Shipping and Removals in Shanghai
Expats shipping items to Shanghai will have the advantage of a huge number of competing relocation companies offering free quotes. Shopping around is definitely worth it, but remember that well regarded companies are a better bet than unknown, cheap ones.
Many houses and apartments come furnished in Shanghai so container shipping is often not initially needed and expats should consider air freight. Buying furniture in Shanghai is cheap and probably less expensive than shipping some from home. That said, expats often go on shopping frenzies and need to ship huge quantities of goods back to their home country.
Pets brought into Shanghai are usually limited to dogs and cats, and must have all recent vaccination and rabies certificates. It is recommended to use a pet relocation company to ease through some of the restrictions and paperwork.
Pets are quarantined for 30 days, 23 of which can be at the owner's home. Shanghai only allows one pet per person but expat pet owners should talk to a pet relocation company for advice on how to negotiate otherwise.
