional guidance and a personalized estimate.

    A Washington D.C. Moving Company with International Capabilities

    Since 1892, Von Paris Moving & Storage has helped individuals, families, and organizations navigate relocations throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Our experience has grown beyond local and domestic moves to include international relocation services supported by an established network of transportation and destination partners.

    International moving requires careful coordination at every stage. Our team helps organize the many details involved in transporting your belongings across national borders while keeping you informed throughout the process.

    Our international moving capabilities include:

    • Experienced packing and moving professionals
    • Secure, climate-controlled storage facilities
    • Transportation and inventory management resources
    • Established international relocation partnerships
    • Personalized move coordination
    • Communication throughout the relocation process
    • Careful handling of household belongings and valuables

    Whether you are departing from a condominium near Dupont Circle or a residence in Chevy Chase, D.C., we can help organize your move and prepare your belongings for their journey overseas.

    Planning an International Move from Washington D.C.

    An overseas relocation often requires significantly more preparation than a domestic move. Customs rules, destination-country requirements, shipping schedules, documentation, and restrictions can all affect your timeline.

    For this reason, we recommend starting the planning process several months before your desired moving date whenever possible.

    Our international relocation professionals can assist with:

    • Reviewing destination-country customs and import requirements
    • Organizing international shipping documentation
    • Developing household inventories
    • Coordinating ocean and air freight
    • Identifying restricted or prohibited belongings
    • Planning transportation and shipment schedules
    • Coordinating logistics with international destination partners

    Taking care of these details early can help reduce avoidable complications and give you more time to prepare for life in your new country.

    Comprehensive International Moving Services

    Personalized Overseas Relocation Planning

    No two international relocations are exactly alike. The size of your household, destination, schedule, shipping method, and individual circumstances can all influence how your move should be organized.

    Von Paris creates a relocation plan tailored to your specific requirements. Our planning services may include:

    • In-home or remote consultations
    • Customized international move coordination
    • Destination-specific relocation guidance
    • Air and ocean shipping recommendations
    • Scheduling and logistics management
    • Assistance organizing required documentation
    • Coordination with overseas moving and destination agents

    Whether you are relocating from a rowhouse in Capitol Hill or a high-rise residence in downtown D.C., our team works to create a clear and organized moving plan.

    Specialized Export Packing and Crating

    International shipments can travel by truck, ship, and aircraft before reaching their final destination. Proper preparation and packing are therefore essential for protecting your belongings throughout the journey.

    Our professional export packing services may include:

    • Durable materials designed for international transportation
    • ISPM-15 compliant wooden crating
    • Specialized protection for artwork and valuables
    • Furniture wrapping and protective coverings
    • Careful labeling and inventory documentation
    • Custom packing for fragile and specialty belongings

    From antiques and artwork to furniture and electronics, our trained crews use appropriate packing methods based on the items being transported and the requirements of the shipment.

    Door-to-Door International Relocations

    Managing an international move can involve numerous transportation providers and destinations. Von Paris Moving & Storage helps coordinate the relocation from your Washington, D.C. residence through delivery at your new home overseas.

    Depending on your moving plan, services can include:

    • Pickup from your Washington, D.C. residence
    • Professional packing and loading
    • Transportation to ports or airports
    • Ocean freight or air freight arrangements
    • Coordination with international destination partners
    • Delivery at your destination
    • Unpacking and furniture placement

    Our goal is to provide continuity throughout the moving process so you have professional support at each major stage of your relocation.

    Assistance with Customs and Shipping Documentation

    Customs clearance is an important part of virtually every international household move. Incomplete paperwork, incorrect inventories, or unfamiliar import requirements can potentially result in delays or additional expenses.

    Our international relocation team works with appropriate partners to help organize the documentation associated with your shipment.

    Support may include:

    • Passport and visa documentation guidance
    • Household goods inventories
    • Customs declarations
    • Shipment and container information
    • Transportation and arrival scheduling
    • Destination-related documentation
    • Guidance regarding applicable health or other entry requirements

    By preparing documentation carefully before your belongings are shipped, we help create a more organized customs process.

    Secure Storage During Your International Relocation

    International moves do not always happen according to a single, predictable schedule. You may be waiting for your overseas residence to become available, dealing with a delayed closing, living in temporary housing, or coordinating the move in several stages.

    Von Paris offers secure storage solutions for customers who need additional flexibility during their relocation.

    Our storage options include:

    • Climate-controlled storage environments
    • Organized inventory management
    • Short-term storage
    • Long-term storage
    • Secure handling of household belongings

    Whether you need to store furniture before departing D.C. or keep possessions in storage while waiting for your international residence to be ready, flexible storage can help simplify the transition.

    Second time using this company. Professional from start to finish. Not a thing was damaged and the price never changed. Highly recommend.
    We had an amazing experience with Von Paris Moving & Storage!! Choosing a moving company can be really difficult, it is hard to know who to trust. Deb-b, our Move Coordinator, was so fabulous and truly was with us every step of the way! With two little babies at home and moving across states she made the experience stress free. The moving crew was professional, punctual, and handled all of our things with care. We really valued the constant communication prior, during and after the move. It was a very efficient and positive experience. Highly recommend!!

    We had a very pleasurable experience moving to our forever home. The crew were very friendly and nice to deal with. The took care to cover the floors at both our old home and new home. They loaded and unloaded our items carefully. We would definitely refer them to anyone moving interstate.
    This was honestly as much a stress free experience as possible for a move. Julie and Rueben with move coordination and customer service were super professional and courteous. Communication and follow-up went above and beyond. The moving crew was exceptional as well. Mark was very communicative about what they were doing and why at all times. They all were super friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend Von Paris Moving and Storage!

