Mongolia International Moving Services

To make such a move, it is advisable to seek international moving services. This gives you the chance to have a hassle-free move and you will also have peace of mind that all details, big and small are being looked into and acted upon. You will also have confidence that your goods will be transported safely and that your car gets to Mongolia safely.
How Much Does It Cost to Move to Mongolia?
The cost of moving internationally to Mongolia can range anywhere from $2,000-$12,000 depending on a variety of factors such as the total distance, size of move, route, current market trends, and transportation method.
Moving across countries requires that you put in so much thought and consider a lot of financial obligations you may have to cover. The above listed, amidst several financial obligations, contribute to the cost of moving to Mongolia.
We do not want you to get surprised as to how international moving costs can be. This is why we want to prepare you for some expected and unexpected expenses you may face and how you can cut costs. They include:
Legal Fees
If you duly research the moving requirements of the country you're moving from, and to, you can fill out a visa and other customs documents yourself. However, using a legal officer or attorney to sort out the complexities of the documentation will be beneficial in your move to Mongolia. Their services, of course, come at a price.
Moving Insurance
You must have a policy that covers the value of your belongings while in transit in cases of loss, theft, or damage. Not all moving companies include insurance in their quoted price. You even need to check for what it covers and what it does not cover in the insurance policy of those who include it in their quoted price. It will ensure you know if you have insurance for the value of your goods. Also, the type of insurance policy you will adopt depends on your shipping needs. Ensure to get familiar with these policies and purchase adequate insurance.
Storage
The importance of storage when it comes to moving cannot be underestimated. You will need storage if you need some time in your new country to settle down before moving in your belongings or if your stay in the new country is temporary. Our storage services at Three Movers are the best as we ensure your goods remain in perfect condition while with us.

Import duties levied on shipments of household goods
According to one trusted source, your used household belongings can be imported without paying duty. In order to be awarded this exemption, you must have purchased them at least six months ago (and personally used them during this time period). You also must have resided outside of Mongolia for a minimum of the last 12 months.
Finally, you have just six months after entering the country, to bring in shipments free of any import duty. If you are fortunate enough to garner duty exemption, then you aren’t allowed to sell, lend out to others or get rid of these goods while in Mongolia (1).

Documents required for shipments of household goods
You must show a declaration form, your passport and the Original Bill of Lading or Air Waybill for the shipment. Your Residence Permit and a valid Employer Registration Certification are also required. Customs will also ask for a comprehensive inventory (2).
Your visa and a Power of Attorney should be provided as well. An Employer’s Request Letter may also be necessary. Finally, bear in mind that your Residence Permit must be good for at least 183 days from the current date (and be notarized). If you don’t have this document upon arrival in Mongolia, you’ll be granted one week to acquire it (3).
Import duties levied on vehicle shipments
There aren’t any duty exemptions available for vehicle imports, and you’ll pay the standard rate when it enters Mongolia. This is currently 5% of the vehicle’s value, which includes the cost of shipping and other unnamed fees. If you’re importing a passenger vehicle, then a separate excise tax will apply.
The rate for this excise tax is dependant upon the engine capacity and age of your vehicle. For example, a vehicle with less than 1,500 cc’s of power and which is only 2 years old, will incur excise tax of just $500 USD. In contrast, a vehicle with 5,000 cc’s of power which is 10 years old, will be charged excise tax of $13,000 USD (4).
In addition to import duty and excise tax (for passenger vehicles), a VAT of 10% is also charged. This rate is levied on the combined total of the vehicle’s value, import duties and excise taxes (5).

Documents required for vehicle shipments
Customs will not permit your vehicle to enter Mongolia, until you provide the required documentation. The purchase receipt, title and registration for the vehicle are all mandatory. You must also present proof of insurance coverage (or Insurance Certificate) and a valid driver’s license (6).
A complete list of the vehicle’s details is required as well, which should include the chassis and engine numbers, type of fuel it uses, make, model and size of the engine. Your Original Bill of Lading should also be submitted to customs (7).
Before shipping your valuable goods and/or vehicle to Mongolia, it’s important that you first give customs a call. They’ll be able to inform you regarding the many additional regulations that apply, which have not been covered here. Customs can also relate the latest developments, in terms of changes in their policy, paperwork and fee requirements.
