As experienced international movers, we will walk you through everything you need to know about selecting reliable international movers, from understanding different service types and pricing models to preparing your belongings for international removals and meeting customs requirements.
Understanding International Moving Services in Australia
International removals to Australia require expert knowledge and coordination. International moving companies must follow strict rules set by the Australian Border Force and work closely with their global partners to ensure everything runs smoothly. These companies also need to understand complex logistics and stay compliant with regulations from the Department of Home Affairs and other authorities. A reliable mover will have the experience and network to manage every step of the process across countries and continents.
At DeWitt Move Worldwide we coordinate with both our in-house international moving experts and our international partners to navigate customs regulations and ensure timely, compliant delivery of your goods. Understanding these requirements early in your planning process helps ensure compliance and prevents costly delays during your overseas move.
Types of International Moving Companies
- Full-service international removal companies like DeWitt Move Worldwide offer start-to-finish relocation services, including professional packing, shipment tracking, and unpacking at your new home. With dedicated move managers, they guide you through each phase of your international relocation, ensuring all paperwork, logistics, and timing are on track.
- Container-based services are budget-friendly for small loads, but lack the white-glove service, protection, and professional handling offered by companies like DeWitt.

Difference Between Full-Service and Self-Pack Options
Full-service international removal packages include professional packing, loading, transportation, customs clearance, and delivery services. Your dedicated move manager coordinates every aspect of your international relocation from initial planning through final delivery. This comprehensive approach minimizes stress and ensures all aspects of your move are handled by experienced professionals familiar with international moves requirements.
Self-pack options allow you to handle packing personally while the moving company manages transportation and logistics aspects. You receive packing materials and guidance on proper packing techniques for international shipping requirements. This option typically costs less but requires significant time investment and careful attention to customs regulations and packing standards.

Essential Factors to Consider When Choosing International Movers
Selecting the right international removal service requires careful evaluation of multiple factors that directly impact your moving experience. The complexity of international relocations demands expertise in customs regulations, shipping logistics, and destination country requirements. Your choice of moving company significantly influences the success and stress level of your entire overseas move experience.
Licensing and Insurance Requirements for Australian International Movers
Before hiring any international moving company, make sure they meet key industry requirements to protect your move and your belongings. Here’s what to look for:
- Proper licensing and insurance – Your mover should hold all necessary international freight licenses and carry both shipment and liability insurance.
- Industry affiliations – Look for memberships with reputable organizations like the International Association of Movers (IAM), which hold companies to high standards and offer customer protections such as dispute resolution.
At DeWitt Move Worldwide, we meet all of these criteria. We’re fully licensed and insured, providing peace of mind throughout your move. As an IAM member, we follow strict industry standards to ensure professionalism, accountability, and reliable service—every step of the way.