    The Von Paris Moving team did a fantastic job with my move. More, they are exceedingly patient. My experience prior to the move was very painful due to closing being repeatedly delayed by others. This extended over 2.5 months and each time we hit a delay I had to call my moving coordinator, Deb-b, who was fantastic, understanding, and comforting in these trying times. They also held the price which was appreciated because we were not able to control any of the circumstances around the delays. When we finally moved, Antwan and his team were very efficient and the communication was good. At one point at the new house the truck was having trouble getting up the driveway with the snow and some of the crew hopped out and helped me clear some of the peripheral areas on the driveway that the tires were slipping on. They protected both houses and afterwards cleaned up. I highly recommend the Von Paris Team for your next move!

    I had an amazing experience with Von Paris for my move from Baltimore to Washington, DC. They were very friendly and communicative during the whole process. I really liked how I was assigned a coordinator that I could call or email whenever if I had a question before the move. Would recommend!

    Great moving experience with Von Paris Moving. Great experience from the start. Mark did a thorough walk thru with me and was attentive to the details of my household. He assured me I would get quality professional service for my move... and he was right. Deb-b kept me informed of details. They both were so helpful with my questions and checked in on me thru the process. Moving crew was awesome... Antawn and the guys were friendly and took great care in wrapping each piece of furniture, carefully protected glass shelving and antique furniture. They were fun too... truly a joy working with them.

    If you need movers, look no further…Von Paris Moving & Storage is the answer. We cannot say enough good things about this company.
    We recently needed to move all our furniture and belongings, store everything for two weeks while all our flooring was replaced, and then have everything returned. Deb-b, our assigned moving coordinator, responded promptly and thoroughly to every question we had, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
    As for the actual moves, Fernando and his team showed up on time, took great care to cover our floors, and protected our walls, furniture and belongings. They worked together like a well-oiled machine. Fernando inventoried every item while the other guys dismantled furniture, wrapped and packed everything. The inventory system was incredibly efficient with lots of coding and every item was labeled, with accompanying cords, bolts/screws counted, marked, and packed.
    From our lampshades to our artwork to dismantling our furniture, every piece was handled with kid gloves. No matter what we asked, the response was always “Not a problem, we’ll take care of it.” We were so impressed with the efficiency of the 1st move, we requested Fernando and team manage the 2nd move returning everything at end of the two weeks. Fernando even “rebuilt” our wood entertainment center which was no small feat.
    Every employee was professional and cheerful, the specific inventory method was efficient, and not one thing was damaged during the two moves. We were pleasantly surprised by the low cost of the two moves and storage. Von Paris Moving & Storage is a well-run, family-owned company that prioritizes customer service!

    I recently used Von Paris movers for a move from my residence of 38 years to a nearby retirement community. They did an outstanding job. Fernando and his crew went above and beyond. It was a snowy morning, and they had to take my furniture down twelve steps to load it into their truck. There were many fragile pieces with glass - they carefully wrapped everything. There were no issues at the receiving end - all my furniture arrived intact, along with all my fragile belongings. Fernando is a perfectionist, and he made sure everything was in perfect order before he left. I highly recommend Von Paris movers. They actually made a stressful day enjoyable!
    I was very pleased with Von Paris' recent move of my sister's household effects. Sean, Harold and the team showed up on time and did a thorough and professional job at both ends of the move. They were able to adjust to a request to discard certain items. I would definitely come to Von Paris again. Thanks!

    Very professional service, quick, accurate from estimate to completion, not one break or chip - hard working great crew. Honest and trustworthy people behind the Von Paris name. If I ever have to move again, it will only be with Von Paris.
    Amazing company! From beginning to end, they truly cared about me and my stuff. The coordination staff ahead of time made it super easy to schedule and have an idea of how the day would go. The moving team was phenomenal - they took such care with my stuff and communicated throughout the process to make sure everything was moved accordingly. They also even built and rebuilt items better than I had originally built myself! I recommend this company to anyone looking for an easy, stress-free move.

    Von Paris is one of the more professional and reliable moving companies in the DC area. It was a pleasure to work with Deb and Ruben before the move, especially with all of our date changes. They were really flexible.

    The packing & move team, led by Ken, were incredible! Professional, on-time, fun & supportive. We had a very challenging moving day - rained cats & dogs the entire move. And we moved my dad from a large, single family home (38 years in that home!) into a retirement community. Emotionally and physically draining on him. Not the easiest day.

    Von Paris is never going to be the lowest priced mover, maybe not even mid-priced. I'm good with that because you get what you pay for; their professionalism and "we take care of you" showed even after a very long day.

    Thank you Von Paris!!

    Moving with Von Paris was a great experience from start to finish. The initial estimate with Link was quick and efficient. Debbie, our moving coordinator, was proactive and detailed throughout the process. She even followed up with us on the day of the move to ensure everything went well. The moving team of Sean, Harold and Robbie were excellent. They arrived on time, were professional and took great pride in their work. Sean was a great leader and Harold and Robbie always had a smile on their face. This was a five star crew.

    We first used Von Paris 5 1/2 years ago and thought they were terrific. They were the most professional and caring service company we had encountered. They took amazing care in prepping our home and belongings for the move. From covering all floors and walls to removing doors as needed.
    Yesterday (11/2/23) we moved yet again and had an entirely new crew. Well, these six men were even better than the last crew. Again, these men took such care of our homes and belongings. They were not only professional, but incredibly friendly. They were patient with us in placing furniture, even moving pieces a second time without batting an eye.
    And yes, not one thing broken.
    Team leader Fernando has developed an awesome team!
    FYI, we obtained a second quote at the start of this process from a furniture delivery company we’ve grown to really appreciate and they were more expensive.
    So much for the reputation that Avon Paris is too expensive.
    Great people taking care of your home with no issues is giant piece of mind.
    Thank you Von Paris.
