Case Overview: Mr. Wang entrusted Hippo International to transport his furniture items from Shanghai to Auckland, New Zealand by sea.

Auckland is the economic, cultural, shipping and tourism center of New Zealand, as well as the largest port city in New Zealand, and also one of the most developed cities in the world. Due to its developed economy, pleasant environment, high standard of living and charming scenery, Auckland has been rated as one of the most livable cities in the world for many years.

Mr. Wang's family in Shanghai was planning to move to New Zealand in February this year. Since they had a lot of things to move, they started to look for a professional international moving company to take care of their move to Auckland, New Zealand several months in advance. After comprehensively examining various factors such as service, price, reputation and service attitude of the staff, Mr. Wang finally chose our cross-border moving service.

Mr. Wang wanted to transport the furniture items of the whole house with three rooms and two bathrooms this time, so he decided to pack a 20-foot whole container. Full container transportation is more reassuring than consolidation because the container is filled with his own things, and he doesn't have to wait for the collection of goods, which is free and fast. Hipu's staff came to the door on the agreed date to pack all the furniture and luggage, and then transported Mr. Wang's furniture to Hipu's warehouse in Shanghai, where they made wooden crates to reinforce and protect some fragile and precious furniture items before loading the container in Hong Kong for shipment.

When many new immigrants start to prepare for cross-country moving, they are very confused about whether to transport furniture or not.

Xipu summarizes years of experience in shipping and moving, and analyzes which is more cost-effective for you to ship furniture abroad and directly abroad?

First, the price

1, (foreign furniture situation)
Migrant party abroad have a deep understanding of the original labor is expensive, the new crown after the manufacture of furniture prices are even higher. The basic model of the bed 1500USD, dining table 1300USD, three-person sofa 2000 +USD or so, but the style and quality are very general, even if it will be into the waiting period, not to mention, there is the purchase tax, delivery costs, furniture assembly costs and workers consumption, to the home to see actually still made in China.

2, (domestic furniture)
Compare the above similar bed and dining table about 2000RMB, three sofa RMB3500-5000, online and offline are in stock. Style can be based on vintage, Chinese, ins keywords to match the whole house furniture, or hand-drawn line drawings, 1:1 size reduction, the general work period in 7-40 days.

So from the price point of view, even if the immigrant party wants to change a brand new set of furniture, you can buy directly from the country, and then shipping abroad, the cost-effective as can be hit.

Second, in choosing whether to take the old furniture abroad, you can consider the following factors:

(1) those furniture in foreign countries do not, such as some precious Chinese furniture
(2) can not be disposed of those furniture
(3) Worrying about the high cost of purchasing abroad
(4) Unfamiliar with the foreign environment, the purchase will be quite troublesome
(5) Deep affection for the furniture used at home

For new immigrants, countries basically have a tax-free policy. For example, Australia's customs policy states that new immigrants or citizens living overseas can bring into (back to) Australia duty-free their own personal belongings and personal property owned and used in their place of residence for more than 12 months and above; and the U.S. policy stipulates that new immigrants can bring in duty-free their personal belongings and furniture that have been in use for more than one year. So as long as you qualify, you have an opportunity to transport your furniture overseas duty free.
