An international move is a freight shipment with a family or a workforce attached — household goods, office files, lab equipment, vehicles and everything that cannot be left behind. Delman handles door-to-door relocation from our Dubai and India bases: survey and packing, export documentation, air or sea freight, customs clearance at destination and delivery to the new address — one coordinated plan instead of a patchwork of movers, forwarders and brokers.

What's included

Personal relocation — household effects packed, shipped and cleared for individuals and families leaving or arriving in the UAE.
Corporate relocation — office furniture, IT equipment, archives and staff relocations with inventory control and phased delivery where needed.
Door-to-door service — collection, export formalities, international transport and import clearance through to final delivery.

Personal & family moves

Household goods moves need careful packing, accurate inventories and customs regimes that treat personal effects differently from commercial cargo. We survey the shipment, supply export-grade packing and crating for fragile items, and prepare the documentation customs expects — detailed inventory, passport copies, visa or residence evidence and valuation where required. Air freight suits smaller urgent shipments; sea freight (often as a shared or sole container) suits full home contents. We advise on the right mode for volume, budget and arrival date.

Corporate & employee relocation

Corporate moves add timelines, multiple consignees and often phased deliveries — desks this week, servers next, archives to bonded storage until the new office is ready. We coordinate with HR and facilities teams, maintain numbered inventories for audit, and align with warehousing or customs clearance when goods need to be held or re-exported from the UAE. Our network across six continents supports inbound relocations to Dubai and outbound moves to the GCC, India, Europe, Africa and beyond.

What we typically move

Furniture, appliances and personal effects
Office furniture, fixtures and filing
IT equipment and specialist lab or medical items (where permitted)
Vehicles and motorcycles (subject to destination import rules)
Pets' accompanying goods — coordination with specialist pet shippers where required

How we handle your relocation

Survey & quote — volume estimate, origin and destination addresses, target dates and any restricted or high-value items flagged upfront.
Packing & inventory — professional pack, crate where needed, numbered inventory and labels for traceability.
Export from UAE — documentation, booking on air or sea, and UAE export clearance.
International transit — tracking and status updates while the shipment is in transit.
Import & delivery — customs clearance at destination (directly or via our agency partners), then delivery and unpack at the new address.
