Guidelines for Premove Packing & Preparation

Many customers worry about preparing their household goods for export. Here are some tips to help make the job easier and your move as smooth as possible

Separate items that are for your air and sea shipment, or leave behind

Separate goods from what to move and what definitely need with you before you 　　 receiving your shipment (passports, tickets, flight bags, current used clothes, 　　 emergency files, medicine, etc…)

Ask for cartons and packing materials from KMI by complete Packing Materials 　　 Request Form if you intend to pack some of your personal belongs in advance

The rule of thumb here is small, heavy articles such as books, records, canned goods 　　 etc. would go in smaller boxes; Bulkier but not-so-heavy articles, such as pots and 　　 pans, linens, small kitchen utensils etc. would go in somewhat larger boxes. Very 　　 bulky lightweight articles such as blankets, pillows, stuffed toys, large lampshades, 　　 shoes etc. would go into largest boxes.

Cover white paper and make necessary cushion inside of each carton before you place 　　 things into

Leave all packed cartons open. KMI packers are liable to check the packing condition 　　 and add more protection when necessary

Mark goods content clearly on external of each carton

Do not pack any fragile/liquid/electronics/bulky/heavy items by yourself, leave it to 　　 KMI packing crew for professional protection & handling

Do not pack any antique decoration/furniture, which must be inspected by Relic 　　 Officers before packing

Do not pack any prohibited or restricted items in your destination country, 　　 generally it refers to drugs, pornographic materials, arms, ammunition or similar 　　 articles and should there be any doubt, KMI will advise a course of action to be 　　 taken

Do not pack for moving on any flammables or explosives or corrosive goods such as 　　 aerosol spray cans, paint thinner, gasoline or anything else of a flammable or 　　 explosive nature

Do not pack any putrescibles, dispose them before moving

Leave everything at its original position in your house, it’s easier for us to pack 　　 this way

One the packing day, check every room and cupboard before we leave to make sure 　　 nothing is left behind

Keep all keys for trunks/suitcases with you safely, and have them available at 　　 destination for the customs inspection when requested
