International Relocation During Coronavirus Pandemic
Relocating in the middle of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak could be risky. As most businesses are affected by this, it’s essential to seek answers and reviews if you are looking for an international relocation during this pandemic. You don’t have to worry about it, as we at SDC have got you covered. We have simplified the relocation process for you by listing all-important guidelines in one place.
Shipping is an essential service, and most countries are fully or partially operating their transportation services. You won’t face many issues while shipping to a new country. However, some rules have changed for safety purposes, and you need to know them all before you pack your bags. Need instant assistance? Contact SDC and get an immediate shipping quote from our team.
Is it possible to relocate to a new country during Coronavirus lockdown?
As most countries are operating their shipping businesses as usual, you will be able to ship your items from the USA to other countries. One thing to keep in mind is that most countries are shipping via sea routes, as the majority of governments have allowed ports to operate rather than airports.
If you are looking to move from the USA to Spain, the United Kingdom, Dubai, or other GCC countries, you won’t face any issues shipping your items from here. For safety reasons, most companies, including SDC, offer direct port-to-home item delivery, so you don’t have to go out to collect your items. In short, you can relocate during the coronavirus pandemic. According to WHO and federal guidelines, traveling during this outbreak may not be safe for older adults and children.
Is there a special policy for international relocation during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Shipping companies, including SDC, have changed their operational guidelines according to WHO and federal recommendations. As a passenger, it is mandatory to wear a mask while traveling to help counter the spread of infection.
As per the new guidelines, all company workers are required to follow social distancing rules, maintaining a distance of at least six feet while working. To ensure customers’ safety, contactless shipment delivery will be provided, where all your items will be shipped to your place. You need to sanitize them before you touch them for safety purposes.
In terms of operations, there is no major change in policies. Only air transportation is affected due to coronavirus, but you don’t have to worry, as all sea routes are working as usual.
New policies from different countries due to the new situation
Most countries have updated their shipping guidelines to promote social distancing and safety. As a passenger, you need to follow all general personal safety guidelines while traveling. Regarding the United Kingdom, as of now, they are allowing air shipping in their domestic network only. If you are moving from the USA to the UK, you need to ship your goods via sea routes.
The same thing applies to the GCC countries, as they are partially operating their air transportation system. Contact us to know the exact status of the country where you are planning to move. To learn about other countries, you can also visit their immigration website for more details. Check their updated list of items that are allowed to ship during this pandemic.
