Shipping a household across an ocean takes more than a truck and a few boxes. It is a massive transition and this is where an experienced crew like ours comes in to take the weight off your shoulders. As your USA to South Africa moving company, Isaac’s Moving & Storage brings decades of overseas relocation work to a route we know well, and we handle it with the same care, honesty and attention we bring to every job.
A dedicated move coordinator is assigned to every South Africa relocation we manage, one point of contact from your first consultation through customs clearance and on to final delivery at your new home.
When you are moving to South Africa from USA soil, your shipment will travel by ocean container or by air freight, pass through South African customs, and finish its journey on a local delivery truck. Each handoff stays inside a vetted network of agents and carriers we have worked with for years.
Export packing is its own discipline, with heavier cartons, custom wooden crates for artwork and glass, and wrapping methods designed for humidity swings inside a steel container. Our crews train specifically for it, and our professional packing services use export-grade materials on every international job. Our secure storage facilities at our U.S. branches can hold shipments and our destination partners offer the same on the South African side.
Start your relocation with confidence and let our team carry the load. As established international movers to South Africa, we deliver:
We treat every shipment the way we would treat our own household, and that promise has carried us through 35 years of overseas moves. If South Africa is calling, leave your information below and an Isaac’s Moving & Storage Move Consultant will be in touch with you shortly.
Plan on six to ten weeks port to port by sea freight from the U.S. East Coast or Gulf Coast, plus time for customs and inland delivery. Air freight moves faster at a higher cost. Your Isaac’s coordinator builds a realistic schedule around your shipment size and destination.
Yes, our secure U.S. facilities hold shipments for days or months, and our South African partners provide the same on arrival. Storage helps when your lease start date or residency permit timing does not match your shipping schedule, which happens often on moves of this distance.
Our FIDI-FAIM certified global network of vetted agents and carriers handles every stage of moving household goods, from secure packing at origin to delivery in South Africa. One dedicated coordinator manages the whole chain, so problems get solved by people we know and have worked with for years.
The U.S. and South Africa maintain a tax treaty designed to limit double taxation, and South Africa taxes residents on worldwide income above certain thresholds. Tax obligations on foreign income get complicated quickly, so speak with a cross-border tax professional. We handle the move and leave tax advice to the experts.
Yes, we can help returning South Africans as well as American expats heading over for the first time move their belongings and household. Our team times packing and shipping around your paperwork so your belongings arrive when you do.
