Shared Container Shipping

If you aren't moving the volume of belongings to fill a whole shipping container we offer two great services enabling you to pay only for the space you need.

Individual wooden container (LCL) 

We will load your items into your own wooden container which will then be shipped within a shared steel container to your destination. With LCL services you only pay for the space you use and with frequent departures still benefit from a speedy door-to-door transit time if that's important to you.

Groupage

Your items are labelled and loaded in a shared container with other customers of Bournes moving to the same destination. As with LCL shipments this means you only pay for the space you need, but it can take a little longer door-to-door as we need to collect and load all the consignments sharing your container first. If speed isn't so important to you this is our most cost effective service for smaller moves.

Bournes International Removals to the USA

Our goal is to provide you with a cost-effective move and a great experience. We understand relocating to the USA from the UK can be stressful and that's why your dedicated move manager will guide you through the entire removals journey, helping you understand the process and the rules and regulations for shipping items to the USA. They will also assist you in putting together any  documentation you need, help you plan and keep you updated throughout. Our moving day crews are professionally trained in international standard packing to protect your precious items for transport over to America whether shipped by air or sea freight. 

Pre-vetted to the highest international removals standards

Customs Information for importing household goods to the USA

U.S. Customs and Border Protection are the government agency responsible for securing America's borders and the import of household goods into the USA. 

Shipments into the USA are required to clear customs and for security purposes imports are frequently subject to an X-ray security inspection by US customs. Your move manager will help you prepare all the documents required for customs clearance and will advise you on reducing the risks of any issues during inspection, including what restricted and prohibited items you should not be shipping. 

You can find out answers to some common questions for removals of household goods to America on the CBP website or just ask us, we're happy to help.

Our experience was very good. Our shipped belongings arrived intact, in reasonable time, and were so well-packaged it actually took longer than expected to unwrap them. Communications with both Bournes and their partners in the USA were excellent. Bournes were also flexible and worked with us within our budget. A positive experience.
