How does moving to the USA work?
1. Inventory and quotation
You receive a tailored quotation based on volume (in cubic meters), destination (for example New York, Florida, Texas or California), and service level. Request your estimate easily via the moving quote page.
2. Professional packing and container loading
If you choose packing service, trained movers use export-quality materials to protect your belongings for long-distance sea transport.
3. Sea freight or air freight to the United States
- Shared container (groupage): Cost-efficient for smaller volumes.
- Full container load (FCL): Ideal for complete households.
- Air freight: Faster delivery for urgent shipments.
4. U.S. customs clearance
Transpack guides you through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) procedures. For official information, see the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website.
5. Delivery to your new home
After customs release, a local partner in the United States delivers your shipment to your new address and, if selected, unpacks and assembles furniture.
What does it cost to move to America?
The cost of moving to the USA from the Netherlands depends on:
- Volume of your household goods
- Origin and destination address
- Service level (DIY or full-service)
- Sea freight vs. air freight
- Insurance coverage
A smaller shared container shipment is significantly more affordable than a full 40ft container. Transpack provides transparent quotations with clear specifications — no hidden surprises.
