Hi everyone,

My partner and I will be moving to Portugal next month since we just found out several days ago that my partner finally got a job offer there.

We are still looking for an international moving company to help ship our stuff to Portugal. If you know of any good and reliable moving company, let us know!

Help I am also in the same boat. I have contacted a few companies here in Montreal and the shipping charges are outrageous! Twice even three times the amount I was quoted in Lisbon. . .

I have now learned that when you move here with a Residency or Work Visa, any property you ship in the first year is duty free. I believe that shipping firms are adding in the duty, which is raising their estimates and our costs. Advise your shipping firms it will be duty free.

Mudanzas internacionales a cualquier parte del mundo.
El marco de actuación de Cunha International está condicionado tanto por su prestigio, como por su história. La presencia en el ámbito internacional desde hace más de Veinte años nos permiten ofrecerle servicios de alta calidad en mudanzas y traslados, desde o hasta cualquier punto del planeta.

Cunha International
Es una compañía española líder en mudanzas y transportes internacionales. Cuenta con la colaboración de los más eficaces corresponsales mundiales, cuidadosamente seleccionados para llevar a cabo los servicios necesarios de embalaje o desembalaje de forma idónea y con la mayor calidad.
Servicios terrestres, marítimos, aéreos, combinados, desde cualquier punto de U.S.A. hacia España o desde cualquier otro lugar del mundo - incluso entre terceros países - se realizan siempre con un trato exclusivo durante los 365 días del año.
El proceso es muy similar al que se efectúa en traslados y mudanzas nacionales: Inspección técnica previa para revisar todos los detalles de las mudanzas, confección de presupuesto de acuerdo a las particularidades del traslado, reserva de fechas, embalaje y recogida en el domicilio de origen, transporte por la vía elegida hasta el país de destino y desembalaje en la nueva vivienda, de tal manera que quedan ultimados todos los términos contemplados en el contrato firmado por el cliente y el nuevo hogar está listo para ser habitado.

Facilitamos, además, el asesoramiento necesario en cuanto a la legislación de los diferentes países, normas internacionales obligatorias o recomendadas, tramitación de documentos administrativos o aduaneros que son pertinentes en cada caso, etc.


To or from any part of the world, 365 days of the year.
The way in which Cunha International operates owes as much to its development as to its desire to maintain the level of prestige which its name implies. Its capacity to offer a high quality service in removals to or from any part of the world is a result of its presence in the international market for over forty years.


Cunha International is a Spanish company which leads its sector and counts on collaboration with most efficient correspondent companies worldwide which have been carefully chosen to carry out the necessary services of individualized wrapping and unwrapping to the highest standard.
Removals by land, sea, air, or combined, from Spain or from any other part of the world, including between other two countries, are carried out with an exclusive level of service 365 days of the year.
The process is very similar to that for national removals: a prior technical inspection to go over all the details of the removal; the drawing up of an agreement with regard to the details of the shipment, wrapping and collection from the point of origin; transport by the means chosen to the destination country; unwrapping and installation in the new residence so that all the details set down in the contract are carried out and the new residence is ready for habitation.

Cunha International also provides a service of legal advice with regard to legal requirements in different countries, both recommended and obligatory international regulations, and the processing of customs and administrative documentation relevant to each case

Your note mentions moving from the US, not Canada. Can you tell me how your friends handled the customs process in Portugal, if they moved from the US, and how the company packed their US goods?

We want to move some household items from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA to Cascais, Portugal. These items include two adult bicycles and 6 boxes that are each about 40cm long x 35cm high and 30cm wide. We can make the boxe sizes larger or smaller. We want to move these items in June 2012. They can be sent as sea cargo because we find cost more important than fastest transport. What do I need to do next? What information do you need to provide an estimate? Can you instruct me about how to pack things, or what it would cost for you to pack them?
