International Moving FAQs
How much does international moving from Los Angeles cost?
International moves from Los Angeles typically cost $3,000–$8,000 for a 1-bedroom shipment via ocean freight (FCL), $5,000–$15,000 for a 2–3 bedroom home, and $300–$2,500 for small shipments (LCL/groupage). Air freight is faster but costs 3–5x more than ocean.
How long does international moving take from Los Angeles?
Ocean freight from LA to Europe: 20–35 days. To Australia/NZ: 25–40 days. To Asia: 15–25 days. Air freight: 5–10 days worldwide. We provide a transit time estimate at booking based on current shipping schedules.
Does Ironmen handle customs for international moves?
Yes. Our international team prepares all required export customs documentation and works with licensed customs brokers at destination for import clearance. Import duties and taxes vary by country and are the customer's responsibility.
What is FCL vs LCL international shipping?
FCL (Full Container Load) means exclusive use of a 20ft or 40ft shipping container. LCL (Less than Container Load) shares container space with other shipments at lower cost but longer transit. For a 2-bedroom home or larger, FCL is typically more secure and cost-effective.
