International Moving

Short Banner Form (Don't Track This)

Relocating across the globe is a complex logistical undertaking that requires more than just transport; it requires an intricate understanding of global trade lanes, customs regulations, and specialized export packing. U.Santini Moving & Storage provides comprehensive international moving services, acting as your single point of contact from the initial survey in Brooklyn to the final delivery at your overseas residence.

As experienced international movers in Brooklyn, we have spent decades building a network of global partners and mastering the paperwork necessary to clear your shipment through foreign ports. We handle the heavy lifting of global logistics so you can focus on your new life abroad.

End-to-End International Moving Services

A successful move abroad is built on meticulous planning. Our international movers provide a structured process designed to mitigate the risks associated with long-distance ocean or air freight.

  • Customs Documentation & Compliance: Every country has a unique set of import laws and restricted items. We guide you through the preparation of bills of lading, inventory lists, and customs declaration forms to ensure your shipment avoids unnecessary delays or fines.
  • Export-Grade Packing: Standard moving boxes aren’t enough for the rigors of sea travel. We use moisture-resistant materials, heavy-duty wrapping, and custom wooden crating for high-value items to withstand environmental shifts and the rigors of global transport.
  • Air vs. Sea Freight Options: Depending on your timeline and volume, we offer flexible shipping methods. Whether you need an expedited air shipment for essentials or a cost-effective full-container load (FCL) for an entire household, we tailor the transit to your needs.
  • Global Port Coordination: We manage the hand-off to vetted local agents at your destination, ensuring that the same high standard of care you received in Brooklyn is maintained during the final unloading and setup in your new country.

With nearly a century of experience rooted in New York, U.Santini brings a level of institutional knowledge that few other companies can match. We treat your international relocation with the gravity it deserves, providing clear communication and professional oversight across every time zone.

First time using U. Santini and we had a really great experience. Everyone was professional, efficient, and easy to work with. The team handled our fragile items carefully and packed up the apartment in a surprisingly short amount of time. It was clear they had a good system and everyone knew exactly what they were doing. Parking was awful that day because of nearby road construction, but they somehow found a spot quickly and handled the whole thing without needing us to get involved which we really appreciated. Shoutout to Charles for being our point of contact and making communication easy, and to John, Anthony, Mike, Issam, and Salin for all the hard work. They made moving day much less stressful than we expected. We’ll definitely be recommending U santini to all our friends!

Couldn’t recommend our experience with USantini more. Charles in the office, then Mario and his crew (Andrew, Luis, and Anthony Peru) were efficient, quick and polite. From the first moment, I felt confident and comfortable having them handle my belongings. Our move was quite straightforward and we had pre packed basically everything, so it was just a matter of bringing things down, and then bringing them up to the new apartment. They arrived in old place by 9 and were completely done at the new place by 12. They had originally estimated 6hrs, so we were pleased it was much faster than that. Even though moving is always stressful, I didn’t feel any stress during the actual moving part, as it was all so easy. Will recommend U Santini to every friend and loved one that moves, and I look forward to hiring them again in the future.

Had a great move with U Santini! I did a local full-service move of a 1-bed apartment for ~$1200. Super easy to schedule an in-person estimate, and my total ended up being lower than the estimate. My moving team (Mario, Andres and Antony) were efficient and packed all my things with care, wrapping all my furniture and disassembling+reassembling my bed frame. Highly recommend!! I've never had an easier move.

All of the folks at U Santini Made our move smooth and easy! My husband and I signed our lease with exactly one week to pack and move (locally, about 3 miles) A bunch of folks from a local organization recommended U Santini and we could not be happier to pass that recommendation on to others. They organized a video walkthrough of our current space to get a sense of the scale and what items we were taking and communicated the estimate quickly. The team texted us the morning of with estimated arrival time (they arrived exactly at the minute they said they would). We had John, Mike, and Salin moving our 1 bedroom apartment and they were absolute experts, packing our furniture with care and speed while also directing traffic around the truck. They were all incredibly friendly, managed to get our king sized mattress down a very cramped stairwell and took some extra boxes on the truck with them that didn’t fit in our vehicle. They finished the job in four hours (way under the estimate), treated all of our items with upmost care, and set everything up exactly as we wanted. They also made sure to call once the truck got back to the company to check in and make sure everything went smoothly since the move went quicker than expected. We will definitely be using them for any future moves and recommending them to everyone we know!

I never thought I would say that moving was easy, but they really made it feel easy. They were on time, professional, communicative, and speedy! Would highly recommend!

This was my first time hiring professional movers and it was a game-changer. Team Sosa helped with my move (huge shout-out to Super Mario!!!!) and they were unbelievable. Immediately upon introducing themselves, I felt comfortable and reassured that they would move my things with care and thoughtfulness. I give their service a grade-Excellent. Truly, I am so grateful to them and will definitely be using Team Sosa at U.Santini if and when I move next. I would also like to shout-out Charles, my main liaison at the company, who helped manage everything from COIs / estimates – super speedy and a delight to work with. Thanks again for everything!

My family has been using U. Santini for years, and I’ve now used them myself twice. They’ve been exceptional every time. The whole process is easy from start to finish. Everyone I’ve worked with to organize the move has been helpful and responsive, and on moving day the crews come ready to work. They’re efficient, careful, meticulous with your belongings, and always seem to have exactly the right number of people to get everything done smoothly. Super Mario, Andres, Luis, and Gabino helped me with my move today, and they were fantastic. They were so kind, hardworking, and willing to help with absolutely anything I needed. Nothing felt like too much trouble — they just took care of it. Moving can be stressful, but U. Santini makes the process feel organized and manageable. I will be using them for all my moving needs in the future and highly recommend them. Thank you to everyone at U. Santini!!

This was my first time using movers in NYC and I’ll never look at their competitors for any future moves. U. Santini went above and beyond to help us move. From the initial consultation with Charles to moving day with Luis and Toni, everything was great. Our movers were absolutely phenomenal, nice, efficient and punctual. U. Santini operates under an hourly based structure which is so much better and more flexible than a per item move. No pressure tactics and just professional. Stop looking and just hire them.

The best. They moved us out. Stored our stuff. And moved us in. And they stay and I wrap all the furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are open from Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM–5 PM, but feel free to contact us through our contact form anytime. We’ll get back to you ASAP.

Absolutely! We offer various types of insurance to protect your belongings, including a full replacement option. The cost depends on how much your things are worth and the deductible you choose.

It’s a good idea to book your moving company at least 8 weeks before your move. If you’re moving during the holidays or in the summer, it’s best to schedule it 12 weeks ahead. But if your move is between September and May, you can often book movers with just 2 weeks’ notice. The key is to secure your moving crew as soon as you have all the details about your move.

Weekdays, particularly Tuesday or Wednesday, are often the best days to schedule your move. These days typically see lower demand for moving services, meaning you might secure better rates and more flexible time slots. Additionally, traffic tends to be lighter during weekdays compared to weekends, which can help reduce travel time and stress. U.Santini is open weekdays from 7:30 am to 5 pm to best serve you.
