Moving to Hawaii from California
Seeking a serene escape from California’s high business tax rates or frequent natural disasters? Look no further than SDC International Shipping to facilitate your seamless transition to the enchanting Aloha State of Hawaii.
If you are planning to relocate to Hawaii from California with your household items and vehicles, we offer efficient ocean freight services using a single container—a choice between a 20-foot or 40-foot container to accommodate your belongings.
Alternatively, you can opt for a shared container for your household goods, where you only pay for the space your items occupy. This cost-effective option is ideal for smaller cargo shipments, ensuring affordability without compromising on quality service.

Cost of Shipping from California to Hawaii?
When it comes to shipping from California to Hawaii, the expenses can vary based on several factors specific to your shipment. Shipping a studio or one-bedroom load will typically cost less than transporting the contents of a 2-3 bedroom home. Additionally, opting for a single container shipment will incur higher costs compared to sharing a container with others. It’s important to consider additional moving-related costs like packing and crating in your overall budget.
Here are some services you can expect:
- Door-to-door delivery
- Door-to-port
- Port-to-port
Our process involves picking up your container and transporting it to the port warehouse. Once all necessary documentation is prepared and your shipment passes inspection, your cargo will be loaded onto the vessel for transport to Hawaii.
At SDC International Shipping, we strive to provide transparent pricing tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a smooth and efficient shipping experience from California to Hawaii.

Moving Petes to Hawaii
Preparing to move your pets to Hawaii requires thorough planning due to the stringent regulations imposed by the state. Hawaii mandates several requirements, including vaccination, microchipping, rabies testing, tick treatment, and obtaining special permission to import your dog or cat into the state.
One significant aspect to note is that pets entering Hawaii typically undergo a quarantine period of 120 days. However, there is a chance that your furry companion may qualify for a shorter quarantine period, possibly as brief as a week or even less if all requirements are met.
The key points are:
– Hawaii is rabies-free and has strict requirements to import pets, including vaccinations, microchipping, rabies blood tests, and health certificates. [1][2][3][4]
– Pets can qualify for either a Direct Airport Release program or a 5-Day Or Less quarantine program if all requirements are met. Otherwise, they may face up to 120 days of quarantine. [1][2][3][4]
– Certain animals like snakes are prohibited from being brought to Hawaii. Owners should verify their pet is allowed before starting the import process. [3]
– The process can be complex and expensive, costing between $200-$1,500 per pet depending on factors like species, size, and airline. Planning well in advance is recommended. [2][3][5]
– There are some exceptions, such as for service animals and pets from specific rabies-free countries. But in general, all dogs and cats must comply with Hawaii’s strict import requirements. [2][4]
So in summary, yes the information provided in the search results accurately reflects the current 2024 requirements and process for moving pets to Hawaii. Careful planning and following the proper procedures is essential.
