20% of the World’s Imports and Exports are conducted through Europe making them the largest area of trade worldwide. Whether your transaction is for business or a personal matter, you will have no difficulty in finding an international shipping company to transport your goods into Europe.

There are numerous ports of entry to choose from, so it would be advisable to select which area will be the most accessible for you and your needs before making any further decisions. By doing a search online you can furnish yourself with a summary of all listed European Ports, as well as being able to select your international shipping company to do the transportation for you.

When making your selection of shipping agent, see if they can offer satisfactory answers to the following questions:

•    Most importantly: Do they travel to your required destination?
•    Do they offer cost effective service?
•    Are they a reputable company with a commendable track record?
•    Can they offer references to prove this?
•    Can they deliver your shipment on or close to the prescribed date?

Your international shipping company will more than likely transport mainly by air or sea, and in some cases by land. Expenses vary according to all modes of transport so be sure to evaluate the pros and cons of each.

Each country has its own list of regulations for you to follow, and customs control will require its own set of documentation upon entry. Your international shipping company can provide you with this information, but it might be better to consult the customs official at your chosen port of entry directly. They will be able to offer you the most precise and up to date facts and figures.

To begin with, make sure you can provide details on the following:

•    Specifics on shipment. Some items may have to have been certified as safe to be transported in their country of origin, if they are permitted at all
•    You will need the sender’s details as well as details of the shipment’s destination
•    Details of your chosen international shipping company
•    Estimated date of shipping
•    A valid passport for identification purposes

With the basics in hand, the steps that follow to more specific requirements will seem all the more closer.

Shipping to Europe is by and large a pricey undertaking.

Fees and duties you should be aware of:

•    Customs charge specific duties for different items. Consult the officials in your designated port to ascertain what you are liable for on entry
•    Taxes will be applicable
•    You will be accountable for shipping and handling costs from your international shipping company
•    Extra surcharges might get added onto your bill. Be careful not to overlook this as it could amount to more than expected. You will probably find that your international shipping company adds on a surcharge for fuel, but often there are many other “hidden” costs that are not brought to the client’s attention. On the positive side, these fees are more often than not, negotiable.

International Moving 

When you go to buy a used vehicle, the last thing on your mind is whether or not the car has been submerged in water before.  This is not as rare as you might think that it is and a used car dealer or an individual defrauding a buyer is not uncommon, either.  In order to protect yourself from flooded vehicles that you may not know how to look for correctly, there are a few things that you can do. 

The first thing that you need to realize is that not all vehicle history reports are created equal.  These reports do not list all of the damage done to a vehicle or all the work that has been done on it simply because these things are only listed if the person who owns the vehicle makes a claim on it with their insurance company.  If a vehicle is flooded and the owner does not file an insurance claim, then the damage is not recorded as ever having happened at all.  Vehicle history reports are useful, but you should realize that not all damage may be included. 

Look around the trunk and glove box of the car and see if you can find any signs of rusting, sand, or silt.  These are signs of being exposed to water.  Also look for these signs under the seats and in any nooks and crannies that these things may settle into.

While you are in there, inhale deeply and notice what the car smells like.  If there is a musty smell, then this is probably due to the presence of mold growing either in the carpeting or the upholstery.  If there is an air freshener smell, then you may be dealing with someone who is trying to cover up another odor of some kind.  Be wary of air freshened vehicles. 

All electronic components need to be checked.  Be sure that they are in working order before purchasing.  Some electronic items are expendable to some vehicle owners, but if many of them are not working, consider it a possibility that the vehicle has been submerged.  Test the turn signals, windshield wipers, and etcetera.

Look around under the dashboard and see if any of the wires appear to be brittle or cracked.  If they are or they crack when you try to flex them, then they have probably been exposed to water.

Flood Damage Cleanup

When talking about preventing water damage, one of the most important places to start is outside the home.  Making sure rain and flood waters run away from your home instead of settling around the foundation is essential to prevent the weakening of it.  Water will not only cause structural damage, but it will loosen the soil in the ground around the house and cause it to sink over time.  

If you live in an extreme climate such as on that receives an exceptional amount of rainfall or snowfall every year, you need to take some extra measures to prevent water damage to your home, since it’s likely to occur in these areas more than in some others.  The more rain a home is subject to receiving upon it every year, the more likely it will seep inside and cause water damage to your home’s structural integrity.  Make sure soil at the base of the home is piled upward so that water drains away from the foundation and into another area of the yard; if you can, have it drain into the ditch that usually runs beside most homes just next to the road.

Sometimes your gutters can be overloaded by water if the rainfall is harder than normal, so the gutters attached to the outside of your home need to be as large as necessary to handle a large amount of water.  They should remain clear of debris such as leaves, sticks, and anything else that can stop them up.  Being sure these are cleaned thoroughly might be a pain, but when you think about the money that’s spent on water damaged homes every year, you’re actually saving yourself a lot of trouble.  

Be sure the downspouts that are connected to your gutters are free and clear of debris both inside them and down at the ground level so the water collected by your gutters doesn’t collect around the base of the house.

Your roof should be built at such an angle that water is not able to merely sit standing on any part of it for any period of time.  Standing water on your roof will cause weak spots and will begin to leak inside the house and eventually cause standing water there, as well.  Insulation soaks up water like candy and once it’s wet, it’s no longer effective and becomes a breeding ground for mold and other fungi.

Commercial Water Restoration 

Selling a house contaminated with mold isn’t a pleasant thing to have to deal with. There are a few things that you can do, however, to make the selling of your mold-contaminated home as painless as possible.

Any real estate sales contract should have in it an environmental inspection clause that allows for a 2 week to a 3 week inspection period so the buyer can have a professional mold inspector view the property and test it for mold or any other kind of natural hazards that might occur in the home. If it’s obvious that mold exists in the home, the only testing you should need is to determine whether the mold is toxic or not. Even if the mold isn’t a hazard to your health, it could be a hazard to the home’s structural integrity. If you can have the mold removed from the home before you sell it, this is the best thing to do. Selling the home will be easier if the mold is already gone, although you can leave this up to the buyer if you want to sell the home for a little less.

The owner of a property being sold shouldn’t make any attempt to hide mold if the problem is known about. If the buyer of the home suspects that you were trying to hide the problem, they may back away from the house completely. After all, if you would deceive them about the mold, what else could you be deceiving them about?

You should have in writing what you have done to try and correct any problems with mold or other environmental hazards. Any past water or mold damage should be disclosed also in this writing and it should be added to the sales contract so the buyer of the home legally knows about it. In addition to this, the seller should include in the contract that the home is being sold as-is and that there is no kind of warranty on the property for any environmental reasons.

Lastly, you should ask for a clause that releases not only you, but the lender, and the real estate agent from any and all liability related to mold to the buyer. As long as the information that you have given in your report about the past water and mold damage to the home and what you have done to remove it is complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge, you should be on solid legal ground should any problems with the buyer arise later.

You can start investigating schools in your new area and list any questions you may want to ask.

Your quotations should be coming in now too, from those that you’ve requested them from, and they should be making appointments to evaluate your belongings, to decide what size of van you’ll need and how many men you’ll need to help you move - or just the size of van you’ll need. You should have chosen your new utility provider by now, and have any forms you need to fill out for your bank, so that there’s no delays in changing your details to your new home.

Your Internet is also something you should start closing down, and let them know when you’re moving – if they have to come pick up (or move) your equipment, now is a good time to arrange this.
