Make the important details easy to see

Tell us more than the room it came from.

A room-by-room list is a useful start. Add enough detail for the team to understand any piece that needs a closer look rather than leaving it under a general household label.

What it is

Name the item clearly.

Describe the actual furniture, package or other goods. Keep anything unusual or uncertain on the list and explain the question you want checked.

What it is like

Add size, condition and delicate parts.

Give approximate dimensions and point out fragile sections or removable parts. Mark estimates as estimates, especially where a piece has not yet been measured.

The work around it

Explain the help you are requesting.

Say what needs packing or furniture preparation and show collection access during the survey. A handling request and acceptance of the goods are separate questions.

Use the authority for the actual destination

Check the Dutch-side guidance for the goods.

Sint Maarten Customs controls goods entering and leaving the territory, including personal effects. Ask what applies to the actual items and origin rather than relying on a general duty-free description.

Check current requirements with the relevant authority. French Saint Martin or Caribbean Netherlands guidance should not be substituted for the Dutch Sint Maarten shipment you have described.

Read the Sint Maarten Customs information

Connect the description to the preparation

Agree the work around those pieces.

Furniture and loose belongings

Show the team what needs attention.

Our team handles the survey and manages the agreed job. Full-service moves include professional international packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, with the work set out in the quotation.

Our international packing specialists have over 20 years of experience. Discuss delicate pieces, preparation needs and access before the proposed work is settled.

Choose the next discussion for your goods

Bring the right help into the request.

Keep the goods, Dutch-side receiving address and work wanted in one enquiry. The proposed route, acceptance and receiving support still need review for that shipment.

Tell the team which preparation you want included. Packing-only booking conditions need a separate check.

Make the Dutch-side request clearer

Questions before packing and collection.

Is this the Dutch-side page?

Yes. This page concerns Dutch Sint Maarten. Give the actual receiving address so the request is reviewed for the right destination.

What if the receiving address is on the French side?

Choose Saint Martin in the enquiry and give that address. It is a separate destination; this request does not confirm a cross-border service.

What should I mention before packing?

Identify unusual items, uncertain contents, delicate parts and any question about acceptance. Keep them visible in the item list rather than assuming a household label settles the matter.

Can I request furniture preparation?

Yes. Show the furniture during the survey and explain which packing, dismantling or reassembly work you want considered alongside the proposed shipment.

Does duty-free mean every item can be shipped?

No. Goods acceptance, authority requirements and the charges in the proposed work need their own checks. A general tax description is not an individual shipment approval.

Can I ask about leaving Sint Maarten?

Use the route leaving Dutch Sint Maarten option and name the intended destination. That direction needs its own route and receiving review.

Connected services

One shipment may need more than one service.

Start with the main shipment. Add supporting services only when they are useful, so the enquiry stays clear.
