When relocating to France, it is important to have a plan in place and execute it properly. Hercules Moving Company offers a free consultation with our experienced international movers to go over the details of your move and make sure everything goes according to plan.

During this initial consultation, we will discuss your moving needs and requirements; such as timeline, budget, quantity of items being shipped, etc. This information is essential in ensuring that your move runs smoothly and successfully.

Expert Packing for Moving to France

Today is the packing day for your international move to France. Most countries, including France, do not accept containers that are packed by the owner (PBO). If you attempt to ship items that have not been professionally packed, you may encounter long delays and extra charges at customs.

At Hercules Moving Company, we have years of experience in international moving and our team of expert packers will ensure your items arrive safely. We use the best packing materials and techniques for overseas shipping.

Instead of moving blankets, we use branded Alligator Wrap and extra sturdy international moving boxes. International packing must be performed much better than local packing. We will also prepare an inventory to meet all import/export requirements.

Your items will be packed in a way that ensures they are safe during transport across the ocean.

Customs Clearance When Moving to France

After the packing and preparation is done, the shipment is loaded and shipped to France using the preferred method by our customers. In France, the shipment will arrive in a port and then go through customs clearance for it to be able to enter the country.

Customs clearance includes all necessary procedures and documents needed for items to be accepted into France.

At Hercules Moving Company, we have experts who are knowledgeable in handling customs clearance properly. We understand how important it is that experienced professionals can navigate complex regulations and requirements in order to ensure a smooth transition into France.

Our team of professionals will provide personalized support throughout the entire process, offering assistance with paperwork and addressing any concerns or questions throughout.

Thanks to our expertise in customs clearance procedures, individuals relocating to France can relax knowing that they have professional help navigating this complex procedure.

With Hercules Moving Company’s services, we guarantee a seamless transition for our customers with minimal delays when moving internationally.

Delivery to France

Once the items have cleared customs, they will be delivered to the client's new home overseas. The delivery process is handled by a trusted agent in the destination country, also known as a destination service.

This is an optional service that clients can choose if they have selected door-to-door service. Of course, one can opt to handle delivery themselves if they prefer.

Our delivery services include debris removal on the same moving day, which is a free service to help keep your new home clean and tidy after the move. In addition, Hercules Moving Company's experienced crews can help stage furniture however you like in your new place of residence.

What Clients say About Us

Hercules rescued my move when another Toronto movers cancelled on me days before the big day. They were professional and knew exactly how to protect all of my belongings during the move in terrible rain.

I was very satisfied with Hercules Moving Company. They made it easy and stress free for us. They arrived on time and packed and professionally covered our furniture to go into storage, since we are in between houses. I was amazed by how they were able to efficiently pack and store a 5 bedroom, 2 living room, office and a gym into a storage unit where they organized everything to fit perfectly. This wasn't an easy job and I was 100% satisfied with their service and would recommend them to anyone looking for good quality movers. Thanks Hercules Moving company for helping us move!

Excellent household moving service from HMC van lines. Hercules Movers were nice, clean and fresh! They had applied their traditional wrapping technique, and I was surprised with the level of their professionalism. Finally, after moving into a new house, Hercules Movers placed and unpacked all the furniture and belongings, and left the floor clean. Thank you, HMC family!

The movers showed up on time and ready to work, they were very efficient and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Private User

They did an excellent job moving the piano as they took extreme care not to damage the piano or anything else in the house. I will most likely use them during my next big move as up to now I've been doing most of the moving myself. Thank you.

Kavaleo Bram

We had never used movers before and did a lot of research before deciding on Hercules Moving Company. The Calgary movers showed up early and were ready to go on time. They worked quickly and diligently and moved our entire house in 6 hours. I was very grateful for not having to do the heavy lifting ourselves and that everything was moved without damage and in good time. I would definitely use them again!

Hercules Piano Moving has picked up my piano which I had donated. They were very professional, covering and sealing the piano. Making note not to damage my flooring and returning all furnishings back into their original places. I would recommend this company, reliable, quick and efficient.

Good job. Guys were very pleasant and fast. Everything was clear, no hidden fees. They met all my request.

RaisingtheRoof

Hercules Movers were great to deal with and very professional. Ottawa movers were on time with very friendly movers who even called to update us on their departure and arrival. We had a great experience and recommend them.

I was very worried when I knew I had to move my piano and I did some research online to see how can I get it done and I found Hercules Moving Company and I decided to give them a try. I was astonished how quickly and easy they did that without leaving a single mark on it. I was pleased and surely will call again!!!

Vivid Reflection

With short notice, Hercules Moving Company was able to book my piano moving during a time that worked well for me. Other companies I had looked into were not as flexible and were more expensive. They were very professional. I would definitely use Hercules Oshawa Moving Company again, and would absolutely recommend them.

Private User

These Burlington movers did a great job moving my wife and I out of our downtown condo. Took care of everything they moved, and did things quickly and efficiently. The quote itself was reasonable and compared well to others. Will use them again for future moves.
