International Relocation from Ghaziabad — A Plain-Language Guide to Your First Overseas Shipment

Most families we meet in Ghaziabad are shipping abroad for the first time, and usually not a whole house: one earning member is taking up a job in Dubai or Riyadh, a couple has received Canadian PR, or a student is leaving for Birmingham or Toronto. What goes is a curated lot — the kitchen, bedding, books, the mandir, a few pieces of furniture — while the rest of the joint household stays in Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara, Kaushambi, Raj Nagar Extension or Crossings Republik. REHOUSING PACKERS PVT LTD, headquartered in Gurgaon, handles these small-lot international moves across Ghaziabad district. This page is written for that first-time reader; the full process and insurance terms are on the international relocation overview, and destination customs rules are on the country pages linked below.

How small can an international shipment be?

Smaller than most people think — and this is where honest pricing matters.

• Sea LCL is priced per cubic metre with a minimum chargeable volume (commonly around one cubic metre). Ten to fifteen standard cartons of kitchenware, clothes and books make roughly 1–1.5 CBM. Below that, sea freight's fixed origin and destination charges make it poor value.
• Air freight is priced on chargeable weight; a 60–150 kg consignment (two or three suitcases' worth plus a carton of utensils) is typical for a single person joining a Gulf employer or a student.
• Excess baggage on your own flight is sometimes cheaper for the smallest lots. If your survey shows that, we say so rather than selling you a shipment.

Our surveyor gives you the CBM and weight of what you have chosen, and the quote shows LCL and air side by side so you can see the crossover.

From your Ghaziabad flat to the port

Ghaziabad's road links make the depot leg simple. ICD Loni is inside Ghaziabad district; ICD Patparganj is across the border in East Delhi; ICD Dadri is a straightforward run down NH-9 and the expressway. Which one we use depends on where your destination's shared container is being consolidated that week and which rail departure to Nhava Sheva or Mundra it catches — we name the depot and cut-off in your quote. Air shipments go to IGI Airport cargo, about 60–90 minutes away depending on traffic; we schedule around the Delhi–Meerut Expressway peak.

The destinations we see most from Ghaziabad

• Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi — the biggest flow. The shipment must not reach the UAE before your residence visa is ready; we pack and hold in our Gurgaon warehouse if needed. Read India to UAE.
• Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam) — clearance turns on your iqama; electronics need receipts. Read India to Saudi Arabia.
• Canada (Brampton, Mississauga, Surrey) — the goods-to-follow list must be declared when you land. Read India to Canada.
• USA — Form 3299 and the one-year-used rule. Read India to USA.
• UK (Birmingham, Leicester, London) — students use a separate customs route; families need ToR1 approval first. Read India to UK.
• Also Australia, Germany, Singapore, New Zealand, Netherlands.

What a first-time shipper needs to have ready

• Passport copy (all used pages) and the visa, PR confirmation or offer letter for the destination — customs on both sides ask for these.
• A list of what you are sending — we build the valued inventory with you at survey; you sign it.
• Receipts for any electronics you are shipping (TV, laptop), especially for the Gulf.
• Knowledge of what cannot go: aerosols, loose batteries, food beyond small sealed spices, alcohol, and destination-specific items (medicines for the Gulf, wooden or plant items for Australia). We hand you a one-page do-not-pack sheet for your country.
• Your society's move-out requirements — most Indirapuram and Raj Nagar Extension towers want an NOC and a lift booking; our coordinator arranges them.

Sentimental and religious items

Ghaziabad shipments carry a high share of items that matter more than their value — a mandir, brass and silver puja articles, framed photographs, a grandmother's trunk. We inventory these item by item, photograph them at packing, and advise on destination rules (Australia and New Zealand restrict plant-based puja materials; the Gulf restricts religious articles intended for display). Declared value on the inventory drives insurance: every shipment carries complementary cover up to ₹50,000, and full cover is available at 3% of the declared value.

Ghaziabad NCR storage before Delhi ICD / IGI

If the flat must be vacated before the shipment sails or before a Gulf visa is issued, packed goods are held at our Gurgaon warehouse; rates are on the charges page. Local moves within Ghaziabad are handled by our Ghaziabad packers and movers team.
