A Little Knowledge Can Go a Long Way
When it comes to knowing what their clients can and cannot take into a particular country is one of the most critical pieces of the puzzle. Here is a short list of things virtually any country in the world will not allow you to bring in with you or in your household goods.
Firearms – this includes all handgun and most rifles with the exception of approved hunting weapons (you must have all of the appropriate paperwork).
Alcoholic Beverages – this includes, spirits, liqueurs, wines, meads, beer, and any other type of beverage of product containing even trace amounts of alcohol such as pure vanilla extract.
Controlled Substances – this includes both legal (prescription drugs unless you have them pre-approved and the right paperwork) and illegal substances. Violating this could cost you years in a foreign prison and thousands of dollars.
Literature – this may include religious and political books, pamphlets, etc. and many works of fact or fiction deemed to be unacceptable.
Along with learning what you can and cannot bring with you to your new home, you and your family must learn about the culture where you will be living. According to many international moving companies, you may find it necessary to make changes to your lifestyle in order to “be accepted” in your new country. Be sure you can accept any changes needed before you make the move.
