Tuvalu International Moving Services

Tuvalu is commonly known for its small size and the fact that it is nearly submerged by seawater. Experts predict that in the next 50 years, this island will be no more - that the waters will have swallowed it. Despite these forecasts, A-1 Auto transport fully operates in this small country because we understand that everyone must get the services they require wherever they are in the planet. If you need your car shipped safely we will ensure it is done within the shortest time possible.

Import duties and documents for household goods

Unfortunately, there isn’t any solid information available concerning the duties or documents required by Tuvalu, for foreigners planning to move to this tiny island nation. Located in Oceania, as of the census conducted in 2012, Tuvalu has just over 10,000 inhabitants in all. These citizens are spread out over the 6 atolls and 3 islands that make up Tuvalu (1). With such a small country (in both population and land area), it’s understandable that facts about its governmental policies are hard to come by.

If you’re planning to relocate to Tuvalu and bring a shipment of household belongings with you, then it’s highly recommended that you contact the proper authorities within Tuvalu before proceeding. You’ll need to speak with Customs and Taxation Control, which is a department of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (2). They should be able to provide you with more information about your specific situation.

Import duties and documents for vehicles

According to one reputable source, there are only roughly five miles of roadways in the entire nation of Tuvalu. In the capital of Funafuti (which is both an atoll and a city), the roads were paved over fifteen years ago. Any roads present on other atolls or islands within Tuvalu are composed of dirt or other materials (3).

With such a lack of roads, importing a vehicle during your move may not be practical. It also may not be permitted, so you should discuss your plans with customs to learn more. They’ll also be able to inform you about any import documents or duties that may be required.

When relocating to Tuvalu, partnering with a knowledgeable international moving company like A1 Auto Transport is also wise. We can help guide you through the process, and ensure that all of the proper procedures are followed.

How do you make your international move easier?

Most of our customers have expressed their fears in moving overseas and others opt for disposing their valuables rather than going through the hectic process of moving.

There is a process involved in moving abroad; with a few clearances to be done before-hand. You need to get everything that you are moving with, into one collection point. This will not only help you save on time and effort, it will make it easy for you to pack and even get a quotation before moving. A professional mover will walk you through the process and ensure that you have a stress-free experience.

A-1 Auto Transport can help you move your household goods internationally. Call 888-509-3213 to get a free, no obligation to buy price quote on interstate moving services.

Why you need a professional moving company when relocating overseas

You can never understand how important a professional mover is to you until you get there. Those that have tried to do it on their own have come back regretting. You don’t have to try it, allow someone who has the experience and the know-how to do all this for you. The international regulations can easily throw you off balance and ultimately make you give up on the entire process. Our Tuvalu International Moving Services are designed to make your relocation completely hassle-free.

How to find the best international moving company

The moving service industry is full of quacks and intermediaries who are out to fleece you. A good moving company must have the accreditation to do business both locally and internationally. This company should have done business for a while and must show proof that they have rendered similar services in nearly all countries of the world. A genuine moving company will have presence in all countries and possess a certificate of shipping. The company you choose should ensure that you and your items are insured in case of anything. You absolutely need a professional who is trustworthy and doesn’t gamble with what you love. This is the pledge we make with our Tuvalu International Moving Services. We offer you top quality services that will leave you completely satisfied.

Satisfied Customers

“I was asked by my partner to call A1 Auto Transport, though I was hesitant to speak with call center agents since I had bad experiences with them. Believe me, I find it really stressful to deal with them. Some would even tell you things you want to hear just to make you get off the phone, but they won't fulfil their promises. When I spoke with A1 about getting a car to Idaho, I was thinking it was going to be the same experience, but I was surprised. Their way of communication was entirely different. It was a seamless process. This made me think being a valued client can still be felt. My partner even thanked me since all his requests were processed the way he wanted. He thought I was assertive enough, since his requests were so specific. A1 Auto Transport made it easy for me. Can't think of any complaints.”

“I bought a Dodge COE recently in Texas, so I was looking for a company to transport it to Mississippi. After putting a few ads, tens of companies called and spammed us with emails, but none of them were what we were looking for. Each one seemed a bit off. The quote was either too big or suspiciously low; some were just unfriendly and unlikable, while others reeked of a scam. Finally, I told my sister about my situation and she recommended Joe’s company. A1 Auto Transport met all our criteria. Joe has impeccable communication skills. He was friendly, explained the transport details, and gave us a bunch of options for our vehicle. These differed depending on the type of truck we wanted to use. We went with an open carrier in the end due to the lower price. Finally, the truck arrived. It had an open trailer carrying 3 other vehicles. The driver explained they were all heading to Mississippi, so they wouldn’t delay our transport. I got my car back 3 days later, a bit earlier than they estimated. But hey, if you’re going to complain about faster service, then it’s not the company for you. For all those who prefer professionalism, and awesome services, I highly recommend it!”

I highly recommend it

“Moving to Oregon was one of the most stressful experiences I ever went through. The moving company was a pain to find and a bigger pain to work with. They arrived late and took forever to load my belongings. The only thing that went well was A1 Auto Transport, the team I called to transport my car. The contrast between them and the other guys was incredible. Joe was very polite and well mannered. He listened to my request carefully then offered several options for me to choose from. He indicated the cheapest would be using an open carrier, to which I agreed wholeheartedly. He scheduled for one of his trucks to arrive 2 days later, between 2 pm and 5 pm. It arrived at around 4 pm at the nearby supermarket parking lot that we set as a meeting point. The roads near my home would never allow a truck of that size to fit in, so we agreed to meet there. I sent my son with the car to take care of everything, since I was busy with the moving company. He returned an hour later saying everything went smoothly and he really liked the driver. Four days later, while we were unpacking, the truck also arrived in Oregon with our car. The driver was professional, always smiling and patient enough to wait while we inspected the vehicle. There was nothing to report, not a scratch on it, so we ended our transaction well. I’m happy to recommend A1 Auto Transport to everyone and wish more companies would be like it.”

“To whom it may concern: I currently work out of the Auto Driveaway Co - Atlanta, Georgia location. At this moment I would like to take this time to say "THANK YOU" to one of your representatives Ms. Cherie Morse. Repeatedly she has presented herself ( and a reflection on A1 Auto Transport ) to be quite capable to me - promptly answering my questions ( mostly quotes @ competitive rates ) and assisting me in tracking down those trucking movements - done in the past. Unlike other companies wherein I get a "machine" and MIGHT get an answer back that day - Even with her voice mail, her response is immediate and for the want of nothing else, I wanted someone to know at A1 Auto Transport that I "at least" sincerely appreciate all her efforts. Thank you again. Sincerely, Phillip Raila Auto Driveaway Company, Atlanta”

“Last year I wanted to ship my car to Alaska. I researched several companies online and got more and more discouraged after reading the reviews. It seemed I had to expect the worse, and I was getting a bit paranoid. Thank God I found A1 Auto Transport. Many of its reviews praised the team’s responsiveness and speed. I didn’t want to waste time pointlessly, so this caught my attention. I got quotes from several companies, but went with A1 in the end. It was a pleasure to work with Joe. He kept his word, answered all my questions, got a truck at my door the next day, and updated me on my car’s status throughout the process. He was very professional. Any questions I had, he answered them fully. This really helped clear the fog in my head. The company was attentive to weather and road conditions, so my vehicle arrived in Alaska on time and intact. They had to make a small detour at one point due to an accident up ahead. They informed immediately. Even so, the car still arrived at the expected time.”

Thank God I found A1 Auto Transport.
