Euroremovals is a professional Moving Company from Ireland to Italy operating in Europe since 2003. Embarking on the adventure of moving to Italy with Euroremovals is an exhilarating and rewarding endeavor, yet it’s one that comes with its own set of challenges and obstacles. For many world travelers, the most daunting of these is the task of transporting personal effects across borders—a complex process that demands meticulous planning, foresight, and can incur significant expenses.

Here’s a breakdown of the various parties you’ll likely engage with when shipping from Ireland to Italy:

• International Mover: This entity will be your primary contact, handling the bulk of the relocation process for you, including packing, shipping, customs clearance, and delivery within Italy. Typically, they are the sole organization you’ll compensate to ensure the completion of the task, and they’ll serve as your main point of communication throughout the process.
• Origin Agent: Often hired or subcontracted by the international mover, the origin agent’s role is to visit your residence prior to your move to assist in generating a more precise estimate and to supervise the packing of your possessions on the day of the move.
• Freight Forwarder: Serving as an intermediary between the moving company and transportation providers, freight forwarders don’t physically move your items but are tasked with overseeing their import and export along with the corresponding regulations.
• Consolidated Warehouse: Should your belongings not suffice to fill an entire shipping container, they may be temporarily housed in a warehouse, awaiting consolidation with other items before being loaded into a container for shipment.
• Origin Port of Departure (OPD): This refers to the port authority responsible for loading your goods onto the vessel. It’s important to note that the port authorities may levy a fee, which might not always be included in your initial quote from the international mover. It’s advisable to review your quote to ascertain if this cost is covered.
• Shipping Line: The owner of the vessel that will transport your belongings from Ireland to Italy.
• Destination Port: The customs officials at the Italian port will handle the entry of your goods into the country.
• Destination agent: This is the company subcontracted by the international mover to move your belongings from the port to your new home in Spain. It’s a good idea to contact them in advance to determine whether they plan to unload the boxes inside your home or unpack them and clear the debris for you.
