Case Overview: Mr. Wu entrusted Seapoe Relo to ship furniture and household items from his Shanghai home to Paris

Mr. Wu, a holder of a French long-term residence visa, planned to move his entire set of solid wood furniture, appliances, and household goods from Shanghai to his new home in Paris. European-style furniture features delicate contours and fragile edges that do not fare well under the bumps of long sea voyages. The client was also unfamiliar with the duty-free customs clearance rules for new immigrants' personal effects in France and worried about customs declaration and furniture damage. After comparing several options, he chose Seapoe's door-to-door one-stop international moving service.

Step 1: Tailored plan with duty-free clearance arranged in advance

A dedicated consultant took over the case, inventoried every item in the home, and customized an LCL sea freight plan based on volume. Working within French entry policy, the team planned the duty-free declaration process for used furniture in advance and prepared the full set of customs documents, helping the client clear customs compliantly and duty-free.

Step 2: Careful in-home packing with upgraded protection for European furniture

Seapoe's professional team handled detailed packing at the home with upgraded protection for delicate European pieces. Each solid wood item was first wrapped in cotton paper to shield the finish from scratches. Irregular edges and carved details received custom anti-collision corner guards. Large cabinets and appliances were wrapped in multiple layers of pearl cotton for cushioning. Fragile and impact-prone items were reinforced with custom fumigation-free wooden crates, labeled with fragile, moisture-proof, and no-stacking markings, fully suited to the demands of ocean freight.

Step 3: Consolidated warehousing, customs declaration, and fully traceable logistics

Once packing was complete, the goods were returned to the Shanghai warehouse for a second count and reinforcement, with free storage available. The team handled export customs declaration, booking, and shipping procedures in a standardized manner, syncing the sea freight tracking in real time so the client could follow the logistics online at any time.

Step 4: Compliant clearance in Paris and one-stop delivery to the door

After the cargo arrived at port, overseas specialists managed compliant customs clearance, using the new immigrant personal effects policy for smooth, efficient processing. A dedicated truck then delivered everything to the home, with unloading, furniture placement, and unpacking and cleanup completed as part of the full service—ready for the client to move straight in.

When the move was finished, Mr. Wu was fully satisfied. Every piece of furniture arrived without a scratch, and the duty-free process ran smoothly and efficiently.
