We get started
Your concierge takes you through the plan step by step. If you only need a home, a leasing agent looks after you from there.
Shipping a household across borders is a long chain: packing at the old home, freight, customs in Vietnam, and delivery to a home you may not have found yet when the boxes leave. The hard part is not the ship, it is making every link meet the next.
Nest arranges household shipping through a trusted partner and ties it to the rest of your move, so the delivery date matches the lease we find you, and we check what customs needs for your shipment before it leaves.
What to have ready
Shipping household goods runs on paperwork, and we check what customs needs for your shipment. Having these ready early helps.
- A full, honest inventory of what is being shipped, room by room
- Copies of your passport, visa and, once you have it, your work permit or residence card
- The address in Vietnam the goods are going to, or the date you expect to have one
- A list of anything that may need a permit or may not be allowed, so it can be checked before it is packed
Timing the shipment
Sea freight is usually the cheaper way to ship a household and air freight the quicker one, and many people send a few essentials by air and the rest by sea. We help you plan what to bring in your luggage, what to ship and when, so you are not living out of a suitcase for longer than you need to.
