An international move is an exciting opportunity to begin anew, whether it involves starting a business, reconnecting with family, retiring in a more budget-friendly location, or finding a place with the perfect climate.
SDC International Shipping, Inc. is an international moving company with a global presence and an extensive network. We take pride in our commitment to ensuring the seamless transportation of your personal belongings to your new home. While each move is unique, our dedication to the safe delivery of our clients' shipments never wavers.
Many factors go into the cost of an international move.
Your relocation specialist will be able to give you a tailored estimate for your specific needs. This includes rates for all extra services, the estimated port fees, and DTHC (destination terminal handling charges), a standard on international shipping.
SDC is an international moving company that facilitates any shipping need. Call us to give us the details of your move, and we will create an estimate for you based upon your specific moving needs.
If you are sending household goods and personal effects, you will most likely be interested in our door-to-door service.
SDC International Shipping, Inc. is a door-to-door international moving company in Los Angeles, California. We ship door-to-door from the USA to your international destination of choice. Each year, we handle hundreds of moves from origin locations across the United States to different locations worldwide.
Door-to-door household relocation isn’t the only service we successfully operate every day. We receive commercial shipments in ports or warehouses, called port-to-door service. In this case, clients will typically deliver their goods from their homes to the port, and then our logistics coordinators will arrange customs clearance and transportation to the final destination. There are other instances where clients prefer to pick up their belongings from the port, called door-to-port service. Be careful if you opt for this service. Many countries require household items and vehicles to undergo inspection and localization at facilities near the entry point. Unless you have done this yourself many times and are familiar with the exact import process at your destination port, choose a door-to-door service.
What if you are moving overseas from the USA, but you don’t have a destination address yet? Many people move to another country before they find a place to live.
Sometimes this doesn’t present a problem, as it takes several weeks from the time your things are loaded from your home in the United States until they are delivered to your final destination. This gives you enough time to contract a residence.
As a specialist in international moving and storage, SDC International Shipping maintains storage warehouses in the United States and worldwide. We will coordinate the choice of your storage location with your relocation specialist.
Our shipping and storage services are a good fit for people going overseas temporarily, like academics and business people. For them, we can store a portion of their belongings in our local warehouse and send what they need to their overseas location.
Moving overseas is different from relocating from one state to another within the US. For example, when you move from California to the UK, you need to confirm a long list of laws and regulations, including immigration laws, shipping materials, and taxation.
Sometimes these are trivial things; at other times, you need to pay close attention, or your shipment could be held up for several weeks until you sort it out, all the while being charged fees at the destination port.
Hiring international packers and movers gives you more time to concentrate on essential things like visas and settling other things before you relocate. SDC International Shipping is a global moving company with an experienced team of professional packers. Our packers use only approved packaging materials for international shipments, including wood, cloth, and carton. We will also help you prepare an accurate packing list and inventory, which is a must no matter your destination country.
SDC International Shipping frequently utilizes air shipping for client shipments. This option proves to be highly advantageous when the cargo is relatively small or when time is of the essence. Our commercial clients find this service particularly beneficial, as air shipping is known for its speed and efficiency, ensuring door-to-door delivery in just a matter of days. However, it is important to note that air shipping comes with a significant drawback – its high cost. Due to this factor, it may not be a practical choice for complete household moves.
SDC International Shipping understands the significance of delivering top-notch service to our clients while simultaneously minimizing costs. To address this objective, we have devised a method called groupage consolidation for shipping. When individuals need to send a relatively small volume, typically a few hundred cubic feet, their shipments are directed to consolidators. These consolidators merge multiple loads heading to the same port, creating an efficient system that we actively utilize ourselves. It is worth noting that this approach is not flawed; in fact, it has proven to be highly effective in streamlining our operations.
However, as our client base has grown, we have made these groupage containers ourselves. As a high-capacity international moving company to Europe, we can take advantage of economies of size and pass the savings along to our clients.
Although collaborating with consolidators is an efficient approach, it often results in additional fees due to the necessary handling involved. At SDC International Shipping, we have devised a solution to mitigate these costs. By fully utilizing the space within our containers, we can capitalize on the leftover room, much like consolidators do. The key distinction, however, is that since we handle the consolidation process ourselves, you are not subjected to additional charges for consolidation and deconsolidation. This allows us to provide a more cost-effective and streamlined shipping experience for our clients.
Another great advantage of this system is that it will allow you to take any amount of cargo. If you are moving to a four-bedroom home, for example, your things probably won’t fit into a 20’ container, but a 40’ container will have lots of empty room (not recommended), and you will be paying for the open space. So even if you have a significant move, groupage consolidations can reduce your overall shipment costs.
These guys are the most professional, friendly and efficient lovers I’ve ever used. I like the team so much I requested them a second time within a few weeks when I needed to move into my permanent residence. Highly recommend. First class

They were able to move our items without any lacking items and nothing has been damaged to our furniture. They really take good care of it, despite some delays on the way to our new place. All in all, it was a great, stress-free move we had with them. We highly recommend SDC to everyone

Hi everyone! I want to share with you my good experience with SDC International Shipping. Our items in a 20ft container arrived safely in Mexico today from LA. Nothing was damaged. Everyone – my shipping coordinator, packing, and removal guys were very helpful. Great service and price.
