Albania International Moving Services

When an individual or company moves their property and valuables from one country to another, the process is called relocation. Relocation or international moving is often characterized by long and sometimes complex processes. This brings about the need for international moving services provided by professional moving companies. If you would like to ship a car to Albania or move to your new office or apartment, you can have a stress-free move after hiring the services of a qualified moving company.

How Much Does It Cost to Move to Albania?

The cost of moving internationally to Albania can range anywhere from $2,000-$12,000 depending on various factors such as the size of the move, total distance, route, transportation method, and current market trends.

The above and many more are financial obligations that come with international moves to Albania and are significant factors that influence the moving costs. It goes beyond just packing your belongings and loading them on a truck. Liaising with a professional moving company will enlighten you on the ins and outs of international moving to Albania.

Furthermore, if you don't want to do the packing and unpack yourself, your professional moving company could also handle it. This would only mean that you would be paying more for this service. And it would add up to your final moving costs.

Other expenses you would have to cover that might increase your moving costs are as follows:

Legal fees

Moving to international countries requires that you fill out lots of paperwork that might be difficult to understand. This is why you might need to hire an attorney who understands these and would guide you through them. Mind you, your attorney's services would also influence your moving costs.

Moving Insurance

You obviously want your belongings to arrive in Albania in perfect condition. As such, you must purchase insurance that fits your specific needs and covers your potential losses. For example, shipping by sea requires that you purchase a maritime insurance policy. Please don't assume your moving company will automatically include insurance in their estimates, so you should check with them.

Miscellaneous

These are things that we tend to overlook at times. For example, you might need new furniture for your home in Albania. You might as well need to get new clothes if the climate in Albania is different from the one in your old country.

Moving to Albania Cost & Time Examples

*Please note that these estimates do not include taxes, customs fees & duties, insurance & quarantine inspections. They assume easy access to both pick up and drop-off addresses and do not allow for special items such as pianos.

Estimated Weight (based on home size): 1BR=2600 lbs - 3900 lbs 2BR=3900 lbs - 5200 lbs 3BR=6500 lbs - 9100 lbs 4BR=9100 lbs - 14300 lbs 5BR=11700 lbs - 19500 lbs

Duties on your household goods

Albanian customs allows you to be exempted from the regular import duties, if you obtain an authorization letter. You’re also required to have both owned and used these items, for at least the last six months. Having lived outside of Albania for one year or longer is also mandatory, and your shipment must enter the country no later than six months after you relocate (1).

Other regulations apply, like the need for you to already be in Albania when your shipment arrives. Contact Albanian customs to learn more.

Paperwork for your household goods

You’ll need to show customs your passport and a comprehensive inventory. This should include the monetary values of your items, be written in Albanian and bear your signature and the date. You also need to provide a Work Certificate from your employer, and the employer identification number of taxable person (NIPT) they have on file for you (2).

Other necessary documentation includes your Residence Permit, Work Permit and an Authorization from the General Directory of Customs. Your Original Bill of Lading or Air Waybill should also be submitted (3). This is not a complete list of the paperwork required - so speak to Albanian customs to see what other documentation you’ll need to provide.

Duties and paperwork for your vehicle

Whether duties are levied on vehicles during importation, isn’t stated by reputable sources. Therefore, it’s recommended that you contact Albanian customs directly, to see what fees will apply in your situation.

You will need to give customs your vehicle’s title and registration, as well as a copy of your driver’s license. Either your Original Bill of Lading or Air Waybill are also required. This must have the year, chassis and engine numbers, make, model and size of the engine listed. Proof of ownership in the form of a purchase receipt or invoice is also needed (4).

Additional regulations apply to the importation of vehicles, so speak with customs to ensure you’re following all the required guidelines.

Tips on how to make your international move easier
