Case Summary: Mr. Xu from Nanjing chose Seapoe's door-to-door dual-clearance service to ship 11 cubic meters of furniture and luggage to New York, USA via LCL sea freight.

New York is the largest city in the United States, hailed as the world's cultural capital and shopping paradise, with a highly developed education system. New York is not only a world-class metropolis but also one of the cities with the largest Chinese immigrant population in the US. There is more than one Chinatown in the city—the bustling Manhattan Chinatown, Brooklyn Chinatown, and Flushing Chinatown all make people feel immersed in an authentic Chinese world. Therefore, New York has become the primary choice for Chinese immigrants. Mr. Xu from Nanjing is about to move to New York and, before departure, packed up the furniture and luggage from his home in China to bring to the United States.

Shipping furniture and luggage from Nanjing to New York, although it is a cross-border move, choosing Seapoe's door-to-door dual-clearance service makes the entire process worry-free and effortless. Seapoe's door-to-door dual-clearance service process includes: door-to-door pickup and packing — booking and container loading — customs declaration and ocean shipping — customs clearance and delivery — simple furniture assembly — removal of packaging waste. Mr. Xu only needs to provide copies of his visa and passport to complete this cross-border move. Cross-border moving is simple enough in itself, but to protect your rights and interests, the most important thing is to choose a reliable international moving company. When making your selection, compare multiple providers and don't be tempted by low prices. Many small companies quote very low prices to attract business, but you should know that the costs for cross-border moving are basically similar across companies. If you choose a company with a low quote, they will find various reasons to charge extra during subsequent services. Also, for cross-border moving to the US, the most cost-effective method is ocean shipping, which has the fewest transport restrictions and allows you to ship many items with peace of mind. The furniture and luggage Mr. Xu needs to ship this time, after packing, have a total volume of 11 cubic meters and can be shipped via shared container with other Seapoe clients to the East Coast of the United States. In terms of timing, ocean shipping plus customs declaration takes approximately 2 months in total.

To ensure the safety of the items during transport, Seapoe provides Mr. Xu with packing services that meet international moving standards. High-quality packing materials combined with skilled and professional packing techniques provide strong protection for Mr. Xu's items during long-distance transport.

2. For new immigrants shipping to New York, there is essentially no time limit on the arrival of items. As long as the visa or green card you hold meets the relevant regulations, you can proceed with customs clearance for personal belongings.
